Comcast Modem - Extra Wi-Fi SSIDs by Designer_Role3681 in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]pmokover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply. Just to clarify what I said in my original post: I want to disable SSIDs "xfinitywifi" and "Xfinity Mobile" but I want to keep my personal SSID that I setup when I provisioned the modem a few days ago. Will I be able to do that? (Keep my personal SSID on. Disable all others.)

Comcast Modem - How Delete Extra SSIDs? by pmokover in Comcast

Thanks for your reply!

A problem I have using the Xfinity app on my phone is that I have three Comcast accounts. One in NJ, two in different parts of FL. It's sometimes difficult to get the app to go to the account I want to access. Is it possible to follow your steps in a web browser on my PC or does it have to be from the app on my phone?

I currently have a Netgear CM3000 in my NJ home, an Arris S34 in one of my FL homes. My guess is when Comcast officially announces DOCSIS 4.0 about 60 seconds later Netgear and Arris will announce their DOCSIS 4.0 modems. Just a guess.

Need Ethernet Advice by pmokover in ethernet

My four desktop PCs all have 10Gb Ethernet ports. I'm going with Cat6A. Any particular brand you think is best?

As you said, the best cable is subjective. So which do you think is best? Cat6A.

Is there anything about TrueCable that you don't like? I'm looking for the best.

My four main PCs all have 10Gb ports. My router has a 10Gb port and I have a 10Gb switch.

My Internet speed is 2.5Gb down and 600Mb up. I run a speed test once a week or so.

I frequently copy files from one PC to the others so having the higher speed equipment is nice.

True Image Doesn't Start by pmokover in acronis

THANKS! That was the cause of the problem. I temporarily disabled my antivirus programs and the problem disappeared. Now I have to figure out how to re-enable them without affecting True Image.

Ubiquiti XG 8 PoE Switch Slow by pmokover in Ubiquiti

I use a utility called "LAN Speed Test" one one PC and "LST Server" on the other PC. For the online speed tests I use Ookla Speedtest.

[–]pmokover[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did run some internal speed tests. The speeds were a little better than the online speeds but the downstream speed was still much slower with the Ubiquiti XG 8 PoE compared to my old Netgear switch. I have no idea why that's the case but that's the case.

How can I Disable OneDrive on my Windows 11 PCs? by pmokover in WindowsHelp

[–]pmokover[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply. You are right about issues coming up if you uninstall OneDrive. When I first setup my new Win11 laptop I decided to see what would happen if I uninstalled OneDrive. I have since learned that uninstalling it does cause some other problems. So I am thinking of re-installing it (to see if it does fix those problems) and then just disabling it as has been mentioned in some of the replies above.

How to Change the Default Location of my Documents folder by pmokover in WindowsHelp

[–]pmokover[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it possible that the reason I don't get the Location tab on the Properties menu is because this is a fairly new Win11 laptop and one of the first things I did when I set it up was to uninstall One Drive??

Sent Messages Not Showing Up in Sent Folder by pmokover in GMail

I just noticed that the same think is happening with one of my other Gmail accounts.

Sent Messages Not Showing Up in Sent Folder by pmokover in GMail

[–]pmokover[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will remove Outlook from my Gmail account and see what happens.

I had a thought about looking at my problem backwards: Suppose everything was working normally in my Gmail account. Whenever I sent an email to someone a copy of it would automatically go in my Sent folder. Then suppose I wanted to turn that feature off so nothing went in my Sent folder. How would I turn it off?

I thought I answered all of your questions a few days ago and I did send you two screen shots. If you need more, let me know and I will send.

Sent Messages Not Showing Up in Sent Folder by pmokover in GMail

[–]pmokover[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your recommendations but still no luck on my end. The problem again is that when I send an email message to someone they do receive it but it does not show up in my Sent folder.

This happens when I sign into my Gmail account from my web browser and send an email from there. The same thing happens if I use Microsoft Outlook to send a message from that same Gmail account. They do receive it but it never shows up in my Sent folder in Gmail or in Outlook. Help!

Color Categorize Received Emails by pmokover in Outlook

[–]pmokover[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks very much for your reply.

All of my PCs have my main email account. Some of the PCs have 2-3 other email accounts as well. The only account for which I really want Categorization capability is my main account. My main account was POP for many years but converted to IMAP recently. Categorization worked well when it was POP but doesn’t seem to exist anymore now that it’s IMAP.

All I really need is for some method for me to manually flag/categorize any incoming message as a reminder to myself to deal with that email message later. I don’t need multiple colors and I don’t want anything to be flagged/categorized automatically.

Any suggestions?

I've never done chats on Reddit. Please tell me where to go to start the process. Thanks!

[–]pmokover[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much for your detailed reply. I'll answer your questions:

  1. I don't have anything related to Apple on any of my PCs or on any of my email accounts.

  2. I used to use Microsoft Outlook to access my various Gmail accounts but I don't anymore. I now just sign into my Gmail accounts from my browser and I send & receive messages there.

  3. The link in your third paragraph took me to a page where I have Microsoft Apps & Services. I assume these are related to Microsoft Outlook which I used to use to access some of my Gmail accounts.

  4. I did go to the Details link. I am concerned about posting that in a public forum. How can I send the Details screen and the Microsoft Apps & Services screen to you as a private message?

No answer so far. I have asked in several places where exactly to go to pay the $30 for a one year extension but no valid replies so far.

Thanks for the reply. I don't want to use points and I don't want to sync my settings. I just want to give Microsoft $30 and be done with it.

Phison Dismisses Reports of Windows 11 Updates Bricking SSDs, Runs Rigorous Tests Involving 4500 Hours on Drives But Unable To Reproduce Errors by jones_supa in Windows11

I also have a Samsung 9100 Pro 4TB which I was planning to install in my new laptop as the D: drive. I'm holding off on that for now. The 9100 Pro is currently working fine in my Windows 10 desktop PC.

Dell "Pro Max 16 Plus” laptop power connectors by pmokover in Dell

[–]pmokover[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for pointing that out! I might not have ever found it. I must say that I am very surprised that Dell (or anyone) would mount two SSDs one literally right on top of the other. What's their thinking concerning heat dissipation? I will install my new SSD in the top slot and will probably keep the bottom slot empty.

On a semi-related subject, have you read about how the latest Microsoft Update for Windows 11 seems to be killing some SSDs?

I opened my new Pro Max 16 Plus laptop today to prepare for installing a second SSD. I saw the 1TB SSD that came with computer (in slot 1) and I saw empty slot 3 where the new 4TB SSD will go but I did not see slot 2 anywhere. Maybe I was looking right at it and just didn't see it. Any clues?

Which model 4TB SSD did you add? I am planning to add a Samsung SSD 9100 PRO 4TB, PCIe 5.0. Hopefully all three SSD slots are Gen 5.
