i've successfully connected the repeater to my main network and the LED on the device is "stable Green".

the access point/SSID appears for a while right after set up and when i tried to connect to it, the error "Can't connect to network" pops up and then soon after the entire access point/SSID just disappeared.

i checked the status of the device through the App and it says everything is OK and the LED on the device is still "stable Green".

Can anyone help?

How do I remove a file in Network Location?,

Skylinestar — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 10:15:44 +0800

This is on Win11.
I don't know why this file is listed on Network Location. Maybe I accidentally click on something.
Properties show that this file is located in my normal Documents folder (local C drive).
It's not a shared file.
How does it even get there?

Anker Soundcore Space One Pro headband replacement, Looking for someone to install it

SirEldo — Sat, 06 Dec 2025 13:42:49 +0800

Hi!

Basically, I have a set of the Anker Soundcore Space One Pro headphones and the headband snapped. It still works, it's just that the headband snapped internally so it's flimsy and wont hold onto your head. Currently checking if this can be covered under warranty but if not, I found a replacement part on replacement part on AliExpress but I'm not 100% sure if I'm able to do this myself as it might need soldering (based on the images of the replacement part).

I can't really find much online about this occurring anywhere online so right now I'm just trying to gather as much info as I can.

Do you have any experience with these headphones and getting the headband replace? Or know anyone that offers services for this kind of replacement?

Please let me know, thanks in advanced!

PSU Repair, Workstation PSU Repair

dcheah — Fri, 05 Dec 2025 12:24:08 +0800

Dear All Forumers,

I have a very old HP Z800 Workstation and its PSU that have gone faulty, and upon checking I can confirmed its just leaking/bulging capacitors in the 850W PSU.

Due to my age... I now have poor eye sight and shaky hands and thus unable to repair on my own.

So I am now looking for someone with Electronic knowledge to repair the PSU. Because getting a refurbished/used PSU is either too expensive or just pure impossible to find.

If anyone have any contacts or recommendations, please PM me directly. As I'm in KL any contacts within Selangor & KL is highly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance and have a nice day.

Cheers...

is it safe to use windows, w/o windows update

Tealifos — Sun, 30 Nov 2025 01:43:40 +0800

hi,
im using windows 10 and so far no issues with it but there too many annoying popup to update to windows 11
i know that windows stop support 10 and we should update it to 11
but im not like pro pc and scared anything bad might happen during the update
reason because previously when i first install windows 11 via media creation tool, it says my pc is not supported due to the cpu amd ryzen 5 5600 which is weird because when i check at amd website it does support windows 11, .since it can't be installed i installed windows 10.

now because too many popup ask to update im tempt to update it but when i check trough pc health check now it says that my TPM is not detected (TPM 2.0 must be supported and enabled on this PC)
if the pc not support i guess there nothing can be done..why is there still popup

need advice ..please help, Time internet 600Mbps with WIFI 7 Router

suns8630 — Sat, 22 Nov 2025 00:20:56 +0800

Hello,

I am having TIME 600mbps connections on my condo.

Wifi signal is Fine over the whole house with this Wi-Fi 7 Router from TIME.

My question as follows:

I need to connect 2 units of NAS on RJ45 in my study room, which does not have RJ45 connections.

And also my Mini PC .. only got a wifi 5 Connection on board ( So to say I could not get max speed on this setup of 600 Mbps. )

at the moment running on speed test, I can only get a max of about 160 Mbps over my 600 Mbps from TIME

so. If I were to add a mesh from TIME ..which I can place this mesh at my study room, to connect my 2 units of Nas, and hopefully also connect my Mini PC over RJ 45 instead of wifi 5 .

refer photo os Time Mesh unit..

Ini mesh got 4 holes to connect RJ45 ...Right ???

I am ok with the 399 budget,,

I just wanna be sure if this will work out for me ..

thank you for your comment reply .

cheers

Error with crossdeviceresume.exe, Having error everytime I turn on/restar

wassap — Tue, 04 Nov 2025 23:49:26 +0800

Everytime I turn on/restart I will have this error pop up. I've looked it up and somehow has to do with phone link app but I'm unable to resolve this issue. Happens when my profile got corrupted for no apparent reason and I manage to fix it using chkdsk /f and sfc /scannow. A few sites I've been to suggest using dism and I've done that with no success. Any help is greatly appreciated. Other than this error the system runs just fine.

Windows 11 Home
Intel Core i9 14900HX
