Thanks glasskutter, You said. "If you connect this router to public wifi only, it is set up in WISP mode. Each time you change hotels, you have to manually access the router using the browser interface and connect that hotel's wireless internet to the router. Correct? You then connect your...

Thanks, glasskuter. You asked, "Are you trying to use it as your only fixed router in your home(wireless router mode)?" From time to time I need to travel and stay in a hotel and use my printer on public WiFi. I do not wish to have my computers discoverable over public WiFi; therefore, I use...

Windows 11 24H2 (OS build 26100.3476) The first thing is that I am almost a total idiot when it comes to networking. This makes internet searches more difficult when it comes to finding resulting in information I can use. I have a TP LINK TL-WR802N travel router which is currently wirelessly...

Thanks, you may have nailed the password reset disk. I am not ready to abandon the original intent yet. I am thinking out of the box for reasonable solutions for a little longer. regards, caffeine

The ISO I mounted came from a downloaded file, not from a flash drive. It was displayed in This PC as a drive. Therefore, whether or not a flash drive is plugged in is moot in this example. You said, "Putting the contents of a CD on a flash drive is no challenge, but the PC will recognize the...

An example of my intent is an option offered in Control Panel to create a password recovery (or reset -- I don't remember for sure). When attempting to perform this task, a CD is required with no flash drive option. There are other times and places where I have encountered the same lack of...

In File Explorer would work but, I would rather see it displayed in This PC to provide a "one stop shopping" experience. Once again maybe titling at windmills. regards, caffeine

Here is the deal. If you mount an ISO, This PC shows the ISO as a drive on the computer. The mounted drive is independent of any devices plugged in to the computer hence, no need for having a device plugged in. If I can accomplish my goal then, a virtual CD player would Show up in This PC with...

Thanks garlin, I checked the link you provided. Maybe I am tilting at windmills -- But -- I desire is to accomplish this without an external device. My research to date indicates that the mounting requires an ISO for mounting. I was hopeful that a virtual CD player would be a solution but, so...

If my understanding is correct, a docking station is an external device to mount the computer on. If that is correct, I would not be able to use that option when away from home while on battery power. If you are referring to a USB hub, I thought there is a conflict when accessing multiple ports...

My computer has no CD player and, does not have enough USB ports to easily perform all of the tasks I occasionally tackle. I have encountered instances where a flash drive is not an option. The only available option is a CD player. Can I mount an external USB flash drive as a CD player? EDIT for...

You betcha. I am torn between Clarke and Asimov. How about you?

Scifi authors have a tendency to be insightful.

Finally!!! All other issues have been put to rest. I found time to tinker with ShareX, Paint Shop pro, and screenpresso. Screenpresso became the winner. I liked it so much that I opted to upgrade to the pro version. The combination of Screenpresso Pro and Snipit work great. With a little...

I haven't forgotten about this. Family health and car issues have been my top priorities. I will pursue this topic when the top priorities have been put to rest. regards, caffeine
