Entire network drops when wifi extenders are disconnected

My home network consists of an ISP modem connected to an Airport Extreme base station, which serves as my wifi hub.

I have two Airport Expresses hardwired with CAT6 to the Extreme and set to extend the range of the wireless network. (Due to the construction materials and layout of the house, I cannot use them wirelessly to extend the network) Last weekend, wanting to increase the speed for my PS4, I unplugged one of the Express cables and hooked up my PS4. It worked fine for a few days, but now every time I unhook either of the Express cables, my entire wireless network loses its internet connection.

Can anyone help me figure out why this is happening, and how to best configure this network to allow me to hotswap one of the Expresses with my PS4 without pissing off my wife?? Thanks!

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
