What's the Netgear extender model number?
I have no idea right now. It's not listed in Device Manager. And the only time I saw it, was when the net went out. A page would come up asking for email and password when trying to connect to one of my websites I had up.
The reason I asked about the router is I can put it in the living room, not ten feet from the computer. The on the first or a few days later, I can buy enough cat 5 cable to set this up as wired instead of wireless.
Wired!
I thought you might agree! :)
Well, it happened again this morning, the extender said it needed more information before it could connect me to the net. I went in there and unplugged it from the wall so I could bring it in here to check for a reset switch or button or push something. While I was looking and it was unplugged, my net righted itself and it's picking up my brother's modem/wifi without the use of the extender. Weird, eh?
Sure is. Is the signal strong enough to use or is it fading in and out?
Brother's wifi signal is strong. I took the app you gave me off my phone. And since I unplugged the extender, I don't see a need for it.
Good to hear you now have a strong signal.
Give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done then eh? ;)
<shaking_head> Don't remind me. Been there, done that.
Really, Doc? LOL
I had a friend in college that couldn't figure out why her printer wouldn't print. She asked me to look at it and I did. She had both cables connected, the USB and the other one, what ever it was back then. I unplugged the other one, and she was able to print. She thought I was a genius. :D
:)
Sounds like "the other one" may have been an old parallel port (LPT) cable ... connects to a 25-pin port on the PC end and a 36-pin Centronics port on the printer end?
Yeah, LPT cable. I knew it started with an L but couldn't think of the other two letters. But she had both cables hooked up and couldn't figure out why the printer wouldn't print. I disconnected the LPT one and she could print then. I told her she didn't need both. She said the instructions said "cables" and I said they only mentioned cables, but you only were supposed to use one. LOL
