I'm not even going to click on the video based on how atrocious that looks.

Man, **** you new page. I've caught the @meow.

I stand with NTP on this one. Not even clicking through on that video based on my own personal judgment of what a dope the owner of that setup must be simply based on the thumbnail.
We've taken to watching real estate video tours of super duper high-end homes in the LA area as a sort of vicarious outlet. We're talking mansions here, with a floor of around $4 million all the way up to 9-figures. Some of these homes are righteously bonkers, some of them are more traditionally bonkers. Nearly all of them have dedicated home theater spaces. And I feel a weird level of aggro when we get to one that's, say, a $40 million estate in Calabasas that's got a home theater with a front projector that's hanging down from the ceiling. Not recessed, not hidden in flush mount motorized drop cabinet. Just "hey, here's a big white box hanging down into the room that the developer probably spent a quarter million dollars to build".
It is such a stupid pet peeve of mine, one that I am in no way ever going to be in a position to actually engage with for real. It's just so silly.

Need some help with this twitch thing. I've got the video to work on my Amazon video screen box thing, but can you watch videos on twitch through Android tv or Amazon prime app or is my best bet to cast it to the tv via my phone?

Twitch has it's own app on FireTV if you have one of those. This was a while ago.

This guy clearly woke up one day and thought, "I want to spend tens of thousands of dollars on multiple stadium-grade speaker setups so that I can sit five feet away from them in my tiny-ass rooms."

I have a 5GB .MKV video of last nights concert that I want to watch. What's the best way to do this? Can I upload that to my YouTube account? Jump drive in a Roku?

USB stick connected to your smart TV (if you have the option). Not sure if a Roku can play files on them.

Assuming that you've already rebooted the router, do the logs say anything at all? If you're going to look at a new router, here are my usual recommendations:

Login to the router and there should be a system log somewhere. If you can filter on errors, maybe you'll see something in there that you can fix or at least report back here on. If you can confirm that wireless is enabled in the router's config, but you still don't see it broadcasting, it may help narrow things down (hardware would be my first guess).

I did not learn this studying for the CPA exam but I will login and see what I can find. The things 2.5 years old so while not ancient it wouldn't surprise me if it was time

Ohh, you have a combo cable modem + router. How fast is your internet package? You'd need a separate cable modem if you went with one of those ASUS units. If you wanted to stick with a combo, Arris is good stuff, and I can recommend one based on your network speed requirement.

I get 200mbps download with Spectrum. It's not fios but I am single and it's enough for one person.. I'm not married to the combo but it's just seemed the easiest

got a few of these: 3) No Ranging Response received - T3 time-out
couple of these with different channels: WiFi Interface [wl1] set to Channel 149 (Side-Band Channel:N/A) - Reason:INIT
couple similar to this one: No Maintenance Broadcasts for Ranging opportunities received - T2 time-out and this one SYNC Timing Synchronization failure - Failed to acquire QAM/QPSK symbol timing with some addresses at the end that I'll omit

Those messages are generally related to your actual cable network, and the wifi one doesn't seem like an issue. It's just setting channel 149 as the wireless channel and initializing it. Is this a Spectrum owned modem? I'd give them a call first. If you do wind up needing or wanting new hardware, you have two options:
All in one (that supports 400Mbps - your current device only actually supports 100Mbps according to Spectrum):
Something like this paired with a wireless router (see previous post):
