[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 576237, member: 24285"] [ATTACH=CONFIG]224843._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]224844._xfImport[/ATTACH] Internet Upgrade First a new ASUS RT-AC68U 1900 Dual Band Router And then upgraded my internet service - upped my radio to a 5G unit (was 2.4) and upped my package from silver to gold for $20 more per month ($59-79) to go from 6 Mbps to 10 Mbps. For rural areas that's good. No high speed. This is roof top radio dish - often mistakenly referred to as satellite service, I suppose because the receiver looks like the TV satellite system which was also have. But it is line of site to a tower that sends us our signal. I'd like to say it was to access Nikonites better - but the real motive was to video chat with the grandkids better. Remains to be seen if our investment will pay off. I am getting close to the promised speed (actually hit 11.01 download on the tablet in a test - never got much more than 5.5 when I was on the 6 Mbps service. Now to see if they live up to their name as an ISP = Internet Sometimes Provider. Not uncommon to lose service for a day or three. BTW that blue USB Drive is an older USB2 300 GB Seagate - plugged into the router. It has about 43,000+ of my photos on it. That exercise really taught me that I need to work on my photo cataloguing and coding system. I need to tag and rate images. And store JPG's separately from Raws. Managing even 40,000+ photos is not that much fun. [/QUOTE]
