Hi there, Thanks for your reply. For trying to detect problems, I ran Hitman, Spybot, CCleaner, and Malwarebytes. My current AV is Avast Premium, and a full system scan doesn't turn up any issues even if some of the programs above catch one or two things (usually just a PUP or two). I...

Hi everyone, I'm not sure if this would be the proper subforum as it may not be a software issue entirely, but it appears to only happen within the Chrome browser and not others, so I thought this would be a good place to ask. I'm running Windows 10 Home Edition on an ASUS X556UAK model. I...

That's very helpful; I will remember that for future purchases, thank you.

Thank you very much for your reply. I've updated with the information you've requested as well as some additional things I noticed now that the second transfer attempt has finished and I can check out the files.

Latest Update: Even some newly downloaded files that I path directly to the new drive either don't open or only open with some glitches or corrupted spots. I think I purchased a bad drive here and it is a case of my own stupidity. It was on a bit of a sale but the price was high enough that I...

Hi Playa, Thanks for your reply. I apologize, but I'm a bit confused by your question. There's just one router here and one owner (me), but the router I've been using since the beginning of the year is a new one that was gifted to me. I may have said something confusing in one of my earlier...

Hi Bill, Thanks once again for your continued assistance. Out of all the simple things I've tried, I did not yet power cycle the modem. Reason being, I have to awkwardly get on my stomach and hold on the front faceplate of the thing while I unplug it, otherwise the plate comes off when I try to...

Hi, thanks for your response. I spoke too soon yesterday, as the problem has reoccurred today a couple of times. I'd love for it just to be a firmware issue, but I am not sure if there is a way to check if it did a stealth update? There was an update waiting when I did go to check Friday, which...

I'm just a lowly writer, although ironically, I do get clients from tech blogs who want me to write tech-based articles and how-tos for their sites. It's mostly basic stuff though, level 1 as you might say. I do have a brother-in-law who is extremely gifted with this kind of thing and can absorb...

Hi again, After being AFK today, the router appears to be working so far as it normally should before all this started Thursday. I'm hoping it stays that way, but I may have to come back after a few days. I certainly wish there was a good way to know what happened and why. It could have been an...

Hi, thanks so much for your response again. I'm about to leave for a few hours and will see how the router is when I get back. I will also remember to try checking out that IP address as well to see if it displays anything I might make sense of. I suppose it really could have just been a...

Hi, Thanks for your response. I will try to be more clear. I just need time to look over some of the router's settings and perhaps reword some of my information. Regarding the connection and the release/renew, I can try to explain now. In my wireless settings via the web interface, there is a...

Hello everyone, I've posted this on the community forums for my router manufacturer, (TP-Link Archer A7) but I wanted to also post it here to see if I could get any answers. I've been having this problem for about 48 hours now, and I really need my internet for work, so it has been an issue...
