    Shoud i use netspeed by Ookla or something else

    I use ookla myself with a server near me.

    Can someone explain to me why is my internet slow, and internet calls reconnecting but my speedtest.net shows i have 9 mb/s …. It’s so fake

    When you say “internet calls” what exactly are you talking about……..VoIP, Skype, something else?

    I wouldn’t call the bandwidth test fake. They reasonably accurate but are going to vary a lot with time of day and internet usage as well as load on the server you’re testing to. All of which could be affecting your connectivity.

    How charged with punishments the scroll,

    I am the captain of my soul.

  3. I would disable DHCP on the TP-Link router (assuming you already have your main router dishing out DHCP to network clients).

    I would disable DHCP on the TP-Link router (assuming you already have your main router dishing out DHCP to network clients). I would then configure the LAN side of the router with an IP address in the same subnet as the existing network. Only, you’ll want to use an IP that’s not within the DHCP scope.

    Then, configure your wireless network (WLAN) and use WPA encryption and a complex password for the SSID.

    Finally, connect a LAN port on the TP-Link to a LAN port on the main router and it should work.

    Let’s say your exising router is setup as follows:

    LAN IP: 192.168.0.1
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

    DHCP Enabled = Yes
    DHCP Scope = 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.199
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    Default Gateway = 192.168.0.1
    DNS 192.168.0.1

    On the LAN side of the TP-Link I would assign:
    IP: 192.168.0.10
    SM: 255.255.255.0
    DG: 192.168.0.1
    DNS: 192.168.0.1

    Plug in LAN to LAN from TP-Link to main router and connect a PC to another LAN Port on the TP-Link and test. Does your computer get a proper TCP/IP settings from DHCP? Can it surf the web?

    If yes to both, configure the WLAN.

    If no, you messed something up and you need to reset the TP-Link and go through the setup again.

    For more info on connecting the second router, click on my name above in my response and read my “how-to” guide titled: “Adding a second router to your LAN” You’ll want the “LAN to LAN” scenario as I’ve already said.

    It matters not how straight the gate,

    I am the captain of my soul.

  4. Here's everything. In display depth, you don't have 100-bit. You have 32-bit, 16-bit, 8-bit, etc. Here, you get millions, thousands, 256, and other assortments of colors.

    You have 32-bit, 16-bit, 8-bit, etc. Here, you get millions, thousands, 256, and other assortments of colors.

    If you do have a profile messed up, then it can be easily
    fixed. Go to System Preferences -> Displays -> Color.

    1. Click a setting in the Display Profile list box/pane to your left. That should fix it.
    2. If not, don’t worry. Tap the Calibrate… button and follow your Mac’s instructions. Still not fixed? Then go to Universal Access and see if your contrast is goofed up. And if all this doesn’t work…

    On the hardware side, check brightness from your
    keyboard. If that is good, and your color is still messed up, restart and right before it chimes, reset parameter RAM by holding down Cmd+Opt+P+R until the Mac chimes again. This resets all your initial settings related to the display to default. Let go of the keys.

    If absolutely nothing so far has helped, then your screen has another issue. Your display adapter, screen, or other hardware has a serious problem, and you need to get your MacBook serviced.

  5. For most practical purposes you can't.The ELF file type is used primarily on unix and similar operating systems but not Windows. Converting an application from one platform to another is a major task, even for a skilled programmer with source code access.

    16 Hex – 22 decimal

    Its definitely a BIOS initialisation problem, but what is causing it can only be guess work without the details of you particular BIOS.

    If it is an Award, AMI or Phoenix BIOS, three of the most common, then following my give you a clue. Scroll down to the bottom of the pages for the later versions.

    We can’t tell you how to flash “all computer BIOS” because each manufacturer does it differently. To update the BIOS on your Lenovo B490, start by downloading the BIOS Update Utility from the following link. The name of the file is H9ET92WW.exe.

    http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/dow…

    After you’ve downloaded the file, do the following (from within Windows):

    – Double click on H9ET92WW.exe
    – Click Install
    – Click flash BIOS
    – Press ENTER to start the flash

    When the update finishes, the computer will restart & changes will take effect. If you’ve already tried the above & the update failed, there’s nothing you can do to fix it. The laptop will have to be taken to a repair shop.

  9. Thanks for letting us know you solved the problem. I'm surprised that board has onboard video. Do you have the Pro version ? Most boards like that today have no onboard video. Here is someone else with a similar problem.http://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx...I'm also curious what psu you have.
