Yes, I am testing the signal with a phone, but the WLAN indicator light on the repeater also suggests there is no signal. Additionally, when I set up the repeater, three boxes with configuration info appear on the main setup page: WLAN, LAN and WAN. When I subsequently realise there is no signal...

My desktop PC is plugged into the LAN port of the repeater and my modem/router is plugged into the WAN port. The repeater is running in router mode, using the same SSID for the wireless network as the router/modem. This has worked without issue for several months , but all of a sudden, and...

Oops, ignore the price, forgot to remove it before I posted.

Thanks for all the advice so far. I think I have a finalised spec, but if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know: CPU: Intel Core i5 750 Heatsink: Akasa AK-CC017 Freedom Tower (LambdaTek - £25.64) Mobo: Asus P7P55D-E Pro RAM: 4GB G.Skill Ripjaw 1600MHz CL7 GFX: Sapphire HD 5850 HD...

I think I will try to overclock at some point, so I will go for the OEM processor. I'm not sure whether the motherboard will support 2000mhz. On Asus' website it says: " 4 x DIMM, Max. 16 GB, DDR3 2200(O.C.)*/1600/1333/1066 Non-ECC,Un-buffered Memory". Since the RAM is still less than...

Thanks for the thorough reply; it was very helpful indeed. Will the motherboard be able to support RAM at 2000 MHz? There is only £10 difference between it and the 1600 MHz RAM, so I am considering that. Both are CL9. Ideally, I want to be able to play demanding 3D games at 1900 x 1200 on...

I have seen the Ripjaw memory listed in 3 versions; CL7, 8 and 9. How important is this, and is it worth the bit extra to get the CL7 version? I don't want to spend extra money on anything if there is a bottleneck elsewhere. I was also considering getting an HD 5850, but again, only if it is...

Hi, I'm about to embark on building my next system, so I was wondering if anybody had any recommendations. My budget is around £700-800 (around $1300). I will mainly be using it for gaming. So far, I am considering a Core i5 750 and an Asus P7P55D-E Pro mobo, along with 4GB G.skill Ripjaw...
