Understood. Thank you both very much.

Thank you! That actually sets me on the right path. Quick question though: Why go for an AC1900 if you mention we'd need 800Mbit link rate. Wouldn't that be overkill? I've found some used TpLink AC 1350 and AC1750 on the local market for a fair price, would these cause some sort of bottleneck?

Hello everyone, I've been researching a bit and looking to buy a router that replaces the one the ISP provided, which is currently limiting the wi-fi connection speed. We're two persons, and our current plan is 120Mbps, limited to 50Mbps by the current router, although hopefully upgrading soon...

Hello, I just bought an Acer Aspire E15 E5-576-392H and the screen or panel on it looks as if it has a coating or something, making it kinda blurry. I don't know if this is normal and I'm unable to show it on a photograph. I tried cleaning it with a cloth and some Windex, but still nothing...

Hello, A friend brought me a DELL PC because he wants to install an SSD. His PC is a DELL premade which only has 1 SATA power cable and 1 power connector for the optical drive, with 2 SATA data ports on the MOBO. The power connectors come from a cable connected to a 6pin port on the MOBO...

Hey, @BadAsAl @SuperSoph_WD I think flashing the BIOS shows promise and could fix this, however i'm having trouble performing the actual instalation of the update. By the way the laptop is a Compaq Presario F754LA, forgot to mention actual model. I downloaded the BIOS update (There was only...

Hey guys, I've been checking a laptop which fails to boot because the hard disk isn't recognized. I tried checking the BIOS and nothing, however it does recognize other HD and i can perform tests on them normally. I pulled the unrecognizable HD from the laptop and attached a USB interface...

Hey, I've been wondering if the B85M-P33 is a good motherboard for a budget build, it sits at 57USD and works for the rest of the build. Is MSI making good mobos? Also, can i use Kingston HyperX 4x2GB 1600MHz ram with it?
