I'm using a TP-Link WR1043ND at the moment as I didn't get Plusnet's one until 11am, I have been on holidays for 1 week and was re-delivered today. Should I replace it now or just wait? Could I also connect my computer straight on the modem instead of connecting the router, just for testing?

Let's see what happens at peak times.

Good!

I'd stick with yours for a while smile.

I don't see much point in connecting to the modem, and it means setting up the login details on the computer. Maybe in a couple of weeks if you still feel like it.

How does it feel seeing speeds like that? Don't be surprised however if you lose a few Mbps over the next few days frown. There is a settling in period, and that is quite common.

I will leave the WR1043ND on a couple of weeks then. I wanted to try the TG582n as with my TP-Link I can only get 20-25Mbps near the router. First time I use that router as was from that Broadband Panel thing, maybe I need to update firmware or something?

Feeling speeds like that is awesome and I don't mind losing a few Mbps as long as the latency stays like that smile At the moment I don't regreat the move.

How many time do I have to send back the O2 router?

Re the O2 router, I don't think you have to panic, but don't hang around. Haven't they sent you a Freepost jiffy bag?

If you want to try the wireless on the TG582N than there isn't really any harm in swapping it in. Just don't mess with the modem.

Note, if you have the instruction booklet for setting up the TG582n, the 15-minute delay really means it. All the lights come on in less time than that, but it doesn't function. Odd.

I got the giffy bag as soon as I requested the MAC, Plusnet used it the same day smile If I ask for proof of posting at the Post Office, will it say the post code where I sent the parcel?

If not harm, I might try the TG582N smile Is any way of trying my DGND3300v2 (doesn't have wan port)?

Also, I need to change to my previous RJ11 twisted pair in the modem. Will it make much harm? Any preferable way to do it?

Yes.

Not connected to the OR modem, but if it has facilities you want you should be able to connect it to the TG582N as long as you make sure you have appropriate IP addresses and disable DHCP in it.
Also, I need to change to my previous RJ11 twisted pair in the modem. Will it make much harm? Any preferable way to do it?
I don't understand the question/requirement.

I don't understand the question/requirement.

I want to replace the RJ11 cable and that means that I will have to turn off the OR modem. Should I just turn it off, replace the cable and turn it on straight away? Should I wait some minutes before turning the modem on? Some other way round? Or should I just leave it like it is because not good to disconnect the modem and no point in replacing a flat RJ11 cable for a twisted pair one? smile
