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

alieware are sooo overpriced but its your money

my mate bought one of there P4 3.6 laptops over a year ago think weighs like 14kg comes with it own backpack cost him 4g had like a 7800gtx or something in it

yeh, but if u have a look at their latest offers (USA) its fairly good prices. I just need sum1 to ship 1 from USA to AUS >_< Buying Alienware form AUS is just ridiculous

OR i just get a dell 9400...

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.

That's funny, it works fine with one device but not another - sounds like a device issue rather than the router. My net connection is rock solid.

I have the same issue with my old Billion 7500g and an older Toshiba Laptop Tecra A3 laptop.

Billion 7300G and its rock solid 100%.

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

i call shanangins. It's just soooo easy having a wirless network. means myself and dad can have our computers on the net at the same time. As well our laptop, my 360, psp, ds without having to run around the house unplugging people and all that.

Just try another router, it may work better with your hardware combination.. Can get expensive doing so though. :teehee:

Head over to whingepool and see if any one else is running a similiar hardware and what router they are using.

had it checked for dead pixels? (as you should do that ASAP)

lol are you implying take it some where to get it checked

plug it in and look @ different colours make a large paint image all one colour easy

How much you pay nick

hell no, sif take it somewhere to get it check out... thats stupid and a waste of money (if you knew anything about me or where i work AT ALL, you would know that we dont advise people to waste money/do stupid things). i ment did the store that sold it to him test it for him/infront of him? (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 =(

Unless its got a few which are noticable i wouldnt bother looking unless u have a zero dead pixel warranty like samsung offer.

Whats the point of running the dead pixel finder to find 1 or 2 that your warranty wont cover? Everyone complains once they know that they are there its all u stare at...

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

wasnt having a go @ you fishpaste

clearly wasnt sure of what you were saying :)

edit

you can also sometimes massage dead pixels and bright pixles to get them working i did this with dads lcd

Edited by Madaz

yeah the store has a "7 day bright dead pixel DOA replacement warranty"

i had 45 minutes to kill before the shop opened and i actually though about your shop fishpaste but couldn't remember the name, walked around the CBD looking at PC store name trying to figure out if any where familiar (and i would look stupid walking into all the PC stores asking for fishpaste :) )

there are also programs that you can get that'll constantly flash threw the cycle of colours (black, white, green, blue and red) for hours or days on end, this can also "free up" dead pixels =)

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
