Very clever

 

What ofcourse i meant was is it any benefit to "me"

IE if i watch 50 orgasm vids will the players get more attractive?

Will a previously unknown intrepid pop up in searches

Can i see the stuff people asked google to remove because they are crooks and dont want you to know about it

Or will my download speed melt my overhead phoneline it gets so fast

 

I will tick the box just because i can

Simple answer: no!

In fact chances are, for the average user, you will notice no difference at all whatsoever!

Never mind i ticked it anyway

Got other boxes as well.....

 

Will tick handover access point box as well the home hub four like the home hub 2&3 seem unable to go 10 feet into the bedroom so i have ordered a repeater

Ran out of network cable junctions on router so wired up the satellite box to use wifi as well so worth doing just for youporn.

Got so many cables running into the room its like the 21st century!

Y not invest in powerline networking?

I've used them in a few houses now and they tend to be quite decent!

Thought about it but theres still only 4 ethernet ports on the router ,thought of a switch but decided wireless is easier when the grandkids appear ,all i need is the download speed to handle it.

I had to sacrifice the satellite box ethernet for wifi as i used its cable to plumb in the printer to the network so i could use HP eprint which is a great way of printing from a tablet or phone ,its now on a seperate supply from the pc so it can be switched on by itself

The powerline stuff can be a bit iffy if your wiring isn't straightforward - it works ok in our house in the old part of the building where the router is, but the performance is poor in the extension. I expect it would be the other way round if I could move the plug for the router into the extension.

Our house would probably be ok it was rewired a few years ago ,its very very small but the problem mostly is where the router has to go .

My mrs loves the dark and out here in the sticks its very dark and LEDs can be very bright ,shes so bad the standby LEDS on the sat box in the bedroom have black tap over them ,the externalusb drive i records on the same ,the cctv has a,l its lights out (they even annoy me) infact any light is blacked out.the electric sockets are very sparse as well its best not to look at what is plugged into the two we have in the bedroom !but the majority are using low amps its not fifteen fan heaters by any means ,being an ex PAT tester made me aware of the problems of sucking more leccy than the wires can supply!

The router is well lit and at the moment i cannot have it go to sleep like the version 3 one and its "low" setting is bright believe me .

Theres also space considerations when i say small swinging a kitten would kill it

The router sits on a high cupboard in the living room but its signal is blocked by having to pass through a wall then a wall covered in reels to get to the bedroom where we tend to "live" as its safer for the mrs to have a fit if shes sitting on her bed ,this ofcourse explains why the bedroom has all these wires and the living room little as we only use it rarely

Tech is getting so techy i think even toasters will be wifi in the near future!

The router has all its ethernet ports used (cctv,blu-ray,printer and pc) the sat box has now got wifi as does the one in the living room ,then theres my playbook ,the kids two galaxy tab things and the two oldest grandkids with their phones (when they visit) ,nowhere to put an ethernet switch or hub (i dont like powered things in the loft) so its wifi

When my dabs "second user" wifi repeater arrives (no idea what its going to plug into) the black tape will be out again why theres this insistance on lights is beyond me all things have to do is work!

 

Is there a limit for wifi connections to a router?

they ideally need to run off the same ringmain...so if your extension has its own fusebox and ring then they don't tend to work as well crossing over.
