kralster Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 i have a netgear wireless router. And i am less then impressed with it's performance. It stay connected to the network constantly but the internet will always be dropping out. And then you have to disconnect and reconnect my wireless network card. It's a pain in the arse. i've constantly got to be sending or recieving internet data otherwise it will just drop out. Not happy considering how much i payed for it. but the funny thing is i use it with my 360 and i have the wireless adaptor and it works fine all the time. I've got latest firmware on both the router and network card. bah Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/108819-computer-jargon/page/56/#findComment-3126993 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pauly33GTS-t Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 How about this, wireless is shit, so dont even bother, pay 80 bucks and get a line fitted, disable the Wireless on ur router and just use it as a normal router, use ionizers on the cables to stop the power conflicting with the data so it doesnt cause dropouts. These routers and switches arent magic they can still fail easily, any brand.

I've found with wireless its a bit of luck when it comes to interference and hardware combinations.

Cubes Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Just try another router, it may work better with your hardware combination.. Can get expensive doing so though. Head over to whingepool and see if any one else is running a similiar hardware and what router they are using. http://www.whirlpool.net.au/ Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/108819-computer-jargon/page/56/#findComment-3131942 Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Acer have about a 90% failure rate with dead pixels). probably better of using a specific program for dead pixel testing (like nokia monitor test) rather than paint. soz, bit agro, having a bad day =( Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/108819-computer-jargon/page/56/#findComment-3156859 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bl4cK32 Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Unless its got a few which are noticable i wouldnt bother looking unless u have a zero dead pixel warranty like samsung offer.

Acer have a 7 day (or 14 day, forgot which one) 0 dead pixel policy, if you bought it from somewhere that doesnt honnor that, meh, can only blame yourself almost all brand have some form of 0 dead pixel policy, just most people dont bother to check/dont know how to check properly Edited June 2, 2007 by Fishpaste~ Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/108819-computer-jargon/page/56/#findComment-3156878 Share on other sites More sharing options...
