  1. Just curious, was the PC wired to the HomeHub? Might be worth using the PC to connect to the router using your web brower and it's IP address (normally something like 192.168.2.1, exact one is probably in the manual for the device), and check if the wireless interface is up. There will probably be pages on the router for an event log too, you could paste that here and it might help diagnosing ze issue?

  2. Its been in there for over 2 years since I swapped to an Alpine h/u :lol:

     

    Snap, had an Opeth album in current shed for over a year. :lol:

    When I finally get a zed it's gotta be a mix of 80's goodness and metal methinks! The mighty Phil, bit of Bryan, some Bolton, and then randomly Opeth, Invocator and Soulfly! :band:

  3. Just been to Egypt in June and stayed at the Three Corners resort in El Gouna, about 20 minutes out from Hurguada.

     

    Got to be the safest place I've ever seen, pillboxes on main roads, security on round abouts, guards on every hotel entrance, never felt safer tbh. People of course very friendly, but never found them pushy - made me wonder if they were under orders or something. Lovely marina round El Gouna, theres some serious money there. Weather was as you'd expect, what little breeze that came off the sea was perfect when sun bathing.

     

    Overall I enjoyed the experience, though a little on the quiet side - but I was on a mission to unwind primarily, was first holiday in 10 years. :lol: The people I was away with were less than impressed with the area and said they prefered Sharm El Sheik, but I suppose it depends what you want out of the holiday, for me it was a pefect quiet place to unwind, with decent entertainment going on, quality food etc. Hope that can help at all?

  4. There aren't really many red herrings as long as you go with a fairly mature brand. Depends if you want to do anything clever with them really that would draw you to a specific brand, but as said, Netgear, Belkin, Linksys, etc all do the job.

     

    Just to throw something extra in though, if this issue has suddenly come on, it may also be due to environmental conditions. There are a lot of things that can affect a line enough for a ADSL connection to drop. As an example, I was out at a site last week where BT - in their glorious wisdom - had activated an ADSL connection on a line used by an ancient greet system - every time it's used it would without fail drop the ADSL, something to do with the way voltage is lowered when the 'call' was being made (I dunno, I'm no engineer. :lol: )
