I just went through 2 days of a "Windows Security Defense Center " alert the would not allow my laptop to go anywhere. Couldn't even shut off the laptop. The number I called (Lebanon Comcast) sent me to someone in Moscow TN with an ESL person named "Eric." I hung up but he called back twice. I...

Yes I do but it's paused for the articles. i can't remember why I paused it; maybe I couldn't read the articles? So i went into my ad blocker and changed it to block ads on the article site but the ads are still there.

I used to have a KVM switch from TRENDnet that you could have 4 PCs and peripherals hooked into the switch. I only needed 2 computers and one monitor hooked up and it worked great. I forget how I used to switch between the computers but it was simple using the keyboard. It's been 15 years since...

I don't mind ads most of the time on web sites but today while reading about the newest alert, there were THREE (3) ads on the site to donate to Harris-Walz campaign. No thanks. If you accept political ads like this, maybe I'll have to leave. I get tired of politics and don't want to see more of...

No, it isn't but the funny thing is, the buffering, if that's what it is, has stopped. Maybe Xfinity was working on the network but it's all "quiet" for now. BTW, I'm thinking of going back to cable for one TV since hubby refuses to even try to change channels with streaming. Says he can't...

It's about 10 feet away from the TV in the office. I would say it's another 5 feet away from the living room TV. It sits on top of my desktop in the office but I can't get it any closer to either TV. I don't have any problem with the laptop in the living room or the phones.

It's a Motorola MT7711 modem, substitute for Xfinity modem. On the box, it says DOCSIS 3.0 24x8 modem with built-in AC1900 WiFi Gigabit Router. The WiFi can be 2.4 Mbps or 5G. Under the properties, it says 2.4 Ghz.

I couldn't find my original information but when I went online it said my WiFi is 150Mbps for $68/mo. Isn't that expensive for so little? But do I really need more than that? Everything loads and downloads pretty fast and TV seems normal rate. I just have a bit of aggravation when I turn on...

I restarted the device a couple months ago. I restart the 1 TV a lot. I have 2 phones, 2 computers (desktop & laptop), and 2 TVs connected, but only 1 TV, laptop and the 2 phones during the day. The desktop and 1 TV are in another room and I am the only one who uses those. At night 2 TVs...

My son fixed me up with streaming and I cut the cord but I no longer have 6 internet access, only WiFi through the Comcast/Xfinity modem(?). Lately, the picture goes black and reloads to the spot where it went blank. This used to happen once in a while but now it's 4-5 times a day, sometimes...

Yesterday, up popped the voice/speech thing. I wasn't doing anything with the phone at the time. I never use speech and don't know why it popped up but since then, I can't do anything. Can't swipe to another page, can't turn this ghost off, can't make calls, and can't get to the settings,. It...

Finally getting ready to cut the cord since Comcast/Xfinity raised prices again. i called to cancel but the person I communicated with, supposedly expert customer service rep (that's laughable) didn't offer a better deal and didn't seem to care. She told me I can go to a UPS mailing center to...

LOL. I can't keep good backups because my CD/RW died a couple years ago. The DVD still works but i can't change anything on the disks I save. i had an external backup but they stopped supporting XP so it no longer works. What I don't like about Win10 is saving files. It chooses where I want to...

I was using Malware Bytes and Avast. I never had a problem with websites or emails being stripped of their images, but I do now. Half my emails are stripped of any images and I don't know why. Some web sites won't load for some reason. i don't know why that's happening either. So now I don't...

Would this work? I'm using a Win10 (which I hate) Dell Inspiron laptop. My old desktop is running XP. from 2003. Everything worked fine until a few weeks ago. I use programs like Ancestry on the desktop and my genealogy file that I've had since the 90s, but they upgraded the other week and...
