Thanks for the replies here. Since late yesterday, my internet connection on the home PC has been working fine with the tp-link external USB drive. I've used the home PC for several hours on Sunday and not a bit of problem. So I am going to consider it resolved for now - at least as far as...

Yes, I went to my settings for Wi-Fi properties. I noted that Automatic (DHCP) under both IP assignment and DNS server assignment were already set that way. But I am not sure how to change those numeric values you listed.

I have a 5 year old home PC desktop running Windows 11. Just within this past week, I am having connectivity problems where I will attempt to open a web site and I will receive error messages indicating the inability to reach a site. This is not affecting my separate work PC nor any other...

Thanks so much for the replies here. It was interesting that the clean install of Windows 11 did not automatically set the memory card (when inserted) to open the Photos app with the proper dialog box for importing pictures. And even when I updated the settings in Autoplay (as others have...

The settings for the memory card is Import Photos and Videos (photos).

I don't have the card reader on my personal computer. But my step father tells me that in windows 10, each time he would insert the memory card, he would get the pop-up with options to move pictures directly into his My Pictures or where ever he wanted. Of course, this was before the migration...

Thanks for the post. Unfortunately, I've tried that. Namely, I've removed the driver from Device Manager and installed it back (gives that generic 2006 driver). As for the drive letter, the SD memory card (for his camera) has a drive letter assigned to it. It just doesn't function correctly.

I helped my step father reset his computer from Windows 10 to Windows 11. Now the Sandisk memory card that he uses to transfer pictures from his camera to his PC is not working correctly. Prior to the upgrade, he could insert the Sandisk memory card into the slot on his Lenovo AIO PC and he...

Yeah, since all my devices appear to offer me the choice of what must be 2.4G (the wi-fi connection called Rexford on my home wi-fi) as well as the 5G Rexford/5G, I just thought it was kind of odd that I must scroll down in the list to get to the Rexford/5G wi-fi connection. At any rate, good...

So I am all set on my new router. But I do have one question, which might sound dumb. When I gave my router a home network name, I named it Rexford. But now when I go to network wi-fi connections, I see that I can choose between Rexford or Rexford/5G. I did a speed test between the two of...

Oddly enough, I learned today that my new router was on the current version! Somehow over the last 2 days, the router automatically made it to the latest firmware version of V1.0.11.112_2.0.77 That was not the case when I originally posted a couple of days ago. At that time (and with the...

I did briefly speak with tech support at Netgear. I was told that I would have to go through every firmware update (since my router's last firmware update) and install them one by one. In other words, no jumping from my August 2021 firmware version to the latest firmware update. I am not sure...

I just replaced my Asus router with a new Netgear Nighthawk AX5400 (model RAX50) router. This thread is not really about my specific router, but just thought I'd put that out there. So I just installed the new router on my home network today and got all wireless devices working as well. But...

I've been using Macrium Reflect since I posted this thread in May. It's very easy to use, and just works! I would highly recommend Macrium Reflect to others. Of course, as cereberus said, best to also have another backup method as well. And Cloud storage is good these days.

That's good to know that ImgBurn still works. I know it was very popular 10 plus years ago. But given the smaller number of people who burn CDs now days, I didn't know if it was still a trusted program or not. Speaking of trust, I always try to be careful which sites I download from...
