I currently have a 34" ultrawide and a 27" 16:9 Monitor. I currently have the 27" on top of the 34" with a vertical/stacking monitor mount. I'd like the ability to easily move the 27" to the side of the 34" (as in, on the same level) for when I need to do photo editing or video presentations...

I don't understand the distinction you're making between "fiber optic cable" and "optical fiber." Fiber optic cable is a cable that contains optical fiber strand(s), as well as other components that shroud the fibers, themselves. The sharing of the bandwidth would be the rub... The video signal...

So that would imply 2 thunderbolt docks? Couldn't it just go PC > Thunderbolt Optical Cable > Thunderbolt Dock > Display and Peripherals ??

I'd like to install my PC in my server rack, which is located in my utility room. The room is cooled better than my office, and it has a very nice UPS. Plus, the PC is quite large (E-ATX motherboard and large case). From my office to the server rack would be about a 40 foot run of cable...

I have a Supermicro M12WA-TF Motherboard for the Threadripper Pro. I added a PCIe USB card because I was originally going to use Linux for VMs, and I wanted to pass the entire USB card to the VM. I currently just run Windows 10 with no VMs. About once every few minutes, my keyboard will...

Thanks for the input. The areas I'd be using it in would be way "in the boonies" so I'm not overly concerned about getting in trouble, or causing any harmful interference.

There are a couple popular models in the Overland/Offroad community, WeBoost being the most notable, that do seem to work. Although I've never used one. That have antenna that are mounted outside the car/RV, and then amplify and re-broadcast whatever signal they can. They can be expensive -...

What I'm looking for probably doesn't exist, but I'll ask, anyway. I'm looking to get a Windows 2-in-1 detachable tablet/laptop (Surface type form factor) that has a screel that will work well in the sun. I currently have a Thinkpad X1 Gen 2. It has about a 400nit screen, and it's pretty...

I'm looking to hook up a networking setup for an RV. The goal is to create as usable of an internet connect as is feasible. I'm going to add an (probably Teletonika) LTE router that has external antennas. I'm trying to decide if it's worthwhile to add a signal booster, as well? I'm concerned...

I'm learning about wireless setups, and I'm having a hard time differentiating between "Mesh" and "Repeaters." As I understand it, Repeaters talk directly to the "Main" AP, while Mesh Systems can talk to the "Main AP" or they can talk to other systems in the Mesh network. Is that more or less...

Trust me, I get that. The problem is that the vast majorityu of my customers aren't willing to do any of that; they don't understand it, and they don't want to understand it. They also can't just wire the buildings themselves, or have their cousin's friend do it, the same way a home user can...

Is it possible to configure them via web GUI and skip the controller altogether?

I'm interested in learning about different hardware options out there, specifically WiFi hardware. Ubiquiti seems to be popular. As I understand it, UniFi APs require a controller, either installed on their Cloudkey, a router that has it integrated, or installed on a server somewhere. My...

What are some good options for small office/home office routers/networking equipment? I work for a cable ISP. I mainly do B2B sales. My company provides customer are single, sort of crappy, WiFi router, which often leads to a bad experience, especially for SMBs that need effective WiFi in large...

Right, that does sound wildly inefficient. There are quite a few consumer-grade 2-3 satellite mesh kits on the market, how do those typically perform?
