Definitely not bad cable. 23AWG solid bare copper. The same cable is working on short and longer runs, and working to and from regular switches, POE switches, and the cameras. It's just the one port on the POE injector that's a problem. I also tried some cat6a shielded patch cables that are...

Hello, I'm having an issue with a TP-Link POE injector (TL-PoE150S ). I'm wiring an IP camera system using cat6 shielded wire. The lan port will not accept cat6 shielded wire. I've tried different wires with different ends. The POE port on the injector works fine with the same wire going to...

That's what I thought. Thanks for the confirmation. All together - Drivers installed - Activated. Now if I can get caught up on my work on other people's computers, and finish setting this thing up, I can get to some serious gaming. Thanks again, Chief

Hello, I am upgrading a previous file server that I got from one of my clients. I have already replaced the processor. Windows 7 has not complained about the hardware change, though I have not connected it to the internet since the change. I am also going to replace the hard drive and add a...

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to ask this question, but there doesn't seem to be any other one more correct. I have been doing computer tech work for a living for a very long time, and I have only now built and set up a new computer with a touch screen monitor. The client has a...

Well - not so fast. It appears to be the board. Upgrading the bios let it post with all 4 memory modules, and the bios recognized that there were 4 of them in there, so I assumed that it was fixed after the bios flash. However, when I tried to install Windows, it kept failing with corruption...

I updated the bios and it seems to be working fine. I was planning to try that, but I thought maybe I'd get an easier answer on here. I did wait until I called ASUS support, because I wanted them to tell me to do it and have a case number, in the event of catastrophic failure. That way they...

All the slots work. It just won't take more than 2 DIMMs, and it doesn't matter which slots they are in. 2 sticks of ram will work in any 2 slots that I put them in. Add another in any slot configuration, and it won't post.

After looking further, it may have been Newegg that screwed me. The memory that I received was version 3.2, which is not listed on the QVL list. The Newegg listing has photos, and I checked the photo, which when zoomed, shows version 5.29, which is on the QVL. I'm not sure if that matters, or...

I'm having memory issues on this new build: ASUS PRIME Z370-A II Intel Core i5-9600K CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 16GB (4 x 4GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2666 (PC4 21300) Desktop Memory Model CMK16GX4M4A2666C16 The memory is on their QVL list All 4 sticks work in the board. All 4 slots work on the...

Hello, I'm a computer tech. I have a client who managed to corrupt his Win 10 BCD twice in the past week - once after a power failure, and once when he was trying to hook up the UPS that I had him buy, even though I told him to wait for me to do it. The first time I could not get any of my...

What are you trying to block? Are you hoping that the router is smart enough to block certain types of sites with a filter (family filter or porn filter or similar), or are you trying to block specific sites that you know and that you specifically enter into the router? Why are you trying to...

It is probably broken on the inside. On all older laptops, that used to be soldered onto the motherboard and almost impossible to repair. Now, many laptops have that charger pin port as a modular plugin part. You will have to find a schematics or tear down instructions, and see if it is...
