Defective Router

Another ex-Nilly joins the forum
No letter received advising me of activation date
Woke up on Thursday to find I had no connection - tried the new Sky box, but it wouldn't connect, telephoned Nilly and they said the line tested okay from their end

Old setup was everthing connected to a Netgear switch (FS608) and the switch connected to the router (Vigor 2600)

Then I thought, well lets try the Wifi - fired the laptop up, and it found the SkyBox, logged in and could access the Internet - but couldn't access the hard-wired computers.

So orf I goes to SkyTech and they try to help the best they could, and we finally got it working 100% after switching a few LAN connections around

I then tried to move things back to original setup, and found as soon as I plugged anything into SkyBox LAN port 1 I lost everything.

So awaiting replacement Router now, but at least everything working, although it has lost sync a couple of times and I'm more than happy with my 12Mb download speed, as I was only getting 4Mb with Nilly for 3 times the money


Just noticed I will have to change my Sig as well :-)
