All I will say is that I am using Win 7 and I also have Win 10 on my computer, Win 10 is pretty confusing and I have to revert to Win 7 anytime I am stumped. Win 10 may be superior to Win 7 but I don't think I will be alive to figure out it out. Still vote for Win 7 but I am trying.

That is what I was thinking. The Frost Line for water pipes is 36 inches in Maryland, not sure if there is a requirement for other lines.

Yes, that is just to the road, then across the road and another approx. 200 feet. Signal looks good no atten. or amplifier, that is what I like best. Not sure how far below the ground they will bury it, the tech said he thought 6 inches. Guess that is good enough. Hope to be home when they do...

Update Comcast arrived at 9:45 am and left at 4:00 pm. They removed the amplifier in the basement and removed the 6 db pad off the Modem. They temporarily ran a cable 225 feet from the road to the house presently lying on the ground. This cable will wind up underground within the week. It was...

Comcast tried to determine if a problem was on their end, they said they could not detect a problem on their end. Have a tech coming tomorrow morning. As to the surge protector, I have one on the AC power connectors, nothing on any coax cables that I know of. Just like a "toothache" since I...

Okay, I found Ethernet cable and hooked up to the Router to LT /////// P 20 Down 49 Up 12.1. Ethernet cable and hooked up to the Modem.to LT///////////////// P 18 Down 34 Up 12.1 Since I did the test, the only thing I can say at this point is the weather is much warmer quite a bit...

Update, everything is gone to hell. My Laptop is running so damn slow that I went to my desktop that is running Win 7. It is very very old and I wanted to try to finish my TurboTax forms and it said I needed to upgrade my browser to Exp 11. I did it and started to download from Microsoft Exp 11...

Did a speed test Comcast that is with my laptop about 15 feet from the R/M only wood between it and the laptop. What do you think The second set of number are for the Desktop. Comcast has a new Beta Speed Test and using Chrome is much better than Explorer test. Ping: 49 Down: 45.7 Up: 12.2...

Thanks BigBear. I purchased the Surfboard Modem about a year ago at Best Buy if they are so out of date, I am surprised they are still selling that old of stock. Will drop by Comcast.

Okay, I am running Windows 7. I am using a Arris Surfboard SB6141 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem and I am using a Netgear N300 Wireless Router WNR2000v3. Lately I am losing my internet connection for short periods of time. When I go to look at the Modem, all of the lights on the front appear to be...

Sitting in my Living Room Laptop on Lap and turned on the Sunday Night Football Game Ravens/Steelers. Was watching on Baltimore Channel 11, when I turned on the Laptop, my signal went away thought nothing of it until I turned off the LT and the game came back on. Do not have cable, getting my TV...

Thanks BigbearJedi, what you have said, is so far above my pay grade that I will scrap doing anything. Chances of me screwing up are too great. Will just plod along with Win 7 and wait until my computer fails.

Thank you for your response. Now, what do I need to do to do this? Do I need to buy a program? Do I virtual program Win 7 or Win 10? As you can see I know nada.

Can I have both and switch between each? I have tried Win 10 and get very frustrated with it and have gone back to Win 7 several times. What do I need to do to have both on the computer, do I need to put one on a floppy?
