Can anyone tell me in their experience how long it takes for the router to arrive once it's been despatched? Incidentally, it's still saying it's pending and awaiting processing in my admin area.
I'm wondering if the thing would have been sent at all if I hadn't rung up.

I can see that your router was dispatched on Friday. TBH we don't usually dispatch them until 2 working days before and I'd be surprised if it doesn't reach you in time for the install.
Please let me know if there's any problems though.

I think I read somewhere that I have to wait 24 or 48 hours before the speed increases. I did a speed test at http://www.mybroadbandspeed.co.uk/ and it said I had 37512 kbps upspeed and 9092 kbps download speed so I guess this means it's already done.
Secondly, I accidentally pressed the WPS light on the router and it flashed red for about 5 minutes or so before going out. This led me to look into this and I've read about a vulnerability - http://telecom.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/25608/~/wps-security-risk---technicolor-tg582n,-...
I have no idea what WPS means or whether I should be disabling it as the article says. Please could someone advise me.
Many thanks.

I've since set up most of my wireless devices (the old-fashioned way as I like to disable broadcasting SSID and only allow new stations via registration) and all seems fine. It wouldn't let me set up new wi-fi devices with those changes whilst WPS was enabled.

It will arrive on Wednesday of not Thursday. Keep an eye on your account/text messages and you'll be able to see it's progress.
