    [SOLVED] A mid-range router option

When it comes to mid-rangers, there isn't much info about them on the internet, rather then "it performs well...

    [SOLVED] Stepping code

    I believe I get it now. I read in a few places that it just represents the purity of the materials used in making the core. Now I see that's not completely true. Unfortunately I still don't know which one of these revisions is the newest. I'm assuming it's the last one, but I can't find any...

    [SOLVED] Stepping code

    What exactly is a stepping code? I've found different information about this and I'm not quite sure what it's suppose to present... I'm looking to upgrade my old PC with a newer version of CPU and the once I've found has different stepping codes. Does that affect the CPU somehow and which one...

    [SOLVED] A worthy upgrade?

The AC1200G+ works just fine with moderate range in my apartment, but the MU-MIMO feature on AC58U V2 is quite tempting; especially considering that I sometimes have around 10 connected guests. Is it an...

    [SOLVED] A new wifi card

    The wifi card in my ASUS X555LN laptop has started to act funny. When I install the latest driver for it, the connection drops frequently, but when I roll back to an older driver the system crashes. Because of all this, I've started looking for a replacement card, but have not found any...

    [SOLVED] Excess thermal paste

    It's in contact with the paste that's on the chip. It won't spread the heat to the rest of the card?

    [SOLVED] Excess thermal paste

    I have accidentally left a small (thread-like) amount of thermal paste next to the gpu chip. I was applying the paste and some of it was left on top of the syringe, so it fell next to the gpu chip when I raised my hand. Will it cause any (heating) issues if I just leave it there? The paste in...
