I have used 3 different browsers- Firefox, Brave, and Edge- ran every malware, virus and trojan hunter I can get my hands on. I have used Ashampoo, defragged, cleaned the Registry, changed DNS, released IP, Renewed IP, Flushed it,...

I have been browsing the internet via Private Internet Access VPN for privacy, just on GP, for about three years, and it has worked pretty well for me. My current license expires in February, 2021. In November, I bit on a solicitation from them for a three year renewal offer. When I downloaded the current version of the client, I found that it refused to install, with a message that the...

I've re-booted my Motorola SB5101 modem before, so I know about how long it used to take. The other day I thought I hadn't done it for while do I did, but on powering back up, it took an extraordinarily long time. The online light just kept blinking for about 10 minutes, like it couldn't make a connection. Finally it did, but about 15 minutes later it re-booted itself and the same thing...

Short version: I have two wifi networks on my main W7 desktop. I used an old XP laptop as the "Setup Device" when configuring a new Netgear EAX20 as an extender for one of those networks. Everything went well until the final step, which failed. Now the laptop is somehow prohibited from accessing, or being accessed via the wifi network that I was extending. Yet it operates perfectly well on...

I was looking for new ways to speed up my internet connection a little bit and I found a website that says they have special DNS servers that help to speed up your internet connection. I am using windows 7 at the moment on an older computer that I put a SSD drive into. I was told it would help speed it up a bit. And it did. Someone had setup cloudflare DNS...

Hi people! I have a doubt! First of all let me tell you that I am at home, not at work where it would not be strange if I would detect the presence of any other network users. At home I am sure I don't share anything with anybody. Well, some time ago, while at home, I noticed that my network was filled with lots of users, and that some of those users where composed by gibberish letters....

Hi, Yesterday I installed Win7 Ultimate from the insomnia crowd. Went OK, but the WIFI adapter is gone without a trace. The only thing I find in the Device Manager are two bluetooth adapters, that can be toggled on or off with the fn+f3 key. I see there are a lot of people that lost the bluetooth and kept the WIFI, but with me it is the other way around. Before I had Win10 on this laptop,...
