  1. Only few Zyxel were listed WAX630,NWA110ax,NWA220AXE in India. I went with Tplink Omada Ax3000 EAP650. I had forgotten this doesn't require app like current mesh AP and works through local IP and setup was super quick with much better speeds and stability. Thanks. Once the testing is done, I'll replace Deco M5 and make Omada a wall mount.
  2. Thanks Mr. Fox. I didn't know you used a switch, thought you were on WiFi 7BE routers already with AX401 intel card. Still need to do some research though.
  3. @Papusan @Mr. Fox @jaybee83 Any recommendations for a stable AP without random disconnections and highly customizable. I did find some openWRT but they don't have warranty support in India. Thanks
  4. Should I add this paste to the list? Anyone has reviews of TG Phase Change Pastes?
  5. Hey guys just got a Zen 4 8840HS I benched using Cinebench R23 with balanced mode and perf mode on Benchmate 12 on Windows 11, yes it's a mess performance is all over the place. I got 13600 on balanced power profile, 14500 with high perf mode with temps pushing to 96C due to slow fan response and no proper flat surface since they used heatpipes as heatsink. Its running with IC graphite pad. Wifi is soldered Qcomm and was thermal throttling with 10GB Windows ISO. Added a thermal pad to SSD,NIC/WLAN to reduce temps by 10C. I wanted to know if the scores are good for 8c/16T 40W CPU.
  6. Hey everyone been a long time. I got a new PC for work with Ryzen 8840HS 40W model, a thinkpad P14s. It has soldered Wifi module so my AP Deco M5 has been disconnecting and often shows up as connected but no internet leading to missed meetings in Zoom/Teams. Currently disabled Beamforming and other settings for which defeated the purpose of buying a mesh router. Caused major issue with iOS showing insecure warning and even connecting after iOS 17 update. My setup is just like Router extender which is almost old with OFC. In India they have blocked 6E and above with only Wifi 6 being allowed. I had several options such as Ubiquity U6+, Mikrotik cap Ax, Zyxel NWA110ax, Omada Ax3000. Read about Ubiquity releasing beta updates and bricking device and slow speed due to slower hardware unless it's a pro. Omada has similar FW instability like Decos, Mikrotik has distributor issue and steep learning curve. Zyxel is the first time I heard and dunno if its good. The budget being 200-250$. Pros: Long Support Cycle 5-6 yrs Wifi 6 Work with Android, iOS, Windows and Linux without needing to disable beamforming, MIMO, roaming etc.
  7. It seems Zen 4 and 5 APUs SMDs are electrically conductive even with using insulation tape and I found it the hard way after I talked to Juan/judal57 who said it was electrically conductive when measuring the dimensions of APU and noticed a shock and spark due to ESD when I touched memory shielding frame of my new thinkpad P14s Gen 5 (Ryzen Pro 8840HS 30-40W TDP) with soldered network card (damn) NFA725 Qualcomm. Added a thermal pad to SSD, Wifi card and CPU. Upgraded memory to 24GB from 16GB as I was running out of 16GB with just VSCode, Zoom and MS teams in background at work. Didn't see much changes as CPU pushed through 96C before and after repaste. I used IC graphite pad with a little bit of thermal paste made by cooler master maker gel nano. Before the fans spin the CPU hits 96C and then temps drop to below 90C's otherwise it was running close to 100C out of the box. Had to disable lenovo power driver service as it was boosting CPU unnecessarily based on workload and battery life tanked to under 2hrs just like alienware and the reason to upgrade was better battery life due to heavy rains or power cuts. After tweaks I got 6hrs but still there's lot to improve. I'll add the images if anybody needs it. Here is link to HWBot: https://hwbot.org/submission/5635947 Another thing was Bitlocker Encrypted drive was not able to be unlocked within Macrium PE and I got that dreaded Bitlocker recovery Screen after fresh install. Disabled device encryption and BDE. I don't want new headaches. It is a mess to boot ventoy without secure boot and only Wimboot was working as expected.
  8. Did anyone had buggy MS Edge webview update after applying OOSP 10? Something broke on my new PC after clean install. It was a nightmare to get Ventoy working with Thinkpad BIOS due to secure boot issues and ISO boot. Only Wimboot worked. Tried xd-antispy as well. OOSP 10 never failed me in Windows 10 and 11 22H2.
  9. They will be pushing group policy or defender updates to fix those. Some improperly saved txt files can cause if you're using unicode and non-unicode languages not conforming to the standards.
  10. Didn't notice it on my sis's laptop.
  11. Who knows if it was suggested by AI chatbot? Would have been better if AI could find better materials. I hope they include an NPU with the box.
  12. MS did something with ESU updates on Win 7 which is now very buggy even on Skylake and VM. @Papusan I might switch to dark side with Surface Laptop 7 15" XElite or even AMD Ryzen 8000 U/HS or NUC since my Xbox Accessories requires Windows 11 and is infinitely stuck at loading screen with Windows 10. Thought of building SFF Ryzen but I'm highly concerned with power in Asus B670E boards for 7950x3d w/ 7900 GRE and warranty rip-off in India. Thinkpads are soldered as well. It sucks that Indian variants are slow to arrive and basically rip-off's with high pricing.
  13. Those AI features might be trickled down to Intel or AMD once the guinea pig testing says more users liked it otherwise it will be removed in the next release.
  14. No honor can be expected from Sea of Thieves publisher.
