Everything else works fine I just tried putting the old router back on and printer won't connect. Yet another POS printer that gets tossed. Seems to be planned obsolescence. Wired connection doesn't work either. Try a factory reset if I can. I found out after I posted there were a few prints...

Couple weeks ago swapped over to the DECO mesh 3 node setup which works great. Now I cannot get my printer to connect. Tried reinstalling drivers and rerunning setup program for the printer, nothing works.

Legion, misstyped

I want to connect TWO external monitors to my Asus Legion PC with a internal Nvidia GTX 1650 graphics card. The better color 21.5" monitor I plan to use the HDMI connector on the computer to HDMI on monitor. Would it better or even possible to connect another monitor (24" lower color and...

SOLVED- seems user name is case sensitive My website I have been FTP'g for years with no issues using mostly Core FTP but any client works with 10 or lower. Two new Lenovo Legion 5 win 11 laptops can't connect no matter what I try. Tried with saving and not saving passswords, tried turning off...

Lot's of info thanks. I heard one reviewer on on this forum say the Legion is heads above the thinkpad for build quality. When I use the newegg selection tool with my min requirements (17" IPS screen, dual drives and win 10) the Lenovo legend stands out. What am I missing? I currently have a 4+...

Thanks for your input. That configurator doesn't show SSD and HD sizes. Hard to tell if it has both. Does weird things with OS too. Select win10 and not an option when I go to configurator Trying to stay under $1500 and I want 2. I am looking at legion series...

My core requirements for 2 laptops. SSD and HDD (512 SSD plus 1TB min spinner) I have a 2TB spinner I can put in but warranty might be voided so willing to buy new 17" IPS or better display, backlit keyboard Win 10 home or pro Run photoshop and Lightroom. I often do 500 plus raw image imports...

So my 3-4 year old HP-17T, Win 10 laptop randomly launches programs located in the taskbar. I am assuming it's a dirty or failing keyboard which probably isn't worth fixing considering external plastic case is not doing well either. I am also having a lot of trouble getting what keys I press to...

I have no ability or desire to play with voltages and currents. I swapped computers and cables as much as I have access to. I will stick to the 4TB Western Digital drive for now to avoid confusion. I use supplied cable (and tried other cables) and having used the drive for about a year on my...

Win 10. Just recently I have had a rash of USB HDD troubles. The most troubling is a 4TB WD passport. I get the hardware added sound but drive never shows. If I use paragon partition program and change drive letter, and apply, I can see it but when re-insert the cable it's gone again. I have...

I am interested in a VPN for my home network. My router is open VPN compatible and I am moderately computer literate but this VPN stuff is making my head spin and eyes glaze over Router Netgear R6700v2 firmware V1.2.0.8_1.0.1 Can someone explain in English (not network guru jargon) what I need...

Thanks Kanewolf, your idea helped but the problem ended up being a funky cable from the cable modem to the first router in my cascaded setup. Replaced that cable and checked every port and cable as I re-setup my network using different SSID. Phone outage turned out to be another bad cable buried...

I have a difficult network problem to diagnose and could use some help. Cable Inet from Charter Spectrum, cascaded 3 router setup. See diagram attached. The cascaded part has been working for years as LAN-LAN For months I have had to reboot cable modem to get android devices to work...
