Okay, reviewed those documents... -Downstream- Signal is good, as per the troubleshooting document, Modulation is QAM256, meaning I should be looking for a power level of - 15 dBmV to + 15 dBmV for each downstream channel. Each of my channels is lay between 5.5dBmV and 6, so very close to...

Is it possible that link is so slow because the modem isnt doing well? Whether it's old and failing or just bad to begin with? Like my understanding is that's the rate that the router is detecting from the modem, and reporting it, so it could be the modem itself, the cable between... or...

Hello everyone! Read through before you start to come to conclusions, cause I've made progress but Im going to give the whole story. Just to set up: I've got a pc that my download speeds have been abysmal for years. I made some half hearted attempts at fixing it a few years ago, but just...

Alright, I think I have it fixed. I swapped back to HDMI, the games that were acting up ran fine. So I swapped back to DisplayPort... right back to poop. Then, I swapped to a different DP port on my graphics card and... boom, we're good. I dunno if that port is messed up or what, there are 3...

So I did a restart on the whole pc after setting the resolution and refresh rate, as I think I understood what you meant... It made no difference. I changed the settings from 2560 x 1440 @ 144hz down to 1920 x 1080 @ 60hz, which is how I ran these games before. Still seeing exactly the same issue

Hello! GPU I’m using is a Radeon r9 390 Just got a new monitor Msi optix AG321cqr Everything’s been working great, but today I tried to play Just Cause 2 and the screen was full of static, right from the screens with the publishers and everything and all the way to the title screen… like it...

I realize this is a fairly old thread now, but I wanted to update it as I seem to have found a solution and it seems like this isnt a super common topic, so it might help someone else. I read a lot about how 2-in-1 modem/router units seem to have a higher defect rate than individual units. The...

So I got a mousepad as a gift for christmas. It's a nice pad and I like it, but it has a bit of an issue. My optical mouse seems to have a difficult time tracking on it, the cursor moves fine side to side, but up and down is very jerky and stuttery, and sometimes it gets stuck all together...

Im having a fairly persistent issue that I havnt been able to find help for. I've got an Arris SBG6700-AC. It runs a 2.4Ghz network and a 5Ghz network. I have both networks running, both are password protected, and both are broadcasting their network ID. The names are essentially XXX1 and...

I have Amazon prime so cost isn't an issue, just wait time. At that point even the next day option was 3 days because of the weekend. It was up and running Sunday, though. I figured a solution to it without waiting until Tuesday. Sunday afternoon I took a trip to lowes and got some 5mm x 3"...

I just got my new build booted up for the first time on a fresh install of windows10. I have an SSD for my boot drive, and two HDD's also connected that I brought over from my old PC that have all my stuff on them. Im having some issues, though. For example as I try to open this directory...

I also had this issue just this morning when I booted up my new build for the first time. I had to install the driver for my ethernet device. Soon as that driver installed it instantly connected.

Alright guys, you convinced me not to try it. I have to wait until Tuesday though, I've been down for a week now! It's crazy how you can't get any of this stuff in person anymore, I looked for 50 miles around and no store has cpu fans and heat sinks in stock. Best Buy has one option with a...

I'm in the final stages of putting my new pic together that I built. I just came to realize that the motherboard and my cpu heat sink won't work together. The heat sink is from my dell Inspiron and bolts to the motherboard. The new MSI motherboard isn't threaded there, it's meant to be used...

I just got home, reseated both ram sticks, reseated the processor, reseated all the plugs, and installed the optical drive. I also reset the cmos pins. No change. However, I did notice this to the center left: I guess that mess happened while I was positioning the GPU card. Could that...
