Washington - Want to protect your computer equipment while keeping it clean at the same time? Consider covering your printer, keyboard, and other exposed computer gear when not in use - especially if you'll be away for some time. Dust can be not only difficult to remove completely from computer equipment - enough of it can cause overheating of some components. You can buy special equipment covers at the store or you can just use a household towel.

Washington - Having internet connectivity issues with your wireless router? The majority of problems can be solved by restarting your router and modem. Turn both devices off, if they are separate, and then turn the modem back on, waiting for green lights of connectivity. Then power up your router.
