    Windows 8.1/Lenovo y510p - Getting set up, deleting bloatware, etc.

    Thanks. I uninstalled pretty much all the apps that were a 'free trial' as well as some that I know I'll never, ever use, like a karaoke app (wtf?) so I think I got most of the obvious ones so far. There's a few that I'm not sure of, like Lenovo's 'Stagelight' program. Not sure what it is, I...

    Windows 8.1/Lenovo y510p - Getting set up, deleting bloatware, etc.

    Hey guys, I just bought a Lenovo Ideapad y510p. The boot time isn't as fast as I was expecting it to be, although after I ran a windows update it got better (around 30sec.) I've been reading around on the internet and a lot of people have said that performance improves a lot after they get...

    LAN ports not working on zombied 2nd router

    Nope, you were correct, on both counts. It /was/ the ether net cable. I found out when I read the sticky on modem/router setups and went about cascading my routers /properly/ and setting up my whole network again from scratch. After I reset both routers to factory specs I wasn't able to access...

    LAN ports not working on zombied 2nd router

    Can't really, I only have one spare ethernet cord long enough and that's it. It's brand new out-of-the-box though, be pretty weird for it to not work, but I suppose it's possible. And the how-to I followed for setting up the secondary router specifically said that it's IP had to be on a...

    LAN ports not working on zombied 2nd router

    Pretty much what the title says. I have a second router with DHCP filtering turned off functioning as a wireless access point in my room. I tried to connect my Xbox to the router with an ethernet cable, but my Xbox doesn't recognize the wired connection. The wireless signal it picks up just...

    Expanding a network (one house to another)

    Thanks guys, one more question. I kinda need the extended part of the network to be wireless... and switches do not appear to be wireless. Am I supposed to connect an access point or something to the switch to be able to acheive that? And if you go through all that trouble, wouldn't it be...

    Expanding a network (one house to another)

    Hello, my brother just got internet access for his place, and I agreed to pay a share of the bill for access. However, he lives in a cottage behind the main house (where I live) and the signal from his wireless router doesn't reach the main house...so I'm basically paying for internet I cannot...
