    Network woes

    Posted: 26 Aug 2019 06:27 AM PDT

    Hello!

    Been dealing with this for about 6 months now. It started after the local gas company was digging around, and cut an underground cable. Called the ISP, they ran a temp patch cable, then later buried a permanent cable.

    Equipment:

    • ASUS (I think RT-56U)

    • ARRIS SURFboard SB6190 (32x8)

    Issues:

    1. Router SSID drops. It literally just disappears, stay gone for maybe 30 seconds to 2 minutes, then comes back. When reconnecting (particularly on mobile phones), it says that it has the wrong password, and wants me to reenter the password. Cancelling and waiting for another 30 seconds or so allows me to connect without issue.

    2. Router SSID is present, but will randomly stop giving service. I can see it, I can connect to it, but have no outside connectivity.

    Attempted fixes:

    • Replaced ethernet cable. I've used CAT5e, CAT6. The run is less than 2 feet from the modem.

    • Replaced the COAX cable. No change.

    • Replaced the Modem. Aside from some issues with my ISP that got resolved, no change.

    • Swapped the router. First one was with a ASUS Blue Cave, but due to a known issue that I didn't research before I bought, it drops SSID for no reason at all. Other one was a LinkSys router, but had similar connectivity issues (no SSID dropping though).

    • Contacted my ISP. Did troubleshooting over the phone, including a repush of the modem signal with no change. They sent a tech out, who said that they found nothing wrong.

    • Tested multiple devices: Desktop computer, Smart TV, Laptop computer, multiple smart phones.

    Any advice at this point would be greatly appreciated.

    How to stream a different computer

    Posted: 26 Aug 2019 01:22 PM PDT

    So I have a Macintosh PowerPc 8600/200 and as the title says id like to stream me playing with it from my gaming PC which runs windows. Problem is I have no idea on how to do it. I thought if i were to connect them to the same monitor that it might work but it didn't. I thought about a capture card but unless i found one that supported VGA I doubt would it would work.

    Secure boot; can’t boot to optical drive

    Posted: 26 Aug 2019 11:38 AM PDT

    I'm dealing with a Dell Inspiron 5550 notebook.

    I suspect a hard drive issue, and would like to run SpinRite6.

    It has an optical drive. It doesn't show up in the boot options. I did disable secure boot, but the EFI/BIOS seems to want some additional commands in order to boot to the CD.

    Do I have any other options or do I need to open it up and use my desktop to boot SpinRite on the naked drive?

    Reply from 8.8.8.8: bytes=32 time=1514ms TTL=56

    Reply from 8.8.8.8: bytes=32 time=1263ms TTL=56

    above is just an example of what i have been dealing with.

    i have pinged my modem and i get 1ms so its not a problem with that and im just trying to see if anyone can help me. Im calling century link tomorrow because im tired of trying to fix this but i know they will just send someone out in a week or two and just replace the modem. seeing if i can try anything to fix this so i dont have to deal with that. thanks for the help.

    also packet loss will sometimes be 0% 25% or 100%

    Problems after PC restart

    Posted: 25 Aug 2019 08:55 PM PDT

    Every time I restart my Lenovo AIO 520 running Win10, I get signed out of google chrome and have to sign back in, my desktop background is changed back to default and files that I've placed on the desktop are gone. My programs are still there also but my McAfee makes me set it up again after restart as well. Any ideas what could be causing this? Thanks for any and all help!
