    [SOLVED] Hardwired access point - does the router matter?

    Thanks! I do not use anything special. I just run a bunch of smart devices, a few streaming boxes, and some computers off the 88U. I don't have a VPN and I have QoS disabled.

    [SOLVED] Hardwired access point - does the router matter?

    Hey everyone. I live in a stacked townhouse and I'm trying to get Wi-Fi down to my garage (basically my living space is 4 floors up from the garage). Currently I have a Asus RT-AC88U router but the Wi-Fi does not get all the way down to the garage. However the internet feedpoint from the ISP is...

    Windows 10 won't give me my desktop - public desktop only

    I have a fresh install of Windows 10 and I've migrated my user folders over to my D drive because I have a small SSD for a C drive. For some reason it's forcing my desktop to be C:\Users\Public\Public Desktop. Here is a screenshot: http://imgur.com/a/WPz4Y I can't use my desktop with my...

    Maximus IX boots to bios doesn't detect raid

    Just to close this out, I booted to my year old backup and windows deactivated itself because of the hardware change. I used the activation troubleshooter and ended up calling Microsoft. Since I don't have my windows 7 keys anymore and I couldn't pull them from the registry I had to start fresh...

    Maximus IX boots to bios doesn't detect raid

    When I try legacy raid I still can't use Ctrl+I. I try pressing it many times, but it always just goes into bios. To clarify, my harddrives are from my previous build. So they already have windows 10 on them in raid 0. I am just trying to move these drives to this build. I do not want to...

    Maximus IX boots to bios doesn't detect raid

    Alright, I've got another one for you guys. I finally got my IX Formula into bios after having no video. I installed all my harddrives and enabled raid. The problem is it detects all my harddrives but it won't boot to my boot drive. I have 2 SSDs in raid 0 for OS and 3 HDDs for storage. If I...

    Maximus IX Formula A2 Code No Post

    I switched to a HDMI since I don't have DVI and I got video! I sure hope after it's all fixed I can use DP still since I have a Z35 200hz monitor. As of right now that's the solution! Ill post back here if it ends up not being the answer. Thanks alexoiu!

    Maximus IX Formula A2 Code No Post

    In case anyone is wondering, I use raid 0 for my boot drives, split between 2x256GB SSDs. Until I get into the BIOS to setup raid I won't have a valid boot drive (from the motherboard's perspective)

    Maximus IX Formula A2 Code No Post

    As stated in my original post, I have no drives connected because it's another variable and because you can access bios without drives. I've tried with them connected and without them connected. I've tried different monitors and different cables and built in graphics. I get the A2 error without...
