    A hidden bottleneck

    In a Kogan KAWRTACBLKA Wireless-AC router, despite the wired LAN ports supporting Gigabit capability (RTL8367 Gigabit switch), I found that the RTL8197D Ethernet Router Network Processor has no Gigabit support on the wired LAN ports, only Fast Ethernet support - because of this bottleneck, you would not get the full benefit of simultaneous dual-band operation.
    This is a hidden catch for buyers of low-cost Wireless-AC networking equipment.
    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.

      Why does my ISP router hate my "homemade" power supply??
      by double_DD
      Hi all,

      It's gonna be a long intro, so please buckle in, as it's a problem that's been bugging me for several days now. Thanks in advance.

      So, I have 2 modems/routers, whatever the proper nomenclature is, one from ISP and one mine. I want to power them via USB-C rather then their original mains adapters (for reasons, that are hard to explain to sane people). Both routers come with 12V/3A mains adapters.
      For this purpose I acquired USB-C charger with 250W and 5 ports, 2 of which can supply max 20V/3A. Since 12V isn't a standard PD voltage option (and to future proof,...

      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.​

      Asus ROG Ally X -RC72LA - changed hidden bios settings with 'Smokeless-UMAF', won't get past boot logo
      by throwaway327
      ASUS ROG Ally X - (Handheld Gaming PC)
      Model No: RC72LA
      Serial No: SBNVKD001014459

      Hi all, I've spent the past week digging through the forums and guides to try correct my foolish mistake of changing hidden settings while tinkering around, and to be honest my heads overloaded so I'm hoping you'll be able to help.

      I used a tool called 'Smokeless-UMAF' to access usually hidden settings in the bios. I tweaked one or two 'safe' things but made the mistake of tweaking a lot of settings under 'USB/Thunderbolt Configurations' when I didn't know what they did. For...
