What can I say about Logitech? Awesome. Crisp. Loud. Rock-on! After setting them up for a client, we blasted out music and disturbed the neighbors. The music quality was professional and solid. Well worth the money. Would buy again. A++

After years of using Windows products, I can attest that Windows 10 has improved since its first release. Engineers are slowly working out the kinks, although it will never be able to touch the likes of Windows 7. But, it's the times, and you must move on. Welcome, Windows 10.

This 14' Insignia NS-PNW5614 Cat-6 cable makes it easy to connect your compatible PC, Mac, DSL/cable modem or other peripheral to a 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet network. The gold-plated contacts help ensure optimal signal transfer.
 

Can the 14’ cat 6 network cable be used effectively to stream amazon and Netflix from a smart tv instead of using WiFi?

Dear Anonymous,

As long as you see an ethernet connection on the back of your smart TV. Then the answer is a resounding "YES." Keep in mind that an ethernet connection provides a more stable connection to the Internet than wireless does. Most smart TVs are built with Wi-Fi abilities, but some models do have an ethernet plug.

Best of luck,

I have a Xbox that runs slow with wireless internet, well it run faster with Ethernet.

Dear Nightfox21,

Yes, you are right. Ethernet provides a more stable connection, with less interference from outside sources to knock it out. I would highly suggest you do this for video-gaming and streaming services. You'll thank me later.

Hope that helps,

CAN THIS CONNECT MY BROTHER [MFC-295CN] PRINTER TO MY HP LAPTOP?

Dear Chipsgalore;

Nope, not going to work. As an alternative, you could plug the ethernet cable from your Brother MFC-295CN into your wireless router. Now that would work. But trying to get it to plug in as a printer cable will not do it.

Hope that helps.

What is the difference between the wireless laser mouse and the Wireless Optical Mouse

Dear Jo;

This is a good question. Both optical and laser mice are now able to hit high dpi marks, the average user will never notice the difference. I would say since they both use light as their main source, you can count it as a tie in my book. Both devices are worth investing in and owning. Go for it.

does this printer only scan from the flatbed or can I use the auto doc feed to scan multiple pages at once?

Dear Scanning;

Yes, according to Brother's website, it claims this is possible. "You can set up the scanner using either the automatic document feeder or directly from the scanner glass." You would just put your pieces in the ADF and let the scanning tool find it. I don't see why this wouldn't work. Hope you enjoy your Brother. It's a nice, affordable machine.

Get scanning.

Will this print on picture paper?

Dear Boots;

Sure, put in the good, quality photo paper. I don't see a problem with it. Put the photo paper, though, in the bottom tray, not the feeder.

Does this have automatic renewal and can you turn it off?

Dear GtGt;

The answer is YES. But, in the end, as with other antivirus software, they might charge you more. Beware. This is a tactic in marketing with any software program: they get you to like the product, and then the next year they charge you more. Shop around for a better price. Do the one-year rule: try it for a year and then buy it again outright. No credit cards. No debit cards. Smart buying.
