Re: router suggestions

2016-07-20 Thread David via Talk 
If you find the signals to be better, when following the suggested 
testing downstairs, there does exist a solution that may help you out on 
poor wireless connections.


As indicated in an earlier message, the wireless signals can be affected 
by numerous conditions in your home. Is it a concrete building, signals 
will have a harder time in coming through, than in a wooden building. 
Electrical and electronic equipment that sits in between you and the 
router, may have their impact. Metal of any kind, like water pipes, or 
even the casing on appliances, could disturb the signals. And also other 
wireless activity could be playing its role.


OK, you may be on your own, with noone else accessing your wireless 
network. But if your nextdoor has a wireless router - which she likely 
does - your router and her will compete over the access. If now you have 
ten nextdoors, with each their router, and maybe an untold number of 
wireless units connecting to the different access points, there will be 
pretty crowded in the atmosphere around you. These other activities may 
for uncertain reasons be more conflicting to you, upstairs in your home. 
Trying to move to another spot, even upstairs, may prove slightly helpful.


Of course the router's positioning may have almost everything to say. If 
possible, try to move it to a higher position in the room, like on top 
of a bookshelf, to bring it somehow closer to upstairs. If it sits near 
the outer wall, move it more into the room. If possible, try placing it 
near a door, since the door material will be thinner than a wall, hence 
signals will creep through much easier. Does your router sit next to - 
or in any way near - any electrical equipment like appliances, even if 
these are on the other side of a wall, you may again want to reconsider 
the positioning of the router.


OK, so what if all of this fails? I do know some people have used 
equipment that includes an indoor antenna, running underneath the 
cealing. To what extent you can get an antenna to work just out of the 
air, or if your router has a connector for external antennas, you would 
have to investigate on your own. Perhaps your router already is equipped 
with an antenna right on the box, and simply angling it to a different 
position may have the desired effect.


But recently, I read about something called a wireless repeater, booster 
or duplicator. I do see different terms used, so gave you the three of 
them. This is a small unit, that you plug into an empty wall-socket (to 
power it), and pretty much should be up running. What it does, is to 
pick up any wireless signals, and give them a boost or amplification, 
before throwing them into the air again. It seemingly has no effect on 
the speed on your net, but reports are that it does have a great impact 
on the signal capacity on your network. One report even told it to work 
from 1st to 3rd floor in a residential home. From what I can see, prices 
would range from something around 50 US dollars, and upward. You may 
argue that this is almost the price of a new router. If you desire to go 
for the router, do so. It may help you, in case your new router happens 
to have a better wireless transmitter onboard. Yet, I am ready to think 
it may not help you much, should any of the above concerns be the case. 
A new router would have to deal with just as many disturbances, and the 
signals will have to go through exactly the same walls and materials.


A booster, you could put where the signals start to go low. Take your 
wireless unit - like your cellphone, and walk around in the house. Stop 
up on certain spots, and test the signals over a short period of time. 
Or, through the next week or so, try using the unit for prolonged 
activity on different locations around the house. Be fair. Don't base on 
what you feel or think, but really do notice what is actually going on. 
Does the signals in any of the locations come through just fine, then to 
drop all the certain? Or do they seem to be steadily ongoing, but with a 
lower strength? The answers may help you in determining where to locate 
a repeater or booster. Be sure to place it in a location, just before 
the signals go poor. Does the booster get poor signals, it will boost 
poor signals; so you most definitely want it to pick up on the very best 
signals, and have them boosted.


These would be only a few considerations to keep in mind. Hopefully you 
will find them of any use, or others reading this rather long message 
may have benefitted in making their wireless network more accessible. As 
a final reminder, keep in mind that if you live in an apartment 
building, and place your router near the wall you share with your 
nextdoor, they may have done the exactly same thing on their side of 
that wall. In such a case, you both will have trouble. Or, maybe your 
nextdoor has left his router upstairs, so as not to be disturbed by your 
router, and that is why you happen to have the trouble

Re: can't review text in forms

2016-07-20 Thread Tom Kingston via Talk 
For what it's worth I'm just not seeing this. Try IE and see if you get 
the same results. Sometimes one works better than the other. Although I 
use IE 99.9% of the time.


