New NTE5 - dicsonect all extensions - run extensions off a filtered faceplate, (new) router on a short lead from the faceplate, etc.?A friend of mine was having intermittent connections a while back - changed router from a relatively old one, and it's been solid ever since.. I suspect the PSU was "wearing out" ...Gordon
Gordon,We have a filtered faceplate (BT thingy fitted by them the last time I complained) - the router is fairly new (Netgear wireless) I could get anew one but I assumed if it worked even intermittently then it was ok. The router is right by the faceplate but very close to the CAT 5 cabinet (installed by the previous owner).
btw what is NTE5 ?We are at the limit of the ADSL distance which is the excuse BT and my ISP (Nildram) use when I complain - hence my enthusiasm for a new fibre link :-)
Cheers, Chrisbtw I have been following the Arduino threads - I haven't got one yet but I would like to try this winter. Initially I would like to monitor greenhouse temps - maybe add a 'frost-stat' type heater as well. Can't make the meeting this weekend - already committed.
