I should probably note that I don't get to select custom install etc, it bypasses the first 3 steps and goes straight to intall, installer failed when I launch setup.exe

So I'm getting this error message when trying to install the nvidia drivers on a new build machine, with a Gigabyte GeForce 960 So far I've tried GeForce experience which just confused the problem, so I ripped that, and I just tried this...

A crucial thing to remember is, you asked for something that is future proof. The future is not predictable Just something to keep in mind

As I already said, you can get 1.3Gbps from a Wireless 802.11ac connection. I even gave you a link to an access point with this capacity. The device which comes with Google Fiber can support 300Mbps, why you'd need any higher on a wireless connection is beyond me. That's a 720p film in 19...

I'm impressed to see them on the market already. It was only 9 months ago that Xirrus were trying to sell me their new super-cool 802.11ac access points with 8 radios in each. Now for £60 I can get 3 radios and a 4 port switch. Impressive

Google Fibre offers 1000Mbps, that's 1Gbps, not GB/s Here's a consumer grade device supporting that: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/D-Link-DIR-850L-Wireless-router-4-port-switch-Gigabit-LAN-802-11ac-draft-/131157552129?pt=UK_Computing_Wireless_Routers&hash=item1e89996c01 Pretty cheap too

Google Cloud Print is probably the best way here. Yes, you could make your printer public. No, it's probably not a good idea. Would be hard to filter your traffic from anyone else's, so someone could waste a whole lot of your hard earned cash in ink costs...

We can't tell. Remember all traffic goes through your router to connect to the WAN. Your router decided what to do with it. Run a traceroute to your WAN IP (from the command line, don't use a web tool, that'll give false results) and give us the results, we should be able to help then. It...

802.11N and below - No, 802.11ac - yes The real question is, does any of your equipment support ac? Chances are SLIM. VERY. 801.11n supports up to 300Mbps with 3 antennas. In 802.11ac, you can get up to 1.3Gb/s wirelessly, but note that this is shared. Also, be careful, google offers 1Gb/s...

Hoping to run phone+ethernet on same, yep. 4 wires *should* be enough for 100Mbps, 100-base-t only doesn't use blue+brown pairs (following standard, anyways) Cable is ScTP.

hmm, thanks for your help, much obliged, Really confused here. I'll try switching out the green-white for brown-white in the morning. I've been working on site for 10 hours, that doesn't happen often :p

Potentially. You need to use primer, and great quality metal paint I'd just generally avoid it, unless you are not too worried about replacing your mobo in a year or two.
