You're about to find out how little I know HP Envy TE01-0014 CPU: no idea where to find this CPU cooler: no idea where to find this Motherboard: no idea where to find this BIOS: F.47 REV A 12-6-23 Ram: 12GB SSD/HDD: 512GB NVME GPU: no idea where to find this PSU:no idea where to find this...

Hope this is the right place. W11 PC / Realtek RTL8822CE Not certain this is a hardware problem, but here goes. For a few days I'm unable to connect to the net using my W11 PC. I can connect using a laptop, tablet, and two phones to the wifi network. I can connect and stream YTTV on two TVs...

And only the one SSID shows up on my (or anyone's) network list on phones? OK, two SSIDs. One for 2.4 and one for 5. That's outstanding.

Netgear router R6050. Ubiquiti UAB-AC-LR. I've set these SSIDs because instructions for the devices say 'create an SSID.' If I read Titan correctly, I can set my APs to the same SSID as the router and only one SSID will show in the network list. Is that correct? If it is, do I no longer have...

Very good. A quick Google search shows I can set my Netgear router (now an AP) as a Repeater. Is that all I need to do? The other AP is a Ubiquiti. It seems I can set it up as a repeater, but with a little more work. I presume that means I remove the SSIDs associated with them and just set...

I hope this is the proper forum. I have an Asus router with the SSIDs 'Asus24' and 'Asus5.' (All SSIDs in this post are fictional.) I have an AP with SSIDs 'AP124' and SSIDs 'AP15.' I have a second AP with SSIDs 'AP224' and 'AP25.' What I would like to do is hide the SSIDs of the two APs. I...

Thanks to you and BFG. Sounds like I'll find a contractor to do the crawling under the house and do the troubleshooting.

Hope this belongs in "Networking." I have an ethernet cable running from one end of my house to the other (60') through wall outlets. All a single ethernet cable. Runs from my router to a 2nd router set as AP. Has worked perfectly for years. A few days ago it stopped working. The LAN light on...

WD Passport HD. No power source

Enclosure? None. USB HD. Self-contained. draws power from the Addonics I guess. I have a USB hub, but it has no power source. Addonics plugged in with no devices attached - Power and Source are solid bright some color.

Hope this is the right place. I have an Addonics NAS 4.0 Adapter (NAS40ESU) I have it set up properly as per instructions. Power button is solid green. Status button is on, but dim. which, according to the manual is "dark or dim to indicate a problem." Not very helpful. No response from...

Oops. One of them is just labeled "Recovery." How can I tell if it's an image, and if not, what are my options?

The partition is labeled "recovery image." Once I've wiped the C: drive, how do I restore windows from the recovery image?

My goal is to wipe all data on the default C: drive and reinstall Windows. Does the recovery partition do that? All 3 devices had the recovery partition at purchase.

I'm guessing this is a "systems" question. I have 2 PCs and a laptop we no longer use. I want to give them to charity, but before I do that, I think I need to wipe the HP to get rid of personal info. I know how to wipe a HD. All three devices have a recovery partition. After wiping the HDs...