You might also take a look at your installed apps and ask yourself if 
you really need them. I have very few. And those which I don't use very 
often I disable and enable them when I need them.


And finally, I typically don't leave a pile of windows open because I 
might go back to them eventually. Multi-tasking isn't really all it's 
cracked up to be. It makes your system do a juggling act. And the added 
burden of multiple apps running at the same time probably isn't exactly 
a recipe for the best user experience either.


Hth,
Tom

RE: router suggestions

2016-07-20 Thread Andre via Talk 
I think you should test it also downstairs with your iphone. Wi-fi signals,
the walls, pipes, etc. could be enterfering with the type of signal you're
receiving upstairs. So before tossing your lynksis, if you haven't already
done so, then make sure to do the speed test with your iphone closest to the
router.
I've experienced the same thing as well.

OK, i need to get a new router.  Perhaps some of you guys can comment, 
perhaps it's me, but the quality of routers seems to be really going 
down hill.  I've had this linksys for about 2 years and it's nearly 
shot.  Put it this way, we measured the speed of my cable modem, it's 60 
megs download, and when i tested it upstairs with speedtest on my iphone 
it went down to 20 megs.  I really suspect the signal is just not 
getting out.  I need to fix this once  and for all.  Any ideas?

Tab once to go down into the list. Up/Down within the list. Use the 
Application key to open the context menu on any item.


If you don't see all of this just tab to the More Details button and 
press space bar. that should stick.

you open a tab, you will have to tab to the items displayed on the page.
 Sometimes I have been able to read the info with arrow keys and at

can't review text in forms

2016-07-20 Thread Jed Barton via Talk 

Hey guys,

Alright, this is getting super old, and i'mr eally tired of it.  9 times 
out of 10, using the latest firefox, we 9.4, and windows 10, when i am 
typing in a form, i often can't review or edit text.  I should be able 
to while in an edit field arrow up and down to review the text, and edit 
it.  Most of the time i can't.  I'm getting really tired of having to 
re-focus windows in the hopes it might work. Does anyone know the reason 
for this, and if there is a fix?  No reason why this should be happening

Thunderbird Focus issues

2016-07-20 Thread Jed Barton via Talk 

Hey guys,

OK, well on a win 10 machine, the latest window-eyes, and the latest 
thunderbird, it seems my thunderbird focus problem is back.
When i am typing a message, if i go up and down with the arrow keys, it 
says nothing.
I have to constantly shift tab from subjet back to the body, and even 
then it sort of half focuses.  This is completely unacceptable.'  Has 
anyone else experienced this, and is there any fix at all?  This is 
literally taking minutes away from every day being productive, and it 
shouldn't be happening.  Even things like maximizing the windo does 
nothing.  It'll read a line, then go out of focus.  Any ideas?

Re: excel commands

2016-07-20 Thread David via Talk 

The Format menu, you reach by Alt-o.

Auto-sizing the columns, you do by the following key sequence:
Alt-O, C, A.
Auto-sizing the row, consequently would be:
Alt-O, R, A.

Hope you find this helpful.

David

Sound forge Pro 11 app update.

2016-07-20 Thread Tom Kingston via Talk 

Version 1.1.2.

1. If you had more than one file open and used Control-Tab or 
Control-Shift-Tab to move between them the field name (file name) of the 
one you were leaving was voiced followed by the one you were going to. 
This has been fixed.


2. A few additional under the hood performance tweaks were made.

Enjoy,
Tom

Off topic question - latest Skype

2016-07-20 Thread Reg Webb via Talk 
Hi all

On installing the latest Skype, I got an error message about possible ad
blocking software in Internet Explorer, and I could not sign in.  Going
back to an earlier version has fixed this, but I wondered if this was
behavior others had experienced with the latest Skype?

For now, I have to keep hitting "not now" when the program is so
desperately inviting me to do what it laughably calls "upgrade".
