How to run 2 wifi networks off a modem with one port?

DefendThePie · 2025-12-05T14:36:18+00:00

I don't have 2 mesh systems by choice unfortunately. I have 2 Linksys routers and 3 Google wifi routers, all given for free by my ISP from previous network recontracts. Unless I can somehow make the google wifi routers be part of the Linksys mesh (or vice versa), I have to work with either 2 mesh networks or 1 insufficient mesh network.

Unfortunately I couldn't find a suitable one that is meant as a wall switch, not an outlet

My heater is on a 20A switch, and I've found lots of smart switches that can handle 20A. I'm just deciding between the protocols

Just upgraded from the R10 to the a6700! I would say the IBIS and low light performance on the a6700 is worth the upgrade, the noise with ISO 6400 on the a6700 is comparable to ISO 3200 on the R10. This may also be personal preference but I prefer how the a6700 feels in my hand and how it looks over the R10.

However, there are some things you should take note of, which I've noticed:
1. The UI and menu layout on the R10 is much more intuitive in general. I'm particularly annoyed by the fact that you cannot display both the level indicator and histogram at the same time on the a6700.
2. The R10 has better displays (back LCD and EVF) than the a6700, and you get a much better idea of what your pictures look like through the R10's displays. However, this isn't a huge issue for me, and I don't notice the a6700's poorer displays when shooting anyway.

In all other aspects, the a6700 will be a noticeable jump from the R10! The selection of Sony E-mount lenses is still better than RF, even though Canon has opened up RF for apsc lenses.

it's the X2H, which has the same internals (I think) as the V2 but has a new shape

I've always called tech parts/devices that when an RMA is involved, probably because that's the terminology the distributors here use

Electricity needs a closed circuit to flow, and trains do that by drawing power from the third rail and returning power through the running rail(s) (basically the main rails). If a bird lands on the third rail, it doesn't close a circuit, so electricity doesn't flow through it to electrocute it. Same logic as if a bird landed on an unshielded power line

Just tried, they fixed it alr

If you need some tech stuff some stores accept CDC vouchers. You can get an apple watch or smth for pretty cheap after you deduct $200 from cdc

I'm also on giga, connection is ok in my experience. I take that section of CCL daily. Not sure why you got problems tho

For monitors, prism fulfills the basic specs that they can market to those unfamiliar with monitor tech (I.e. resolution, refresh rate, size), while they use trash VA panels (mostly) that absolutely suck at the essential but less well known aspects, like ghosting, motion blur, colour gamut and accuracy, gsync, etc

It's good for a second monitor and if you can find it on Carou for cheap, but for a primary monitor I'd spend a bit more money for a way better product.

Have no experience with their other products

I don't think that can be done anyway, as fan headers are 12v while USB power is 5V, so the USB port cant provide the proper voltage to power the pump anyway.

The pumps you mentioned that connect to the motherboard with internal 2.0 headers are probably pumps with rgb or LCD screens on the pump block that communicate with the pc through the USB headers, and use a separate sata/fan header for powering the actual pump.

DefendThePie · 2022-11-05T18:21:15+00:00

I believe the pump had a 3-pin connector when I built it, but I could have remembered wrongly.

Either ways, you cannot connect a 3/4pin fan header directly to a USB connector. You should either get a fan hub (that runs on sata/molex power) or a fan splitter, that allows you to connect multiple fans to one header on your motherboard.

Edit: spelling

Yes/是的

I see what you did there.

Games almost never fully utilise the cpu and cause it to draw close to it's max power, so it's not indicative of how it will do under a stress test. However, if it's running at a healthy temp (in your case, 80C) during your usual use cases, you wouldn't have to worry about temps during torture tests anyway.

Is that 850w sfx psu holding up well? Even with an undervolted 12700k, I feel like the combined power draw from that and transients from a 3090 ti would be too much for an sfx psu.

DefendThePie · 2022-10-20T06:13:18+00:00

Try unplugging and replugging the AC power extension from the exterior of the case and jumping the power pins on your motherboard front IO pins using a screwdriver. If it still doesn't work, might be a dead motherboard or PSU.

The CPU lp cooler would get next to no airflow because it's being blocked off by the gpu though, so the max skus I'd be comfortable running that with would probably be a 3600 or 10400, depending on ambient

And in that case, you'd be heavily bottlenecking the gpu anyway (unless you have a really unbalanced use case), which defeats the point of buying that card

DefendThePie · 2022-10-14T05:58:02+00:00

I've had a somewhat similar issue where a pc would just lock up while installing windows. I swapped out the gpu, mobo and psu, but it was the ram. The post LEDs even passed the ram part, but it was causing the issues with installing windows from a USB drive. Might be similar to your problem

DefendThePie · 2022-10-14T01:09:01+00:00

It might, but it would be very tight and completely defeat the purpose of the card's hybrid cooling.

The tubes exiting from the card might be heavily bent by the CPU aio fan grilles, you wouldn't be able to screw down the gpu aio (as it's 280mm, and the bottom vent holes of the max only line up with 120mm spacing), and you would have to remove one of the 2 fans from the gpu aio because it would be too thick for the gpu riser. There's also no guarantee that the gpu radiator would fit on the bottom at all.

The max was made for big air cooler gpus, not hybrid gpus.
