Cisco router installation in Chiba

This is a building with great views from the top located in Chiba prefecture, Japan.

Today we installed a Cisco 3900 Series router at the customers place in this building.

For router installations we can provide 4G connectivity and a console cable so that the engineer can easily access the configuration terminal. This is useful for troubleshooting and when the router is not accessible because of a couple figuration issue.

Macbook air not booting Tokyo

 

This MacBook air had a weak orange light when the charger was plugged and it was not booting when pressing the power button. It turned out to have a broken motherboarhd / logicboard. After the replacement it is booting without any issues.

Apple would not repair this laptop because it is already 5 years old (2012 model) but it we can repair all MacBook models regardless of the year.

Windows 10 creators update no Wifi Internet multiple driver duplicate Code 12

If after installing creators update internet stops working, open the device manager and check if the drivers are showing errors. Probably you see yellow exclamation marks and multiple entries for the same driver. If you check the error code you will probably have this error [Code 12: This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use.]

This is linked to 945GM chipset, a popular chipset 10 years ago with many intel dual core CPUs.  It seems that it is not fully supported with windows 10 creators update. Hopefully Microsoft will fix this issue.

A possible solution that has been found to work for many people is to plug something into the pcmcia slot. There are cheap usb pcmcia adapters, so getting one of those adapters may be a way to make the laptop work again and get a few extra USB ports. Why inserting a pcmcia card would solve the issue is really weird, but it does.

Another option is to roll back the installation. Press shift key while clicking on restart. Choose troubleshooting and then click on [Go Back To Previous build]. The previous build will only be supported for 18 months, so you may again try after a few months if the creators update is already fixed.

To avoid the creators update from installing automatically you can use the instructions bellow and choose [defer feature updates]

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS network / wifi disconnecting after a few minutes

There are many people having network and wifi issues after upgrading to ubuntu 16.04.

A common problem is that wifi or network stays connected but the browser (firefox, chrome, opera) shows page not found or a similar error after a couple of minutes. Clicking on the network icon and reconnecting usually fixes this but it happens again after one or two minutes.

It seems that there is a bug and IPv6 is creating this issue the solution is to disable IPv6 on your connetion. Most home and business LANs are not using IPv6 so this should be safe.

To disable IPv6 click on the network icon, click on edit conections, choose the connection you are using and click on edit, on the IPv6 tab method dropdown menu choose IGNORE.

This has helped many of our customers. I hope it helps our blog readers too.
