IMac with a 256 GB hard drive, 140 GB used space, 116 GB free. Is a 256 GB flash drive large enough to back up the hard drive using Time Machine? I have read in places that they recommend twice the storage space of the original hard drive ?

My current ISP is CenturyLink, I use a DSL modem/router with their name on it that I purchased on eBay (Technicolor C2000T). I was recently approved for Starlink. I’m wondering if I can put the router/modem Starlink provides into bridge mode, and using Starlink’s ethernet adapter, plug it into...

I purchased an iMac in June, just upgraded to macOS Ventura. For some reason, whenever the computer starts, Chrome starts automatically. Can I stop this? Chrome is not the default browser I've tried removing chrome from Login Items in system settings.

Still can't get it to work. It gets to the point where the lights on the front of the router are green, but won't connect. When I click on setup Wizard, it says are you sure, you already have a valid Internet connection. I went ahead and set up the wireless settings, and it broadcast the network...

I don't use a switch, not even sure what that is (sorry). The ZyXEL modem/router is placed in the middle of my house, with a couple of desktop computers in different rooms, and a laptop computer that travels around. None of them are connected with an ethernet cable, they are all connected...

I used the Netgear router for years with a local ISP before having to switch to centurylink and use their DSL modem/router. With the Netgear, transferring files between computers was much faster, and I could stream video from one computer to another. The ZyXEL is very slow compared to the...
