I am sorry, I am obviously not as computer saavy as you are. Pardon my ignorance and stupidity. I have a router WIRED to my main desktop computer. My old laptop was WIRELESSLY hooked up to it. I don't know how to WIRELESSLY connect my new laptop to my own router, I have never done it before. I need someone to walk me through the steps of finding my WIRELESS source. A "source" is what the computer calls the choice of routers that show up on a list of routers near me (all through Verizon) that I can hookup to, but I do not want to do that, I want to use my own non-Verizon router which is not listed when I try to connect. I hope this helps you, and again I apologize for being so stupid with this. Whatever happened to the people on this forum who understood that not all of us are computer literate and that is the reason we come here: for answers, not to be belittled by those who are more knowledgeable?

"I should have said the bit should be run at the speed recommended by the maker." The bit manufacturers normally specifies the maximum speed the bit can be used at. The speed can be reduced depending on the wood being cut, the depth of the cut, and te amount of wood being removed. Different woods vary greatly in hardness, grain structure, and other characteristics that all effect bit speed and feed speed. Cherry is particularly troublesome. To slow a router speed (or to slow a feed rate) can easily result in burning, while to fast a feed rate results in a poor surface. Grain run-out on the area being cut also matters. If the grain is straight along the edge being routed the direction is not as important as if it runs at an angle to the edge. Just as with a planer, the direction matters to avoid splitting off chunks of wood in front of the cutting edge. Similar problems occur if you route a curved surface. The grain is going to be 'wrong' for one side of the curve. This is were tricks like a pattern bit with bearings above and below the cutter come in handy. You route one side of the curve with the top bearing on the pattern, the turn the work over and route the other side with the bottom bearing on the pattern.

Higgins: I'm glad you like CCCleaner. I feel better about using it than IOBIT, as I used it more than once several years ago. It has probably changed in the meantime, but will probably feel somewhat familiar. Yes, I understand that I can only stop things from starting up when I uncheck them in msconfig. There are times when that is necessary--from my point of view, if not that of the developers. Bugspop: Hopefully, hubby and I will not be dealing with Windows 10 until it is unavoidable in 2020, but knowing the evil day will inevitably come (I hate the colors and prefer icons to the rectangles in the "metro" look. [I realize they are not calling it that anymore, but don't know what adjective to use.]); so I have been collecting hints and articles on managing Win10. Your hint will be useful. Thanks!

I’ve been doing computer work for over 15 years professionally and over 20 years personally Bc my mom did coding in the 80# for her job so I got started before all the people my age even had comps (im 34). I previously working for Comcast as an internet tech over the phone. I worked for them before they sent a lot of the support overseas and apparently quit putting money into their own employees training what reps are here.. my experience is 3 years with Comcast IP tech support tier 1 and 2, also a lead of an advanced resolution team. I’ve read all the comments above and before you change stuff I’m curious about a couple of things.. do you have packet loss and have you performed a trace Route? Besides your standard cable stuff and your neighbors, do you have any one in your area that you know of that has any external antennas or anything like that? They would likely be very old. Do your neighbors have any issues with their service? There is a lot of outside interference that can contribute to your problems unfortunately. I hate assuming but I am going to assume Comcast has come out, replaced your drop(line from the tap, green box or up on the power line, to the outside connection on your home), inside and outside wiring and modem/router. While the person mentioning about the WiFi channels is correct as far as that is concerned if you are having problems with other services of Comcast (phone and tv)? Do you? i do heavily agree with purchasing your own equipment. You can actually purchase an eMTA for your phone and a separate modem and separate router. If you choose to get separate modem and router, do not place them right next to each other or on top of each other. I recommend getting a short Ethernet cable and about a foot apart. They can interfere with each other. If you are using the standard modem band of 2.4ghz, I recommend any cordless phones be unplugged if not in use and any other items that use 2.4ghz. If your device has the option, always use 5ghz if you can. Ill hopefully be able to help. I hate the way Comcast customers want to make customers pay for service but doesn’t want to fix th problem when it’s down. Their techs are lazy most of the time or again they are outsourced contractors.
