    TV can't see DNLA server via RT-86U

    Well - no dice. Resetting to factory did nothing to getting the TV to connect to my operational network. Neither ethernet nor WiFi is working. Is some setting on my 86U blocking it?

    TV can't see DNLA server via RT-86U

    I tried using Plex Media Server & the TV couldn't see that either. Wireless option couldn't locate the DNLA server also. I'll factory reset the TV - per your suggestion. Not much to lose there besides doing an eye test.

    TV can't see DNLA server via RT-86U

    My Panasonic Viera ST-60 has lost its ability to connect to the DNLA server on my PC to stream movies/photos. Concurrently, it also lost its ability to play content from the built in Amazon Video/Netflix/Vudu apps. I noticed this started happening in the last 6 months but only got around to...

    A little off topic: UPS backup power outdoors - how can I?

    You don't think a home UPS can handle a max draw of 200W & 2A? It's a gas tankless with a small pilot light & the power only comes on to swish the water around to stop it from freezing . So all small draws .

    Have had the indoor & ourdoor version of the TP-Link EAP225v3 AP's for first 6 months of 2018 & they were working great via their OMADA Controller utility. Then I switched routers from a flashed TMO 68U to an Asus RT-86U back in the summer & now I can't get the controller nor the separate...

    Why do some websites show Not Secure in Chrome?

    Thanks for the article. I had forgotten that was into deployment by Google. Though my Chrome Browser is v69.### not 70 as mentioned in the article. I'll turn on my virus scan to do websites & wait for everyone to get back on the updated certificates.

    Isolating ASUS tablet speed deficiency on 5GHz

    I'm on Merlin's 384.6. Everything running great except my ASUS 3S 10 Tab is giving 10% of the download speed vs. my other 5GHz clients. I confirmed that the tablet was giving better performance in the 100+ range when I was out of town @ a hotel using their WiFi this weekend. What can I check...
