I found a solution. Thanks to @kira-faye 's comment regarding mixers, I changed my search terms. Looking for a "minijack mixer" got me to this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0824Q3WY8?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details Three inputs, two outputs, corded or battery power and volume control...

Thanks very much for the suggestion but wouldn't work well for me as I'm hard of hearing and require sound in both ears to understand what I'm hearing. I think I might have found a solution, if it works, I'll share what I found.

Thank you so much for taking the time to help me. I will give the link a read when I get back home. I should have explained in better detail what I'm trying to achieve. I'm sure it makes a difference but often I go into these things kind of with a half baked original post in my head. The...

I read something about a ground loop noise isolator being able to clean up conjoined signal, so I ordered one and will see if that allows me to use a simple splitter.

Hi there and thanks for the help! Unfortunately those splitters only work well in one direction and it's not the direction I need. When combining two sources via a splitter cable, the signal gets real bad and the audio output is terrible. They do work great, however for two headphones from...

Hello there everyone! I'm using two PCs and use a KVM to switch keyboard and mouse but I would like to hear the audio from both PCs at the same time through my headphones(no mic shared between them). I've done a lot of Googling and ..Amazoning? but all of the audio interfaces I find are both...

Hi there everyone! I want to be able to listen to spotify and use maps on a laptop(no cellular) mounted to a dash in my truck. The problem I have is that Google FI limits hotspot data so I can't use that to get data to the tablet. Unless I can get data to the tablet from the phone via other...

Hello there everyone! My mom is moving from a Windows laptop to a Chromebook and she often needs me to access her laptop, often while it's unattended to do things for her. I'm looking at the Teamviewer options for Chrome and am a bit confused by their different offerings. Which one would I...

Hello there! I'm using a PC as my router, booting OpenWRT from a USB stick. Everything works fine once it's up and running but if we lose power, the PC won't automatically boot from it and the BIOS doesn't show it as an option for automatically booting but if I go into the boot menu (F8), it...

It has. Also, when I was setting up the router, I was doing it upstairs so I was using the suspect cat5e cable and it worked great so the network cable seems a-ok as well. If I decide to put another AP upstairs, I should be able to use that cable without issue. One thing I wonder is if having...

Hi there guys, Since there seems to be a difference in informed opinions concerning adding a second AP, for now, I'll stick with the cheaper option of running with just the one. So far, it's been a great experience with nobody complaining of any issues. All things considered, it's been a...

Thanks very much for the help, Bill! It makes more sense to me now. I have another question now though: If I were to plug another wifi access point into the first one, using the first ap for the first floor connections and the second ap for the second floor, would that resolve some issues...

Hi there folks! I'm a few days in on the test of using wrt and a Netgear Nighthawk wifi router set as access point and so far, everything has been going great. I have one question that I've been unable to answer with the help of Google. I'm assuming that when a router's documentation or...

Is an i5-3570 @ 3.40GHz up to the task? Also, can I ask why adding a switch between the laptop and the router solved the issue I was experiencing?

Reseating the card seems to have done the trick. I'm now using lan on eth2. I installed the package you stated on page one for QoS but have a question: Which queue setup script should I use? Is there any other change I need to make here other than discipline and setup script?
