do you happen to still have the paper work that came with it like the directions and the instructions manual that will have all your default info in it and how to reset it. If not look on the bottom for the model and google that you should be able to go to the manufacturer site and find the manuals. Did you set up your router originally with it connected to a desktop computer, in other words which pc did you install the software on? The router is setup on the family PC not my Laptop. Unplugging the router (and modem if one) itself from power and powering down all the computers, then power up the modem if you have cable first then after a while power up the router and once it is fully up then power up the various computers, often makes a big difference. I think we have a modem and a router for Xbox and laptops. are you just using the Vista built in firewall? Yes.I'm using the windows firewall. what are you using is it cable or dsl or what for internet? My son says it's cable/DSL internet. have you done all your windows updates? Yes.Except for three optional ones. I'm confused about resetting the router. That would be on the main computer. Will this help my laptop internet connection?

ok...another question. Please. So, I just went to my local quilt store and asked for Kona Black. (for the August block). They carry Kona Bay, and had black. However, is the Kona Black that is being requested for the August block a Kona black by Kaufman?? I'm more than willing to purchase whatever is required, but I guess I need more specific information!

Thank you, Hareball. I usually don't do scrappy. I started quilting last year so I don't really have a stash. However, I did have some red and blue left over from our July block last year. And when I bought polka dots for the May block I went with red and blue to cover both lotto blocks. The solids are just Kona cotton from Hobby Lobby. My Hobby Lobby will cut 1/8 yards (or 4.5" by wof), which works well for the lotto. When I started last year, it took me awhile to figure out how to economically get my hands on fabric for the lotto - - it's all a learning process! As far as the July lotto, here's how I constructed the block: 1) make my HST's 2) complete each row by sewing squares 1 and 2 together to make a 2 patch, then sew squares 3 and 4 together, then join the two 2 patches together to complete the row. 3) once all four rows are completed, I then join the top two rows together, then the bottom two rows, and lastly the final seam across the middle. I find this method works best for me. I also press and square up (if needed) between each step. Another method would be to make 4 four patches and then join together. I'm so glad you're doing the lotto, too! Can't wait to see your July blocks!

Did you run an updated malwarebytes scan? That would be my first choice. Windows 10 really doesn't require a lot of Defrag and registry cleaning like the older versions of Windows, it's all taken care of internally. Are you on wireless connection? If so you can try running an ethernet cable directly from the router to the computer and see what kind of difference in speed you are. With a wireless connection it will fluctuate with movement around the house. What speed test are you using? I like speedtest.Net
