    Connecting multiple routers

    Hi. I have an issue with my internet and can't solve it. I have an ASUS N66u router. From there, I'm running an ethernet cable through the house to another router, a nice TP-LINK Archer C5 AC1200 . With this setup, both emit a wireless signal and can be hardwired to with a computer or TV...

    No sound from right speaker

    Hi, I'm using a Sony STR-DE595 amp. It's been in safe storage for a while because it messed up a while ago, and I couldn't fix it at the time. My center speaker and left speaker work fine, but my right speaker is emitting no sound. There seems to be something wrong with the amp internally...

    Using a monitor vs a tv

    I'm currently using a BenQ GL2760H monitor. I had a friend ask to buy mine for the same price I bought it for ($170) and I found this Vizio TV. This TV has a faster refresh rate, and I would like a bigger monitor. Is there any downsides to upgrading? Or a better deal I can get? I'm running a...

    Stereo split to speakers

    Have you considered simply buying a receiver and speakers? From my research the JBL Xtreme speakers sell for $300 each - you could spend much less on a solid speaker setup. To answer your questions, I believe it would work. The sound level would be lower and you would take a hit to the quality...

    5.1 Speaker problems on JVC.

    Is this your amp? http://tinyurl.com/zavayc3 Where are you connecting the blue jack? Try using a Y adapter - aux to red and white and see if there's a difference. Most walmarts have them for $4. You need plugs going into both white and red to use all the speakers.

    Which equalizer should I get?

    I have a Sony STR K840P 600w 5.1 reciever. I currently own all the speakers that came with it originally, and I'm looking at getting an equalizer, since the settings on the receiver aren't all that great. Which one should I get, and which cable do they usually use to connect? Attached is a...

    How to test subwoofers?

    I got an old Sony STR K840P 5.1 600w amp that came with all the original speakers, and I'm looking at upgrading the weak 100w subwoofer. I figured, instead of spending +$100 on a sub on amazon, I would check out all the subs they have at goodwill all the time. Is there a way to test them without...

    Is there any way to connect old 5.1 home theater to laptop or pc?

    Have you looked at getting a Y adapter(red and white to aux)? I bought one for my own 5.1 system and it works great. They have them at Walmart for less than $5.

    Desktop keeps disconnecting from wifi

    I built a desktop a few months ago, and have a USB wifi adapter plugged in the back. The wifi isn't as fast as I want, but everything runs fine. I installed Windows 10, and noticed my computer stops makes a noise, and stops the wifi when I begin streaming 5 seconds of a TV show. I'll hit play on...
