Ellie, Go for you. I took the liberty of tagging the other threads here for you. Now members will have a single portal to all four of your same topic threads, and you will only have to keep one alive if need be. One thread is historically the best way to go.

Katy, Sure hope you enjoy that new Wireless Keyboard/Mouse. What Brand did you buy? I've always liked the Logitech Line the best. I started with the original Logitech 3 Button Wireless Mouse (still have it). My first Wireless Keyboard (not sure of the brand name) was Infrared and it was horrible, had to have it pointing towards the receiver at all times. I have the MX5500 Combo hooked up to my Desktop Computer right now, best Logitech has ever made (it's Bluetooth and has a great range)(very pricey, think it cost me around $170)! Once you've tried Wireless Keyboard/Mouse Combos you'll never go back! BTW, Windows 10 Updates are nothing to worry about. They've been coming for many, many years and will continue to come. I've had a couple minor problems, but really nothing to get excited about. I have Windows 10 on 5 Laptops, 1 Desktop and 1 Tablet, all running great! It's good that Microsoft is staying on top of any problems! When there are just so many different varieties of computers out there with so many different components, you really just have to wonder how they don't have more problems then they do? You've really got to give them credit! Since you're going to Buy a New All-In-One Desktop, I'd just go ahead and get it with Windows 10 Preinstalled! I'm sure there won't be any problems with a New Computer w/Windows 10. Most of the problems are with Older Computers that are being Upgraded to Windows 10 and the older software that's already installed.

Hopefully the new modem/router will take care of the problem. I would just use the Built-In Router. Too much of a hassle to try and Disable the Built-In Router! Just make sure you have a Secure Password Set up. You may also want to check around the internet to see if your ISP is trying to pull a Comcast. The New Comcast Modem/Routers are set up to use your modem to share with other Comcast Customers. Comcast doesn't tell you about this but when someone is close to your Network they'll see an Xfinity SSID (Hotspot) that's Unsecured. This person can then use your Connection to access the internet. This connection is separate from the connection you're using that is secured! It's a Dual Band Router and they have it set as a Guest account without your knowledge. Not 100% sure but I believe you must be a Comcast Customer to be able to use this Guest account (think they'll ask for your Comcast Info). Here is a link that can tell you about what Comcast has done: Xfinity WiFi, and how to shut this feature off! You don't have to let your modem broadcast a Hotspot! I haven't had very good luck with the New Modem/Routers (keep dropping connections) so I just have a Modem and I use my own Router. I have a Linksys EA6400 Dual Band Router and I have a Guest Account set with an easy to remember Password. The other Account Password is much harder to remember. I use the Guest Account forthe Guests at my house! Everyone always asks right away, what's your password? They want to connect their Phones, Tablets and Laptops!

Just a thought: I was having trouble using my VUDU Account on my Smart TV in my Bedroom. My wife uses Netflix all the time in there and the one time I try to watch a movie from my VUDU account it would run for 30 seconds and then the screen would go Green (also pixelated). After many hours of trying to figure out what the problem was, I figured out that the Software had been up dated to Accommodate HDX and the TV was only able to play the movies in HD or SD. I wondering if Netflix has a feature where you could adjust the picture resolution like in VUDU. You could then try it at a lower setting. I do have Netflix but have never had any problems. But it may be worth a looking into.
