        Can you not just turn the wifi off on the Q box and use the N600 as a switch, connected to the Q box via a network cable.

          Jargon and acronyms, is just something all sectors use, it’s a way to confuse outsiders and make their role in life more exclusive. Keeps the presents at arms length, and make a nice barrier to enter too.

          It’s as simple as that.

           

          ED in uni I had a maths professor, that I doubt had ever been outside of a education setting, he was extremely smart, but the worst teacher I’ve ever encountered,he just spent hour on hour with his back to the hall, doing very complex maths, and getting annoyed with whole lecture halls as we couldn’t keep up.

          In year 3 we was doing far more complex economic equations, but the tutor, Ironically terrible at English, was great, as he would tell a story, frost telling you why you are doing what your doing, and the reason for it. Personally if I can attach a maths issue to its real life purpose, the maths stick, if you just through numbers and letters at me, most of it goes missing.

          The first guy, obviously a super clever guy, operating at a very high level, but had no teaching skills. Eventually no one went his lectures because, you’d have to do a few hours of homework just to figure out his lecture. So it was more efficient to skip the lecture, download the lecture notes and decipher it. Save the 2hours of lecture time.

            Did you not get my email Lee. I sent one to your Hotmail and one to Yorkshire fishing… The latter one bounceback, so gathered that one is now dead. Are you still using the Hotmail one?

                  He is adhd and speaks fast. I wouldn’t bother with glasswire John, he is a draw programmer, and knows what he is doing, the likes of you and I will more like do our salves harm messing with stuff we don’t understand.

                  The first link (video)  on the basic setup, plus making sure your host file is cleaned up, and stays clean, is all you need to do.

                  I think your best bet would be a clean install from scratch and not from a backup/clone,  as if you have an issue hidden, you don’t known how long it’s been hiding and if it’s in your back up.

                  I defo wouldn’t go poking with stuff I don’t fully understand, as you never know what your turning off.

                  The first video, though relative to your issue, that was only by accident.  it was to show ed that Edge can ignore the host file.  the second video was to back up the first video, as wasn’t ment for you. Sorry if it led you down the wrong path.

                    The linked videos was initially meant for you, but to highlight a point to ed, but yes when you do a clean set up next, it’s not bad practice to follow that video.

                    However there is likely to be some diffence as what was from the firsts weeks of win 10 release. But non the less, the majority will be still relevant.

                    The link ed gives you to clean your host file is what you want to check and clean up. That is exactly what I was getting at (but for got the name host file) in my first post, when I spoke about not quite knowing how deep a rouge browser add on can go.

                      Iirc correctly because of the above discovery, he went on to use this product to fully monitor what was going on.

                            Side Point, not related to your issue john.

                            Ed, did you know Edge will ignore your host file. Barnacles (from youtube) The ex Ms programmer, figured this out very early on, while figuring out where edge was reporting back to.

                              A vpn if he is buying a banking in a public space is a must. The free hotspot should would do

                                    Your tech help is a scam, Ms don’t ask for money in these cases.

                                    Strange it’s happening on two systems. My thirst thought would be a rouge ff/chrome pluggin redirecting you.

                                     

                                    Im not sure how deep a browser plug in could go. I’d first try and login via edge/ie, but still the plug in may redirect that. But I’d defo try a different  browser first.

                                        It shouldnt as you have a decent window to fix posts.

                                        I think if your adding info you should double post anyhow, as if you alter an origanal post, most people won’t see it, as they won’t know you have added, as they wont be notified. So if no one’s sees what you write, what’s the point of writing it?

                                        So double posting is fine. Actually should be preferred.

                                        Plus we haven’t seen an outbreak of DP and the edit setup had been in place a while.

                                        Personally I hate it when people go back  and edit or delete statements to fit their narrative. Even with the ability to mass edit and change post meaning I never did, even when I looked back and thought I shouldn’t of said that etc.

                                        I hate noting more than seeing on sites, that people have altered what they said. It’s easy to spot as the replies at first don’t make sense. But you can spot that the poster had got embarrassed or changed their mind and altered it. Instead of having some stones, and simply saying “I was wrong sorry” further down.

                                        15-30 mins is long enough for most people check their spelling etc. So it shouldn’t be an issue.

                                        I say most as as a dyslexic, I cant see my mistakes when I proof them, as I read it how I think I wrote it and not as I wrote it. When I come back an hour later most of the mistakes jump out then, but not at first.

                                        So if anyone should be annoyed about a short window, it should be the likes of me. But I’ll put my principles over personal embarrassment every time.

                                         

                                        One thing I hated about mm, and not sure if it can be done here,  is when  someone opened a new thread, the deleted it after replies had been added. I think delete privilege  should be revoked the second a reply is added.

                                          You all survived, because all the women back them was on a half bottle of gin a day and the prozac you mentioned. The men was on whisky, bennies and the staff.
