    How to Network computers to share files

    Thank you. I wasn't able to restore permissions. When I rebooted, I couldn't launch windows even when logged in as admin. After the login screen, it would just go blank. Thus, no ability to change permissions. I tried rebooting in safe mode. That didn't work. I tried system restores, that...

    How to Network computers to share files

    Just to give you an idea of how much help I need, I decided that the only person that really needed to be able to see or do any work on the C:\ of Computer 1 is the administrator for Computer 1. Thus, I went under security, and edited permissions such that authenticated users could not...

    How to Network computers to share files

    Is this an appropriate forum to discuss file sharing between computers and how to configure it for best security? I have one directory on Computer 1 that I would like anything on the home network to be able to view (view only). However, I don't want anything else from this computer shared. My...

    Point to Point Radio - how long of cable can I tolerate?

    Thank you. I tried "coupling" cables two different ways. One way was to plug the 6' cable and 50' cable into a 5 port TP-Link hub. The other way was to use a single female to female coupler. The hub has an external power supply, and the female to female coupler is unpowered. Are you saying...

    Point to Point Radio - how long of cable can I tolerate?

    I need to apologize. I made an assumption the problem was with my equipment and cables and not the ISP. I just connected a laptop directly to the injector (no router) and saw the same packet loss and reduced speeds. I contacted the ISP and learned they are having problems. I DEFINITELY had...

    Point to Point Radio - how long of cable can I tolerate?

    I am on an acreage. I receive internet via point to point radio. My router was set up on the far side of my house where the injector was for the point to point radio. I would estimate there is a 35 to 45 feet of cable between the radio on my roof and the injector. The router was hooked up...

    Adguard alternatives?

    Thank you......raspberry pi might be beyond my nerd abilities :) I found this website to be of some use in locking down my router. I thought I would share it in case someone comes after and is looking for the same: https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1039292/

    Adguard alternatives?

    Thanks Folks. I might (?) have found an acceptable alternative. I'm just starting to experiment with it. I downloaded the Merlin firmware for my router. Under AIProtection & Parental Controls, I blocked adult content on all clients. Unlike Adguard Family DNS, I still seem to have Youtube...

    My WiFi Journey; Is it worth it to open up the AC86U I just bought?

    Thanks Folks. I opened up the box and I'm glad I did. It's very impressive how much better the signal is with the AC86U as compared to the AC56U. I took a bunch of readings using WiFi Analyzer with the AC56U at different places in the house and then compared it to the AC86U. At the...

    Adguard alternatives?

    I am looking for a way to block adult websites and ads at the Router level. I changed my DNS servers in the router to point to Adguards DNS Family Protection, and was impressed. Ads are being blocked, adult content is being blocked, and search engines are forced into safe search. I liked...

    My WiFi Journey; Is it worth it to open up the AC86U I just bought?

    I had an AC56U on far side of house, and a Linksys WRT54G as a cabled AP on opposite side. 2000 ft^2 bungalow with about 65 to 70 feet between routers. Occasionally wifi was dropping out. For me, stable Wifi is more important than speed, as the best internet connection I can get at my acreage...
