SG Broadband Community

It's been fun for sure. As far as the forums are concerned, I was just the custodian/janitor, it's all the regulars who made them.. "interesting"

For the RAM: I like G.Skill, but I always prefer the 1.20-1.25v modules rather than 1.35v. The lower voltage variants don't run as hot, and I think are better quality chips. They're usually very similarly priced. CPU: You're getting about 22k CPUMark score, it's a good processor for a budget build, ...

Interesting... Thanks for sharing, this is a short run cable, I probably wouldn't have suspected it either.

It's that time of the year again... SG has been online for 25 years as of today. It's been a wild ride, thanks to all those that have been around for years, helping others and being part of the SG community!

I guess it's easier than remembering passwords, other than that there is no "need" to switch. I will eventually use them when they become popular across sites I visit I suppose.

Strange that the Cisco prep wasn't thorough enough. Important thing is that you are learning what you need to do better for next time, you will pass it once you put enough time in it I am sure.

Thanks for the feedback, will verify this and add it. The database was started with a few source databases, and it has been updated manually for years. There is a person that researches and adds ports info weekly. We also update based on feedback from users, mainly from the comments section on port ...

Meh, just some numbers

Happy Birthday and all the best!

I see, I can understand the personal growth "mind over matter" tack

I find it useful to use spreadsheets, write notes in Notepad, etc. Sometimes there is little benefit of being squared into some third-party software that only partly serves your needs.

Whoa congrats!

Hope it gives you an appropriate salary bump, heh.

Why would you quit coffee? I can understand if you have hypertension or something, but I thought in moderation caffeine is not bad for your health.

I think it is under WAN > DDNS

Then you may have to change the settings in your app, and maybe enable remote/WAN access to the router. You can test if it works by disabling Wi-Fi on your phone, and see if it can connect using your cell service.

I haven't played with it much... But, in general, if you want the app and/or "cloud storage" from a plugged-in USB drive available from other locations, you have to use dynamic host-to-IP address mapping, and use that hostname to connect to your router. Asus has a service like that, just l...

Happy Birthday Humby!

I like to keep my browser addons and anti-virus light on resources, Ublock origin is good enough for me to block annoying ads. As far as more "advanced" browser protections, I tried a few long time ago, but they seemed to slow down browsing, and were heavy on resources, I did not like them.

Maybe your router, or another device/node near you is limiting the total amount of memory allocated for you, split between your buffers.

Happy Birthday!

That's the only way to control the TCP Window "buffer" under Windows 10/11. I wouldn't worry about it much. Reducing the TCP Window would only reduce throughput if the node is overloaded and you are transferring large amounts of data at the same time. In an unlikely situation like that, it...

As I said before, if you want to reduce your buffers, you can change "TCP Window Auto tuning" to restricted. I wouldn't recommend it though, as it limits your throughput, and doesn't usually help latency.

Welcome Maks :) I don't worry about that bufferbloat score much, it is not necessarily a problem. It would only reduce your speeds in the presence of packet loss. The "buffer" it refers to is the TCP Window, which is automatically controlled in Windows 10/11. Having large TCP Window allows...

How to mark spam on the mail server side? Please show me. I hope this is not a spam post... (well, it turned to be as spammer, modified signature to a spam link :( ) Depends on the mail server.. But I would look into ASSP (Anti-Spam Relay Proxy). You can run it on both Linux or Windows, it can look...

Thanks for sharing this info.

Just curious, before reinstalling, did you try resetting Winsock and TCP/IP from the "File" menu in the Optimizer?

You should not see any speed difference if you downgrade. If you're only getting 5-8 mbps on your wireless, you can ugprade your Wi-Fi router, or try to compare what the speed is over a wired ethernet connection. The difference between megabits per second and Megabytes per second is close to 10:1......

Yeah they do, it's the first column here: https://www.malwarebytes.com/mwb-download
Direct link is: https://www.malwarebytes.com/api/downlo ... up-4.4.exe

You're right, it seems they changed the wording from Antimalware to "Total Desktop Protection", including anti-virus... Haven't tried it.

I just download one of the latest versions and go through all the settings to turn off memory-resident stuff, it's a bit of a pain. I don't like the newer interface either, but it's free and does the job.

Hello, It depends on the Operating system. In Windows 10/11, it only changes the optimal TCP Window Auto-Tuning algorithm for slow connections, i.e. dial-up, and up to ~1 Mbps. In older versions of Windows, it progressively changes the amount of allocated memory for the TCP Window. I hope this helps.

The_Doctor, thanks for the log, will look through that. Yeah, the OS identification is a bit outdated, shouldn't affect functionality.

Hi MadMackz, welcome to SG. Settings look good, especially if you got a decent boost out of it

Most likely.
You can try to read the settings in PowerShell manually and see what shows up, they're documented here: https://www.speedguide.net/articles/win ... weaks-5077

Hi Burke! :) I am not sure what your exact problem is from the screenshot, maybe try to get a tech on site to troubleshoot? A high number of "corrected" errors on the OFDM PLC channel is kind of normal, it's a very wide channel passing a lot of data. How is your upstream power? https://www...

I did make the "KiB..." changes as suggested. adding Petabytes and Exabytes may be a added in the future, it's a bit out of the scope of retail home users.

I am not aware of one that would fit your needs, I use Excel quite a bit for similar tasks as well.

Can I have some of the good shtuff MD is smokin' please?

Nice! Glad it worked ok

I usually use a "Wifi Analyzer" app on my phone to see what other networks are in the area before picking an uncongested channel. In general, 2.4GHz channels overlap by 3 in either direction, so the only completely non-overlapping channels in the same area would be 1,6,11. Many routers use...

Mice use the same 2.4GHz bands as Wi-Fi, even Bluetooth uses similar frequencies. Depending on the channel, WiFi may be interfering. I would try to reconnect/reset the mouse connection while doing a transfer, it should automatically pick a different less congested channel. Alternatively you can manu...

Very interesting.. I had it turned off on mine for some reason, I will experiment with it.

Some of the settings may not be there, or slightly different between the models. The 20 vs. 40MHz channels - it depends on what your client devices can handle, many can't deal with wider channels. Having older standards supported like 802.11b/g also limits the speed/bandwidth available to all device...
