    Weak bluetooth dongle

    I am trying to use my Playstation 4 controller with my PC (which has HDMI out to my TV about 10-15 feet away). I bought the Kinivo BTD-400 and have horrible range from it. I contacted the manufacturer and they sent me a replacement, same issue. It can go across the room up to about 15 feet, but...

    What to do... (I hate Verizon)

    So the router worked perfectly as an access point, what didn't work was taking a CAT6 connection and then becoming a switch for a wired computer on the other side of my house. I removed all CAT cables and the wifi portion still worked, so to me clearly the wired part isn't working. I disabled...

    What to do... (I hate Verizon)

    Ok, I will definitely try option #1. I think I tried this briefly and then somehow couldn't get it working. I do believe the verizon router is required to work with their service... I find the TP-link menus are pretty confusing, so I tend to have a problem figuring out the exact setting to...

    What to do... (I hate Verizon)

    I've had a 50mbit FIOS connection since July of last year, and results have been so-so. With a huge number of wireless connections (~15) plus 4 wired connections, I seem to have to reboot their router at least once a week. Certain devices like my Nest thermostats, and Chromecast have been a...

    Any other suggestions? I might just grab something off of Amazon to make sure she doesn't have to wait 2-3 weeks :c/

    Need a budget laptop

    Thanks for the recommendation. I was hoping for an i3 and a decent screen size, so this could fit the bill. Only downside is the 9 day build time... oof!

    Need a budget laptop

    1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Office applications, printing/scanning. Looking for a laptop! 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? $400-500 would be ideal... 3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state...

    Ordering cables to output to LED tv

    Ok, thanks. I'll order this cable and give it a shot. http://www.amazon.com/Mediabridge-ULTRA-HDMI-Cable-Foot/dp/B008DW9H56/

    Ordering cables to output to LED tv

    Quick and perhaps dumb question - can I output to my TV with just an HDMI cable, or will I need a separate cable to carry the audio signal? The PC has a GTX 660 video card, and is going into an Onkyo receiver. It is about 40 feet away when I consider wrapping it behind furniture, etc.

    Budget desktop PC for basic stuff & graphics work

    Ok, so all I need is a single HMDI to a VGA cable... nice. They sell one for a crisp $38. I'm sure I can get one for <$10

    Budget desktop PC for basic stuff & graphics work

    I think the Dell agent is an idiot. After 20 minutes I get the sense that they don't know what they are talking about, and are going to get me to clone the same desktop onto 2 monitors using a splitter... I was under the impression that you need a video card that can handle two different...

    Budget desktop PC for basic stuff & graphics work

    Almost positive without looking... they are really old. Edit: chatting with Dell now... looks like you can run a second VGA with the HDMI splitter cable!

    Budget desktop PC for basic stuff & graphics work

    Fair enough. I didn't see dual outputs for VGA or DVI - am I missing it somewhere? I was hoping to get a look at the back of the tower to see what was there, but they only have a single photo of the front.
