Hi all
just got my first fibre broadband and generally pleased esp with the speed.. However in the two days i have had it.. the connection has dropped three times.. more than the whole of the previous year on the older conventional 10Mbs (it was with a different supplier but not convinced it would have been different with others either)
I'm getting looks of 'what have you done' from the better half.
before jumping to any conclusions i'd like some other perspective on what to expect and compatibility with my stuff and the amount of connected devices (cabled or WiFi)
It's a shock when you log in to your router and find there are devices connected! There may be more possibly.. is there a limit here? Tablets/phones/heating thermostat/door bell/ TT TV box.. Easily forgotten how many.
I have three devices going through one port off the router into a Powerline device.. do these upset the Superfast routers? It has been ok for the past 10 years on older routers. The powerline system is 100Mbs rather than 1Gb.
My Drayton MiGenie thermostat uses a gateway box plugged into the router by cable.
Do these New router need a settling in time or should they work without issues?
Don't really know what to expect here.
Your views on the setup? Any help or pointers appreciated
