    Question How to extend the range of Wi-Fi in our apartment?

    Yes, I know. So if I get a wifi repeater and provided that it works, how would the setup be? Will we have 2 wifi SSIDs that we need to connect to if someone goes from the room with the router to the kitchen?

    Question How to extend the range of Wi-Fi in our apartment?

    We moved to an apartment with large concrete walls that were completely destroying the Wi-Fi signal from the router provided by the ISP. So I did some research and bought "TP-Link Archer AX10000 Wi-Fi 6 Router" after I read many reviews that it greatly extended people's Wi-Fi range. Well, in...

    [SOLVED] Does anyone know the name of this connector?

So now I'm wondering if I can buy something like that myself as a backup. This is the picture of the old power supply that went...

    [SOLVED] How does WORM microSD/SD Card work on the low level?

    I've been reading about Write-Once-Read-Many (WORM) microSD and SD cards. The idea is that the card will work like an old CD-R/W disk, where you can write only new files. Overwrites or any changes to existing files are not allowed. (Reads are allowed as many times as necessary.) These cards are...

    [SOLVED] Trying to wire * and # keys to have the same function on the access keypad

    We have an access control keypad at the storage site that looks like this. It's an old DigiGate/PTI keypad: It works by letting people enter their code (as digits) followed by an asterisk (*). Unfortunately though, some keypads also do the same but require a pound (#) at the end, which makes...

    SSD to support hardware based full disk encryption via BitLocker?

    Yes, I did. And it took about an hour. Then having like 0% chance of success, I still checked with manage-bde -status D: and it gave me XTS-AES 128 So, no. It didn't work.

    How to turn off LEDs on Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GPU?

    @TJ Hooker: I'm sorry buddy if I have to explain why opening listening ports for adjusting LED lights is a bad idea! I just noticed your Nvidia badge next to your name. I truly hope that you're just a marketing person and not the one of the developers. As for the Apple crapware, who said that...

    SSD to support hardware based full disk encryption via BitLocker?

    A quick update. Thanks for sticking with me, btw. I already re-installed Windows 10 three times, and this hardware based encryption still doesn't work. To recap. I have two SSD drives: - C: boot drive: Samsung SSD 970 PRO 512GB - D: drive: Samsung SSD 970 EVO 1TB So to avoid wasting time on...
