    Question KVM Switch Recommendations

    Would this work? I've never used a KVM Switch before. This one has HDMI+DP for PC1/PC2. I'm worried though because if this is like a router I'd need to go from my GPU DP to the KVM DP on PC1 but there would be no DP from PC1 to the monitor. The monitor with the DP does have other ports like...

    Question KVM Switch Recommendations

    Looking at the docking station I was provided is what prompted me to include the display port information. I have a hodgepodge mix of hardware including monitors. Depending, if there was a significant price increase I'd have to consider just using the one monitor with the laptop as opposed to...

    Question KVM Switch Recommendations

    Hello all! I am looking for a KVM switch for my work laptop to use my two monitors and to be able to switch to the desktop and still use these monitors where needed. I was given a 'docking station' by my work and well, it doesn't let me do this so I'd have to unhook my desktop from my monitors...

    Question KVM Switch recommendation ?

    I think perhaps the question they are asking is are there other similar KVM switches of better value—however they ascribe value in this case.

    Question My wife has a faster LAN connection than me ?

    I have both of these running on both computers. What info should I give you? Port/Destination Address (this looks like my IP...?), packet count...? I am again hilariously slow on this download compared to my wife. Here is a sanitized (hopefully well enough) table of what I have from Network...

    Question My wife has a faster LAN connection than me ?

    Not sure what those tools are. Third party or native to windows? Recommendation if third party?

    Question My wife has a faster LAN connection than me ?

    We are both running the same wires. My link speed is 1 Gbps. *edit* I also started the download well before her computer was even on so it doesn't feel like a priority setting. I looked in my router and didn't see anything there either. I just did the speed test and we are roughly equal...

    Question My wife has a faster LAN connection than me ?

    While I do get that I may just be getting the short end of this routing stick I think it would be reasonable to assume that sometimes my wife gets the short end too if it's all random. That has never been the case for multiple download items. She consistently gets 25 and I get 3. Steam, private...

    Question My wife has a faster LAN connection than me ?

    My link speed is the same as the one you show here. *Edit* - I was thinking I might have to tracert to see how my computer and my wife's computer are being routed. Since it's not a regular thing I do and I'm not sure to which server this game launcher is directing me I was googling some...

    Question My wife has a faster LAN connection than me ?

    How do I check link speed? Also, in previous tests on the front page of this thread it looks like I was routed to one server and my wife to another when we did the speed test. It might be a routing issue, I suppose. Not sure how I'd go about fixing that but I'll look into the links and do some...

    Question My wife has a faster LAN connection than me ?

    Ok, I am having the same issue. I started the download for ff14 since the wife and I were thinking about playing that again and her download speed is 25 and mine is like... 1.4 and I started the download about 10-15 minutes before hers. Its driving me mad trying to figure this out. I thought...

    Question My wife has a faster LAN connection than me ?

    So far but see my prior question about the solid orange and green lights on the two ethernet ports if you could?

    Question My wife has a faster LAN connection than me ?

    You know, I think I actually have 300 and not 1g lol — I'm a mess, I'm sorry.

    Question My wife has a faster LAN connection than me ?

    Ok so I changed out my cable. In the back on the ethernet port I still see blinking green and solid orange on the one port, blinking orange and solid green on the other (bottom) ethernet port. Running a speed test, they looked identical. How/Why? If the one is a 100Mibt link solid orange and the...

    Question My wife has a faster LAN connection than me ?

    No issues for a 1gig connection but if I upgrade in the future wouldn't this be somewhat limiting?
