I've been on broadband for years already but had to change to a new cable, which was installed back in January, but the actual switch has been delayed until now. I've no major complaints since they kept the old broadband up and running in the meantime. It's mostly the information part that's been a bit wobbly...DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-9706699424485681002013-04-06T18:33:52.893+02:002013-04-06T18:33:52.893+02:00Meike, I was warned that problems of that kind cou...Meike, I was warned that problems of that kind could arise when changing to stronger security setting on the new router, but luckily it does not seem to have caused any trouble. I suppose if your router offers more than one such option you could try experimenting with that.

Since Christmas is a long way off yet, though, I decided to give it a longer cable and hide it behind a curtain (as I also used to with my old one).DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-23178473127619670512013-04-06T05:22:35.993+02:002013-04-06T05:22:35.993+02:00Nothing as nice as being "connected"...C...Nothing as nice as being "connected"...Congratulations.Wandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06941735389982354519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-475776978256959872013-04-06T01:31:23.646+02:002013-04-06T01:31:23.646+02:00Congratulations and welcome to the BB world.

This compared to 2,5 Mbt/s which is what I had on my old cable. <br /><br />There were other options, at various prices... 10/10, 100/10, or 100/100... I decided to try out the medium alternative for now. Testing the speed with my computer connected by cable yesterday, I got 48 Mbit/s. After installing the router and cellphone and Kindle I got 25 Mbit/s wireless when testing the computer. <br /><br />Haven't yet tried to download or upload anything of significant size; I expect that's where it will be most noticeable.DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-21516193049145720902013-04-05T08:00:37.132+02:002013-04-05T08:00:37.132+02:00Hooray indeed!

I reinstalled the old router and did everything EXACTLY as it was before - but when RJ was here for the weekend, his laptop would not connect the same way as before. We gave up in the end and he connected using my W-LAN. Don't know yet when/if we'll make another attempt (with the new router, this time).Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-71564350200617111352013-04-05T07:00:47.722+02:002013-04-05T07:00:47.722+02:00I bet Adrian us exprcting an answer in megawotsits...I bet Adrian us exprcting an answer in megawotsits or minihertzes or whatever.
