I purchased it from Microsoft via Amazon. According to my Orders list, it's the exact same webpage from which I purchased my previous Xbox 360 controller, which worked considerably better.

Here is the link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004JU0JSK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Or maybe something like this if you want a switch to move between displays

I've never used either of these products, so I'm not recommending them in specific, I'm only showing the solutions exist.

Try using the auxilary input, the cable is included as per the listing on Amazon(Speaker). Connect to the audio out behind TV(red,white), the other end to the aux in on the speaker. 3.5 mm cable looks like the headphone jack cable.

Use this cable

Or if you have 3.5 mm cable use the one below to convert to RCA

It seems to me that your wireless card is either too weak or just bad in general. You should be able to buy a good wireless adapter for pretty cheap. I recommend this one: https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-AC600-Wi-Fi-Adapter-A6100/dp/B00F6EL6O4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1522786566&sr=8-3&keywords=netgear+wireless+adapter

Yes... they make a converter type plug that goes into the socket. It has a tab on it that would go underneath the screw in the faceplate to ground out the plug.

Looks like this:

Do this first and then just use it with this and you just scored yourself an external HDD :D

What SCSI version are the drives? If you don't know, post a model number or drive label and a pic of the port.

You'll need a SCSI controller, IDE won't work as SCSI uses an expanded command set which IDE doesn't support.

Best bet is to find a cheap PCIe SCSI adapter and a cable to host the drives on a machine to wipe them. Older SCSI is dated tech, but the controllers will still run you 50-150 ea, even for the old stuff. If this is out of the question, put a bullet through them or take them apart with a hammer.

DO pay attention to these controllers! Most of them are PCI-x not PCI-e because they were mostly for server boards from 90's to late 00's vintage. The link below is for an LSI PCIe card which will probably work for you if you have U320 SCSI drives. You'll have to add a ribbon cable AND the SCSI terminator for each unused port, AND have your drives addressed in the controller. SCSI is nowhere near as simple as SAS/SATA/IDE. Much of the drive/controller/cabling in SCSI requires setup on the controller firmware to address the drive.

I'm looking around for a USB to SCSI adapter but they are extremely rare and expensive.

You definitely not get a "gaming" branded monitor for that price, but really all that you need for that price is a fairly low latency, no more than 6-7ms delay, and then 1080p with whatever inputs you need.

​

this might work alongside a display cable adapter if you need one

Ok. I'm not a network engineer - just a humble help desk guy - but there are a couple things going on here that worry me.

1.) You have two wireless access points (the two routers) interfering with each other. Any communication on the same channel is going to cause a problem. They need to either be set so that the wireless networks they create are on separate channels that don't cross over (typically 1, 6, and 11), OR turn the Wifi off on the XyZel.

2.) The Nighthawk is an incredibly fast router. The XyZel is no slouch either. But bad things happen when you connect a router to a router without doing some configuration. I've never done such a thing, nor would I ever have a reason to, so I don't know how to configure a dual-router environment. It's my thought that this may contribute to your slow speed.

3.) From the way you described, it sounds like you guys just needed more ethernet ports? You don't want a router for that. You want a switch instead. No config needed - just plug it into any avail. ethernet port on your router and you've got 8 extra ports.

My recommendation: Disconnect either the XyZel OR the Nighthawk from your network. The Nighthawk is faster, and should work fine with minimal configuration if you connect it to the modem. Then get a switch and plug it in if you need more ethernet ports than you have.

The only environments I've seen which have had multiple routers in the same network were universally large, enterprise networks with multiple subnets and redundant circuits.
