    TP-LINK gear - Anyone tried it?

    I'm seeing a lot of TP-LINK branded networking gear at decent prices.

    Not familiar with the brand.

    Anyone ever tried their stuff?

    I have seen alot of them here too. I am not too familiar with their products, however what exactly are you interested in? If you are interested in NIC's, take note of the chipset that it uses and find out any issues with it. I suggest you run away from any Texas Instruments NIC chipsets.

      The NIC's in the servers are Intel gigabit.
      Setting up an LTS for 9 users.
      Right now I'm looking for gigabit routers for the first ones off the servers.
      The rest of the LAN can stay 10/100 for a while and that gear preexists.

        I love Intel based NIC's. I have never had any sort of issue with any of them!

        However with respect to routers, even knowing the chipset is not going to help you too much. There have been many instances of dodgy as well as great routers sharing the same chipset. I guess it comes down to the manufacturers implementation of the chipset and how buggy their firmware is.

        Unfortunately I have no idea how good TP-LINK routers are. Have you dug up any real information about them on the net?

          I haven't seen much on them that's why I asked here.

          I think if there were big problems they'd show up on the web.
          But maybe they just haven't been around long enough. . ??

            Problem with the Logitech G27 gaming steering wheel gear lever
            by render1967
            Hello! First, please excuse me if my English is not good enough because it is not my native language!
            Now let me describe my specific problem. For two days, the gear lever on my Logitech G27 has shown the following defect. When switching in the game (for example ETS2) it often does not detect 1st, 3rd and 5th gear - in these positions it shows neutral or flashes between the specific gear and neutral (for example - 1st <> neutral). When I press the gear lever to the left or right while it is in a position, it still manages to guess the gear and engage. In addition, instead of rear...

            FH7 Sony cass deck service manual & gear required.
            by zen
            Hi all

            This deck keeps jamming.

            Took a chance & ordered an upgraded FF cam gear, plus slider sold on Ebay, as I thought it might be a common cause of issues being that it was sold a repair kit.

            Well, that's what I get for making assumptions.

            Stripped down & discovered a large black intermediate gear with worn teeth.

            Can anyone help to source it?

            somebody familiar with hasboard repairs? BM1397AD interchangeable with Bm1397AG ? S17+ and T17+
            by stormanimal83
            i got myself a complete Antminer T17+ with 3 dead hasboards for a very good price.... for parts i bought S17PRO boards.... i replaced all missing resistors and changed some asics because they were bad... but wihout a tester... i used the miner instead and changed firmware to awesome miner firmware for better and faster diagnoses via miner log and lower fan speed...

            for my understanding and what i read on the internet these asics should be interchangeable in one chain but in my case i´m getting no more communication to none of the asics on all 3 boards. 2 of the boards weren´t in...

            Game Gear Power Supply 2110K No Output Voltage for 1 pin
            by AhhAhhAhh
            Hi all,

            I'm working on reviving a Game Gear Power Supply that has some issues with the voltage output for one of the pins. The power supply should provide the correct voltages for each pin (please see attached photo) and I could not get 34V for the last pin. In fact, I got like 0.4 to 0 volts when measured with a multimeter when it powers on.

            What I did so far was to change the 3 electrolytic capacitors and have also tested using an ESR meter and all 3 capacitors are fine. Next I checkED for any shorts and I discovered that both solder joints (+) and (-) for one capacitor...
