a thread of someone who did it on a satellite
Thanks for the suggestions! I will try them today. I’ve tried the YouTube extender steps Last night, issue I ran into is I don’t pick up a connection when I connect Ethernet on laptop to the LAN ports on satellite. Not sure why, a red cross symbol reflects below the Ethernet port symbol in the Ethernet network Settings on laptop which doesn’t appear if I connect it to one of the LAN ports on the router as a connection is established there. But will try again and all the the other suggestions you posted.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Good luck!
