By Friday last the new router (Netgear N300) was working just Ok, but I noticed it was a lot slower than the old one (Netgear DG834G) But I noticed throughout Saturday and Sunday the connection speeds were gradually speeding up, by today (Monday) it is ferociously quick.
My initial thought that was by coincidence PN were having problems over the weekend(?) but I didn't notice anyone else complaining about it. So I wonder, do new routers have a settling in period before reaching design or line compatible speed?
I never mentioned why I changed the router in the first place; the old one needed to be re-booted up to 4 or 5 times a day more if I was home all day, and it ran very hot, not just electrical appliance warm but very hot to touch (there are/were no ventilation issues) indeed I was quite wary about going out and leaving it on.
The new router not only is faster but is agreeably cooler to the touch. It does though appear to be designed to be mounted on its vertical stand rather than flat on a shelf (as the old one was) Is there really a reason for this?
Experience; is something you gain, just after you needed it most.
When faced with two choices, simply toss a coin. It works not because it settles the question for you. But because in that brief moment while the coin is in the air. You suddenly know what you are hoping for.
