Hello all, I've recently picked up a new Wifi 6E & Wifi7 capable router to assist with my Quest 3 performance as it supports 6E. Currently I run the original Wifi 6 single router which feeds an unmanaged 5 port switch in the main area of the house. What I would like to do is use my current Wifi6 router in place of the unmanaged switch while also using it as an Access point for devices that are closer to that area. Realistically these two routers will only be a a room or two apart from each other but the second router will be far closer to my security camera. To land the plane here and get to the point is there really any benefit in doing so? Is it as simple as just plugging the current cable from my main router into the wan port on the second router? I'd like to keep my security cameras as if they couldn't see my main network but from my understanding the second router can still communicate with the traffic on the main router? I've created a rough chart below as a reference point... Thanks for the help as always!

I was looking at Bosch also but ended up with Centrics due to the slightly cheaper price and the supposed reputation I've read for them on multiple forums. I didn't go with their budget non coated "c-tek" line which is apparently generic but ok in a pinch. They are a large manufacturer for multiple brands apparently so for $68 each I'll see how they do. I was going to go with Z1 Motorsports (as many people do with Z's and G's) but they only offered it with slotted, or slotted & drilled.

If I buy Intel again I'll probably disable the E-cores and go for the highest clocked 8c16t system I can get.. hopefully that will keep the consumption reasonablish...

Parts will be arriving soon to finally figure out some brake noise and vibrations.. Centric Semi-Coated Rotors for the front (blanks, no slotted or drilled nonsense) StopTech Sport front pads (had these but finally putting them in since I'll have new rotors) RAYBESTOS EHT905H Element3 Hybrid Technology rear pads and doing a fluid flush with BOSCH ESI6 which apparently exceeds 5.1 DOT spec so it should last a while without needing replacement

You sound like me when I had a 4790k. Ended up waiting six generations to upgrade. My 11900k is going to have to hold me over for a bit as my 6900XT is the bottleneck for me in 99% of things I do at this point. The 7800X3D is extremely tempting though, especially with it's lower power use. I'd like to keep my system usable with a 700w psu as a computer nearing 1,000w is silly to me for gaming... Guess I'm getting old because power was never a limiting factor to me in the past. As far as purchases go... I'm getting all fancy these days...

My car would be absolutely immaculate if I didn't have to do with the Florida sun, let alone the humidity on top of it. There is nothing, and I mean nothing, that instantly ignites anger and impatience as much as swamp ass. You can shower three times a day but 15 minutes out in what feels like an alien planet and it returns.

Unfortunately it's perfectly legal and very common. That said, we have been here 9 years now and have a fair landlord all things considered. They do not give us a hard time and we are also paying hundreds less per month for rent compared to the market rate. Ha, I wish my mailbox story was a bit more entertaining but it is what it is. Reolink is a name I've heard of many times and it looks like they have two wifi based cameras that may fit the bill (one being 2k, the other being 4k) - thanks. I will be running direct power to it and it will suck if I lose power but the Arlo will still be in place with it's built in battery to hopefully cover anything in the interim. I've researched this a bit in the past and Blue Iris always popped up. My home network is using consumer level hardware (basic modem from isp and netgear router) so I won't be able to setup a separate vlan. Are these systems so vulnerable still at this point? My potential plan as it stands is to have a wifi camera connected to the network which records to a PC that I can host Blue Iris on. The pc will be overkill for it (i9 10900 / 64gb ddr4 3600) so I may see if I can set Blue Iris up in a VM.

Thanks for the idea but unfortunately the Arlo system is by design set to timeout during extended live viewing (20 minutes or so?) and I can't do a thing about it. Besides, if I access it from another device it will log off anyone watching it elsewhere. I am tempted to do the trail camera thing and attach it to a tree in the front lawn but the problem is my street is extremely busy so the battery would be dead very fast. I do know a few guys at a local security business I've been on many jobsites with over the years, perhaps I'll run it by them, thanks. Unfortunately due to my lease agreement (we go through a large management company) anything under $100 (which our current mailbox definitely cost less than that) is our problem. Not going to fight them over it as when they told me that I decided that I'm not replacing it and will leave in place the repairs I made on the current one. I took a 5lb mini sledge to reshape some metal and it's now affixed with zip ties in a way not noticeable unless you look for them. To be fair it's probably stronger than it was when new. I slapped a fresh coat of spray paint on it and called it a day.

