I see signal from fritzbox 7490, 7390, 7170, 7330 etc whatever else I see on my smartphone right now -.- Why would you do that? Can you edit the settings yourself on the fritzbox? Just rename it, to anything you like. Also, if you just save the network and remove all other links you have with any other wifi, there should be no trouble.. In the case of interference, try and check if your devices can see 5G networks, then set your router to 5Ghz mode and there should be 0 interference, since it has much shorter range (through walls) and more channels than the standard 2.4Ghz networks. Maybe this reply is not what you mean, in that case, I'm not really sure what you're trying to accomplish here. | ||

If you really want to be shielded, cover your walls in something that conducts electric current (Tin foil should actually work, and that is not even a joke). A faraday cage is very good at isolating electromagnetic radiation, and that is how wlan works. | ||

wlan ranges from fritzboxes are just OP. ~15walls or ~150m away and you still have internet. I am not talking about my fritzbox but all other in my environment. | ||

If you go outside, no internet access. wlan ranges from fritzboxes are just OP. ~15walls or ~150m away and you still have internet. I am not talking about my fritzbox but all other in my environment. But noone can connect to your fritzbox if you have a good password on it, so why does it matter? What is so uncomfortable for you? I understand you might think that it is "unsafe" or "easy to hack into", but WPA2 is not that easy to crack if you have a decent randomized password. | ||

I initially got it for a different subject and got used to it but I know the struggle which is why I won’t simply replace the screen but rather get a new laptop. I am surprised that prices seem to be much more stable than for desktop hardware though. I dropped about 1k on my current laptop 4 years ago and expected to easily get something much better now in the same price range, but apparently I was mistaken. I got my XPS 12 "used" on Amazon for ~$850. Full price was $1700s. Might've been a refurb, I don't remember. Can consider doing that to save a lot. | ||

My TV has this problem, it prefers to connect 5Ghz and 3% signal than 2,4Ghz and 20%. 20% signal is enough and stable in my case (40mbit/s possible). You can see all informations on fritz.box/ edit: 3% is an imposition while 20% is fluently. | ||

So i got a problem with Firefox while browsing teamliquid.net. If i have Addblock disabled (which i usually have), the memory usage of my adobe player just sky rockets when i am on TL. But only when i am on TL. Works fine with other websites. It goes higher and higher till my Firefox crashes. If i enable addblock or just stop loading the website at some point (When you can see text etc but Advertisements and graphics are not loaded yet) it works, altough a little slower. Does anyone have an idea what causes this (i guess some Adds do?) and how to fix it? Edit: It's actually the video player (adobe player) that has increasing memory and crashes, forcing firefox to crash as well | ||

This has been reported several times. I have this problem since videos (as ads, O2 player) are showing on right sidebar. My Chrome and FF have strong problems with it while IE works fluently. | ||

My brother in law filled his SSD to capacity, which I think caused the boot errors. I plugged the SSD into my computer and removed a lot of the videos to make space. Now I'm wondering if I can repair it while it's plugged into my computer or alternatively by booting his computer from a windows USB and having it automatically fix. Any advice? | ||

Or do I need my old windows 8.1 key to verify that I had Windows before I can re-install Windows 10? | ||

 Wondering if I have to reformat or if there's some other way to fix it. I get the boot error, "No bootable media something" on a black screen when trying to boot from the SSD. | ||

Or do I need my old windows 8.1 key to verify that I had Windows before I can re-install Windows 10? Last time I looked into this, I found that Microsoft's activation servers learn about your particular machine when you upgrade to Windows 10. If you then in the future want to re-install Windows 10, you do so without entering a product key. Windows 10 will activate after the installation completes because the activation servers will recognize your machine. If you want to install the "free" Windows 10 on a different machine, you first have to install Windows 7 or 8 or 8.1 and then do the upgrade to make the activation servers learn about that different machine. On a desktop PC, the motherboard is supposedly what's used to identify your machine. The other parts can all be changed and the activation servers will still recognize the PC as being the same machine. | ||

I get the boot error, "No bootable media something" on a black screen when trying to boot from the SSD.There are command line tools to maybe fix things on the installation media. Search for "fixboot" and "bootrec" to try to find a guide for that stuff. EDIT: New PCs use "UEFI" boot and adding that to the search might be important to not find guides that are only for old BIOS and "MBR" boot problems. | ||

After getting the latest geforce driver required for star wars battlefront, the game crashed. Then I tried playing csgo, and it kept freezing when I joined a game. So I deleted nvidia drivers, except for audio/physicx because they didn't uninstall for some reason. I reinstalled the driver version I had before. Csgo still froze. So I finally deleted audio/physix, still froze. Then I reinstalled the same driver, this time with corresponding audio/physix. Still froze. Then I changed value.txt stuff, disabled multicore rendering, still froze. Then I deleted drivers, and restarted PC. This is when the screen went blank. I tried taking out and jumping CMOS, booting safe mode, booting with onboard gpu, cleaned PC, and even did the shift spam on blank screen and windows + u to try to get to control panel, as well as ctrl + alt + del. Any ideas on fixing it? | ||

Any ideas on fixing it? It seems you have tried alot of things, which are not the cause of the issue  It's quite possible you have messed with the registry. The cause for the uninstall error is unknown, you have done alot of things, which could cause issues so the best thing you can do is revert back to an older working setup. (preferably before you installed the latest drivers). To do this : During boot press F8 --> Advanced boot options --> Repair your computer --> System Restore --> Date from XXX time ago. Or During boot press F8 --> Advanced boot options --> Last good known configuration. Also try and run malwarebytes(.org) & your virus scanner for a full sweep, since the black booting screen cán be malware aswell (although reviewing your case, it is probably not in this instance). | ||

The last good known config also led to blank screen. The system restore says to remove media before continuing, even though only peripherals and monitor are plugged in. | ||
