Your problem with the inverter is how long it is designed to be used. You can in a way think of this as your family car. The engine is designed to be used on your normal roads. You can run it at higher speed for short periods of time say to pass someone on a road. If you were to take...

So how does the internet connect. Is there a modem/ont type box the fiber connects to or does it connect directly to the EERO router. So first I will assume you are testing with a ethernet connected directly to the ISP EERO router. If you are using wifi then you will get random results...

If it does not appear in the device manager even when you display hidden devices you start to suspect a bad chip. It is not as common as say a laptop but check in the bios that the ethernet did not somehow get disabled. Sometimes the bios can also see/use the ethernet because it has...

Maybe you get lucky and they used ethernet wire to do the telephone port and you can just change out both ends to ethenet. I would consider buying another router and use it as a AP. You would then place your current router near the ONT and place put the new router running as a AP in the...

Generally the router must go next to the ONT. You might have gotten lucky though since your dining room has 2 jacks which not a common thing that is done. What you can likely do is run a cable from a LAN port on the router to the other jack in the dining room. It should in theory connect...

You are taking thing too literally. The parts likely will not catch on fire they will just fail. Likely something inside a chip or say a capacitor melts and it just stop working. The parts used to make these UPS are selected based on the run time. The parts are designed to say tolerate...

The ethernet is likely failing for some reason and it is switching over to wifi. Generally this is how it is suppose to work say on a laptop that you would unplug from ethernet to move someplace else. On a desktop you most times don't want both ethernet and wifi active. You key issue is...

Maybe you could come up with a educated guess which router work different "better?" if you were only looking at a single location. You could use external antenna to match the particular cell tower you are getting your signal from. When this is truly mobile it is just like your cell phone...

That is a rather low end UPS to begin with. Mostly this will all depend on what they call duty cycle. How many minutes are the parts designed to run continuously. If you look at the inverters used on solar stuff they cost a lot more because they are designed to be run 24x7x365. A UPS most...

If it is technical research where all the results are public does it really matter who is paying. It only matters when the research could be used for political purposes is important to know who funds it. Nothing really new. The sugar producers fund research that shows artificial sweeteners...

Since I don't use VR stuff I am not 100% sure how they work. If the VR headset somehow directly talk to the PC via wifi most of the following is not valid. Last times I looked these type of devices connected to your router via wifi but they talk to a local PC or game console to provide the data...

Depends on what you mean "monthly". First you are looking for a data plan for a device like a tablet or hotspot these tend to be more expensive than data plans for phones. There might still be plans that you pay per gbyte. These were extremely expensive last time I saw them. What is...

Yes. It will do that even on the very fastest connection. When the connection goes to 100% the router has 2 options. It can throw away all traffic over the limit and you get loss. Or It can allow you to exceed the limit for a very short time by putting data in a buffer and hopes to...

You might try a device similar to this one. This is 2 different types of testers in one. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TMDFG3W What you do to pick one of your remote rooms and plug the tester in. Then go back to the main area with all the jacks and put the sensor part near each until...

You are likely over thinking this. Just using a better cooler is going to allow you to run all the fans at lower RPM. The fans on stock coolers tend to be loud and just replacing that might have been enough. It is all going to be trial and error since all kinds of stuff like how the...