But the smell is perfection

Officially over, good job all

Hello all, So despite paying a ridiculous amount for Arlo cameras they have failed me yet again in detecting anything useful. For my front I have an Arlo Pro 3 Floodlight set to best quality and maximum motion sensitivity yet it somehow missed a vehicle smashing into my mailbox and sending the top of said mailbox flying which thankfully barely missed my car (it landed a foot away). That said, it seems like the majority of security companies these days are also deploying similar systems such as nest, ring, arlo, etc. I rent a home and cannot install a traditional wired CVR/DVR. I am looking to see if any of you have personal experience with a wireless camera CVR / DVR system that is reasonably priced? I will keep the Arlo systems for network based viewing as needed but want something that quite simply will not miss anything. CVR for my Arlo camera apparently will not work, either. In fact do yourself a favor and don't bother with Arlo at all. THANKS FOR ANY HELP AS ALWAYS!

Umarex Octane bought cheap off a coworker. Only .177 Caliber but I had tons of pellets already and it's only going to be used for basic target practice and very, very small game hunting should the apocalypse happen. 1400fps break barrel but with the heavier pellets it's probably closer to 1000-1100fps.

Big BF guy here too, been playing since BF1942. Aside from being a C4 Jeep guy (sorry, it's irresistible) I'm more of an infantry player and much like you, 5-1 ratio is hardly abnormal. Play BF2042 still since I'm a masochist for BF games but it's pretty good now. Forza games are usually pretty easy for me too, but the problem is when competing online the majority of people use assists (auto braking, line showing where to brake, speed, traction control, etc.) which completely ruin the fun and put me at a major disadvantage. That said, winning is that much more rewarding.

A rainy day full of people angering me leads to the below

GN is one of the only tech channels that does actual journalism... as usual. I haven't dedicated the time to watch any of these yet but I've kept up otherwise. Aside from an AIO (yes, one) I've not been a watercooling guy but EK was always the "go to" brand a newbie to it like me heard so it's quite interesting to see how the mighty have fallen.

Thanks for the heads up

Never had a bike and still want one. Though I'd probably end up dead on one with the idiots that drive around here (especially with the random can't see a foot in front of you downpours).... and if that doesn't get my adrenaline junkie habits will. That said, I'd really like to have a dual purpose bike so I can take it off and on road as needed.

Less than 2 days, don't forget gents

Fine let me be the guy with questionable life choices ruining the thread

In, SoloCamo

Let's just say I'm loving these new tires How it started and how it went... All that underglow on that 6th Gen V6 Camaro wasn't saving him and that 370Z (with some exhaust work) is basically a 400-500lb lighter version of my car. Took a while for the Z to catch but he was catching up as he should be with the weight difference. I will say Mexico is nice this time of year though.

To follow up, PSI was at 35 which is what I typically run in this car on the rears. I'll judge the perceived sidewall flex more when I have a matching set up front. I did a hard launch from a dig and this thing hasn't hooked like this in a long time. Did a u turn at a speed where the back end normally would break loose and it bit it so much more than expected that I almost slid out of my seat. For a $20 difference per tire I'm sold... so far.

Just got the rears done on mine today. I concur, my General G-MAX AS-05's were pretty comfy especially with my tire size of 225/55/17 having plenty of sidewall but these are clearly superior. Once the front's are swapped it will definitely be a better ride. That said, I've got to check the PSI they put in, as they seem to flex quite a bit more on turns which is not what I expected, at all. Grip is more than restored though and that's with less than 50 miles so it will only improve for a bit from here. Only down side is that the G-MAX tires just looked better on the car compared to these but that doesn't matter when the tire that looks 'worse' (subjectively) performs better anyways.

Look at this guy with his fancy garage not entirely full of junk because your house has no storage space... I wish I could wash the car in the garage... let alone keep the car in the garage. Florida's sun doesn't play and my clearcoat is failing fast.
