    Intense UV light also creates O³. TIG welding creates a substantial amount of ozone, but again, expensive equipment necessary. A welding shop might be messy and dirty, but germs, mold, and the like will be absent.

    Having trouble with the Intel 7260 Wireless/BT

    I've had that happen with wired NICs. Windows being dumb, I had to use a usb rj45 in windows, but a real install of Mint was happily fine with MB nic that windows didnt even detect. Eventually, didnt care, as i stuck to the Mint install.

    OP label on avatar

    Better lan controller,etherenet card or better mb ?

    Try a USB RJ-45 adapter. I have a ugreen brand and like it. If you go that route, make sure to get usb 3.x. I got mine for laptop that lacks onboard rj45. Have used it on other rigs for testing purposes. They come in handy.

    Bought this router on a whim is it decent ASUS RT- AX 3000 V.2

    Yo, welcome back. It looks like the green port is 2.5gGbps port. Not sure if it is strictly WAN, or can get configured as LAN port
