tl;dr - I read Gigabyte 14-pin TPM chips that fit onto Asus 14-pin TPM headers will necessarily work; but I tried & it didn't, is it me / the chip / or bad info? Imgur link with a screenshot of the datasheet for the chip + photos of it. Motherboard is Asus Z270e: View...

I forgot to answer if the drive is initialized. No. If I understand what you mean… As of now I have not been able to detect either of the brand new M.2 drives I now have. Also, I am aware that my motherboard shares a PCIe lane between the SATA express and M.2 ports so that only one can be...

If the screw for M.2 drives only comes with the motherboard, that is asinine. I bought this PC from someone else. I’ve installed M.2 network cards on laptops and they always came with the screw. This is my first NVMe drive (clearly). When I bought this PC pre owned it didn’t occur to me to...

My system specs are as follows: Asus H170 Pro Gaming Mobo i7-7700K CPU NVidia GTX 750 4x16GB DDR4-2666mhz (running @ 2133 right now) Intel AX200 PCIe Expansion Card 128GB mSATA SSD 256GB mSATA SSD 500GB SATA HDD (I know most of this is irrelevant just thought I'd include in the interest of...

Apparently there is less than zero benefit. Apparently if you change the subnet mask at the router level to 255.255.255.192 you will no longer be able to log in to the router via 192.168.1.1. The benefit that I thought of is that there are never going to be more than 64 different devices on my...

I have an ASUS RT-AC87U router connected to a Motorola Surfboard modem. That has a Netgear router behind it in access point mode, with my wired network behind that. I had to do a factory reset this morning which was a huge pain in the ass, I wound up having to reset both the access point and...

Sorry if I was not clear, I am aware of that. And the USB header is connected as it should be

Hey, it is a PCIe card with both antennas soldered onto it. This photo shows a board that is almost identical to the one I am referring to. Note the only connection outside of the PCIe lane being the USB connector. View: https://imgur.com/gallery/M65NG66

Hey everyone, Sorry for another stupid question. I wanted to add Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities to my desktop. I have an ASUS H170 Pro Gaming motherboard which I knew had an open M.2 slot on the motherboard which I used to justify ordering the Inter AX200 Wi-Fi 6 Desktop kit. That was my first...

So, I am building a home network and have encountered more difficulties than I had planned for. I wanted to have a router dedicated to the computers and phones where there is sensitive data (router A) and a separate network for all of the IoT devices (router B) that we have in the house. I...

I had a similiar issue to this with one of my clients machines at work today, but I started a new thread because this is a bit different. I have a network of wired computers at home, connected to a switch that goes to my router/modem. All of the computers are online, including my wireless...

I am having this issue on one of my computers on my home network, and on a clients machine at work. Since I am sitting in front of my clients machine now, I will focus on that machine first. It is an older Windows XP Compaq laptop. I am able to ping google with both the IP address and the...
