Since you did not state the problem I agree with above for HARDWARE problems, if on the other hand you have a SOFTWARE problem, there are several people who come to the house for these issues. I cannot find my list, if I do I will reply agaain.

When he said computer repair I thought of hardware problem but upon further review could be either

If it's software and related to Microsoft Office Suite, I can probably help here on the forum. Depends on the problem.

Yes, I should have been more specific. I actually need someone who is experienced with the Hue bridge system operation. My Hue bridge is not working, and I am not sure if it is actually a router problem, cabling issue or the device itself.

- make sure the bridge is connected to your router with an ethernet cable, and the lights are on where it's plugged into the router - make sure it's plugged into an internal port on your router. Some routers have external/WAN ports and internal/LAN ports, they're usually different colors. Try unplugging it from one color port and into the other color port - if you have access to the router, log into it (the router) and see if it's recognizing a device on that port. My router has a "list ports" and "list devices" function

For software problems I recommend Linux Mint, depending on what you are using Windows for. However, after saying that, there are many Linux programs that do the same thing as a Windows program, just different. Linux does not spy on you, there is no Linux corporation, it's free as are most of the programs. The nice thing is, that you can try (via a USB stick) and if you like it you can load it (after you back any files you may want from Windows). I can help (no cost, it's my hobby).

The OP's problem is a Smart control issue, and not a computer problem at all, so it doesn't matter. But it's really not helpful and can be very frustrating and confusing to someone who doesn't know anything about the inner workings of computers, when they're told to switch operating systems. They have the OS they have. They need help working within those parameters. |

Great advice
Thanks to all who offered help with this issue. So, I decided to focus on the router. I discovered that the power strip the router was plugged into was faulty. The indicator light on the strip however was illuminated. So, an easy fix after all. Thanks again.
