I wanted to thank one of your senior members for his very wise/oldschool words. I had a lot of bad stuff with my Asus router 68u not send out properly from my pc. I had recently had to reset my router cos I was trying to set up a mesh wifi - thats another story. With all my messing about I started having probs - If it aint broke dont fix it KWIM
days wasted - then came here - hours wates trying to register new name - eventually got thru to admin here - reported on here.
Sadly - although I had a name registered I was not manually approved yet - board problem. But while I could browse some useful topics, the board didnt remember where I had been, nor did I. So Ive lost the place to say thanks to the member for his advice
Silly but simple - turned out my problem was the old ethern cable between modem and router - short 1m but it looked like a cheapo kit with a twisted rj45 plug one end. So I put in a new one 2m long cat 6 - and most problems went away.
As the member said - when your network plays up - start with basics. unplug all cables power cycle modem (unplug router) - the plug in router and power up, the log in pc. plug in devices (hope I have the right order pls advise).
Now I have to get my W11 into stable order as a recent upgrade to 24H2 has left me uncomfortable - pc is slower startup from sleep and browser Opera freezes up - didnt do that before. So that what meddling has done for me.
So to the member I cant find - but sure you will know who you are as your were VIP? Thanx 10^6
