    Type of Wireless-N (150 or 300) not specified in notebook advertising

    In a recene JB Hi-Fi catalog, all of the notebooks in it (excpept one which was not specified) had Wireless-N support (it would become standard issue considering that the 802.11N standard has been ratified), but they did not specify the type of Wireless-N (150 or 300), because not all Wireless-N clients and access points support 300 Mbit.
    From what I have read, all Intel wireless clients which support 802.11N supports 300 Mbit; so if an Intel wireless client is included in the notebook, it would support 300 Mbit.

    Do you think advertising of notebooks with internal Wireless-N clients should indicate the speed of the client (150 or 300)? I think so.

    Also, do you know of any internal Wireless-N (Mini-PCI or Mini-PCI Express) clients for notebooks which only support 150 Mbit?
    My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

          Hardware firewall to block ad servers?
          by Hondaman
          I found an interesting summary on a wiki that Youtube "right to repair" enthusiast Louis Rossman put up. He suggested I could use a hardware firewall and pfSense as a firewall, and use pfSenseNG as an ad blocker. Or use OPNSense as a similar alternative. Seems like it would be easy to set up, but it only runs on the hardware supported by BSD. (I'm sure the developers and maintainers of BSD are super-busy and cannot support every single piece of hardware out there, so I can't fault them.)

          The trick, apparently, is to "assign IP address lists from sites like I-blocklist...

          Maximum speed should be marked on network ports
          by japlytic
          I noted that a number of consumer entertainment devices have the maximum speed marked on the wired network port and considering that there are broadband plans faster than 100 Mbit, the wired network port can be a bottleneck since some routers do not have Gigabit (only 100 Mbit) support for the WAN port let alone the wired network ports.

          One other thing: Certain low cost network cables only have two pairs which limits speed to 100 Mbit.​

          HP T740 thin client BIOS dump?
          by Greg_E
          I bought a bunch of HP T740 thin clients cheap because the BIOS was locked, I figured I could unlock them, but looks like I need a little help. I looked over both sides of the board, and the only chip that might be what I need is locked in a socket, a Winbond 25x128. I did not find another chip that looked like it could be a password eeprom like some other HP devices (Elite Desk 600 g6 which I was able to fix).

          So lacking the pins I need to adapt my EZP2019, I tried the Windows BIOS installer and the copy to fix other computers option. It did give me a 16MB .bin file. When I dropped...

          Asus ROG GL553V shutting down before Windows
          by szepesif
          Hey guys!

          This is the third laptop here with this exact same issue and the forum threads and YouTube comments are also filled with this problem so I would like to figure out once and for all what's causing it and how to fix it because this model will keep coming to me to repair.

          Symptom: The laptop turns on and works fine UNTIL the Windows starts loading, then it shuts down. I can start it again but the same thing happens over and over again so I can't get into Windows. BUT I can enter the BIOS and it stays there forever without shutting down. The same applies if I remove...
