regal atlas
#

oh k

regal atlas
gusty fox
#

1gb support I believe on the A520m-K

#

Let me see if it specifics if itā€™s 2.4, 5, or both

#

Canā€™t see it on the mobos page itself lol

regal atlas
#

alr

gusty fox
#

It just specifies under its LAN that itā€™s an RTL8111H

regal atlas
#

so

#

is it 5ghz

#

ethernet port

#

or

gusty fox
#

Thatā€™s what I am eagerly trying to find for you lol

regal atlas
#

alr lol

gusty fox
#

Looks like the 2.4/5 stuff is mainly for WiFi

#

Ethernet is more dependant on using a cable that can support the speeds youā€™re looking at achieve

#

What speeds are on your plan currently?

regal atlas
#

so its both 2.4ghz and 5 ghz

#

on ethernet

gusty fox
#

It supports pretty much anything. You just need to use the right Ethernet cable that will allow your full internet speed to come through

regal atlas
#

i have a cat 5 e

#

i use a cat5-e

gusty fox
#

I believe 5e can support gig lines

bright elbow
#

No

gusty fox
#

No!

bright elbow
#

Because Ghz is Wfi and nothing to do with ethernet

gusty fox
#

Yeah thatā€™s what we are saying

#

Ethernet is about the cabling not the ghz

regal atlas
#

so is my ethernet port fast enough to play fortnite on 0 ping

gusty fox
#

5e should support your max speeds, FYsE

regal atlas
#

with a cat 5e cable

gusty fox
#

0 ping.. I mean good luck lolol

regal atlas
#

atleast creative tho

gusty fox
#

I have 550/70 with Ethernet and I get 6 ping

#

Youā€™ll be absolutely fine with your internet using the Ethernet port

regal atlas
#

so then how fast is my ethernet port

bold storm
#

Upto 1gig

regal atlas
#

is tht gd

misty hare
#

if you have gigabit internet

bold storm
#

Yep, your ping should be fine but upload and download speeds will depend on your internet provider

regal atlas
#

i have the awar winning talktalk wfi route

#

r

misty hare
#

alright

bold storm
#

It depends on your plan

regal atlas
#

now tht idk

bold storm
#

But ultimately, having a wired connection means that your ping should be more stable than over wifi

regal atlas
#

ok now since i have a bad wifi extender

#

with my ping goes to lag 200

#

with stuters

#

can you recommend me a good cheap wifi extender

misty hare
#

it's always best, if possible to be hard-wired to the router directly via ethernet

regal atlas
#

i cant do thaty

misty hare
#

Powerline adapters? Not the best but an option

bold storm
#

You could use a powerline adapter

regal atlas
#

i can do tht

#

but

bold storm
#

Super easy to use. And gives a wired connection

regal atlas
#

ok can you recommend me the best cheap gaming powerline adapter and extender

formal muskBOT
#

cprgbglitch :tada: Congrats @regal atlas, you levelled up to 3! :tada: cprgbglitch

misty hare
regal atlas
#

tht expensive

#

ok wait

bold storm
#

Ā£34 for one of those is pretty good

misty hare
#

Especially the gigabit ones

regal atlas
#

this is 20 pounds

#

is this good?

bold storm
#

Could go with a ā€œslowerā€ speed because its hard to know what their speeds are

misty hare
#

I... I probably wouldn't touch that router in my opinion

regal atlas
#

why

bold storm
#

Think my powerline adapter was a TP-LINK AV600

misty hare
#

I think your talktalk router would be better, if not the same as that

regal atlas
bold storm
#

An extender is normally something that sits halfway between your router, and where your setup is

regal atlas
#

my friend friends ahas this

misty hare
#

That isn't an extender, that's a router

regal atlas
#

and he recommened me this one

bold storm
#

To boost your connection

#

It has to be close enough to the router to get a good connection, for it to then re-broadcast that connection closer to your pc

misty hare
#

Maybe something like that,

regal atlas
#

i have this one

#

ill show you wait

misty hare
#

Honestly for computers, I recommend purchasing a powerline adapter if you cannot hard-wire straight to the router

#

WIFI can be a bit sketchy

bold storm
#

As an example, my room where my pc is, is a deadzone

#

Hence why i went wired for pc

#

Ans then my old powerline adapter also acts a ā€œsecondā€ router

misty hare
#

and powerline uses exisiting power cabling within your house to transmit the connection

bold storm
#

As i can connect to it via phone etc

regal atlas
#

wait so y cant i use the tenda wifi router

#

how bad is that

bold storm
misty hare
#

I mean you can use it, I just would stick with your talktalk one,

misty hare
bold storm
#

I was getting around 80mbps with my powerline adapter

#

When my speeds were upto 900/900

misty hare
#

I just have like a 30M flat CAT6 going from my router to my office, then into a switch which divides up to two setups

regal atlas
#

i wish i can connect ethernet straight to my router

misty hare
#

thankfully I planned it when I first moved in before carpets and everything went down

bold storm
misty hare
gusty fox
#

Powerline Adapters are good

#

Try the AV1000 from TP Link

bold storm
#

Better than wifi

regal atlas
#

since i have a tp link

gusty fox
#

Thatā€™s what I use

regal atlas
#

i dont trust tp link any more

misty hare
#

Why?

regal atlas
#

cause my tp link extender is so baddddd

misty hare
#

I mean, where is it

gusty fox
#

TP link are the go to for internet stuff more than often

bold storm
#

Where is your extender plugged in?

regal atlas
#

right next to my pc

bold storm
#

Thats why

misty hare
#

Your extender may be bad because it's too far away from the router

#

that's the issue

bold storm
#

It needs to be close enough to your router, and pc

gusty fox
#

The powerline adapter will be fine next to your pc tho

bold storm
#

A ā€œhalf way pointā€

regal atlas
#

my pc dont even have wirless wifi

misty hare
#

šŸ’€

gusty fox
#

Well then

#

Ethernet defo your best option

regal atlas
#

yh

bold storm
#

Honestly a powerline adapter would be your best bet

regal atlas
#

ok

misty hare
#

If you're wanting a slightly cheaper one,

gusty fox
misty hare
#

but I recommend the Ā£34 one

regal atlas
#

but what if i cant afford that

gusty fox
#

Then Iā€™d save for one

misty hare
#

save up? It'll be your best bet

#

instead of wasting money on a new router,

bold storm
#

Either way, the router you suggested will likely do nothing

gusty fox
#

ISP provided routers are absolutely fine and capable of the speeds you pay for

regal atlas
#

its a gaming

misty hare
#

probably

bold storm
#

Plan?

misty hare
#

unless you get starlink

gusty fox
#

You would use your current service via that router instead

#

But I donā€™t suggest a. New router

#

Nothing is wrong with your current router

regal atlas
#

hmm

bold storm
#

Its just youā€™re too far away for a strong enough connection

regal atlas
#

alr ill think abt it

bold storm
#

Its the same in my house

misty hare
#

There is legit nothing wrong with your router,

#

Just save up for a powerline

#

problem solved

regal atlas
#

alr

#

thanks

misty hare
gusty fox
#

This is how the powerline stuff works btw

misty hare
#

only thing I ever purchased a new router for, was the mesh layout

#

mesh internet or smthin
