Ok so I'm going to answer my own question. It seems I needed way more education before buying a WIFI extender. Regular network extenders require two networks to function. Something not mentioned in their listings. In order to have a seamless single WIFI network you have to purchase a WIFI mesh...

Is there a WIFI network extender that doesn't require you to create a new network? I want one that just extends my routers WIFI as I get farther away from the router. I bought a Netgear AC1200 WIFI range extender but it makes me create a new network when setting it up and also going into the...

And that's why I wait until the very last minute before I buy a new computer. I bet I'm not alone either.

Since the new computer would also have Windows 10 I would want to move everything else but the operating system. Something like clicking on start the process. When it's finished restart the new computer and everything is there. Same desktop, same files, just like you had it on the old computer...

I have a desktop computer that is getting pretty old. It is running Windows 10. The issue is I like everything on that computer and it has taken years to get it the way I like. I would probably purchase a new computer today if there was an easy way to move everything exactly the way it is from...

Just to add I have checked all my cables and they are in great shape. Also if I plug in headphones I do not have this issue at all with them.

Not too long ago I got a Windows 10 update. Since then my Realtek audio has been acting very strange. I have tried to update the driver both through the Windows update driver system and the Realtek web site but they all say I have the correct driver installed. My computer is a HP desktop running...

I am engaged in private messaging with Verizon about this issue today. They say they have tested their line and have found no significant issues. I have heard that some modems operate better with low SNR readings. The Modems Verizon offers are the Actiontec GT784WNV and the D-Link 2750B. Is...

From everything I have read DSL modems are very sensitive to line noise for a stable connection. I have read that numbers under 10 db. are bad. That is why I suspect the low SNR numbers are causing the problem.

The DSL light always stays on when it disconnects. Only the internet light goes out.

I have been able to log into the router when it goes down. If I am upstairs I can log in and go to utilities and reboot the gateway from there. If I look at the status when I do this it says it is connecting. Doing this doesn't work as well as doing it at the modem because it just reboots...

I have the Actiontec GT784WNV modem. When it disconnects the top 2 lights, power and DSL are solid and the bottom light, internet is blinking but in a minute or two turns off. When the modem is connected the top 2 are always solid and the bottom is always blinking. I have never seen that light...

I actually had a tech guy come to the house. At that time I had the modem running off the old cat 3 lines in the house and he didn't say a thing. He checked the outside lines and told me he moved me to a different pair. It was through web searching I found out about the home run line using...

Thanks. I always knew about distance in regards to speed with DSL. I am lucky enough to be only about 1 mile from the switch so I can get close to 7 mbps. I was also aware of the noise issue which is why I put in the interior shielded direct cable and ferret blocks to try to diminish that as...
