Re: Oh dear... new router is fubar

The new router arrived today and I've set it up this evening. Wifi connected straight away with no 2 day delay like the last one! Straight away... it was like magic! Hopefully this one won't drop out late in the evening like the previous one.
Only one glitch, there was no returns bag with it for the previous one. I've literally just swapped the routers and wifi cards over. The ethernet and power cables, manual and anything else I can't think of that came with the new one, are still in new condition untouched.

And there was me thinking i should start calling you Young Jim  Cheesy
Yes.. the card that came with the first router went back into the box of the new router - along with the first router inside the plastic bag that it is packed in. All the other stuff in the new router box has been left untouched.

At the risk of speaking too soon.... So far so good.
Not had a dropped wifi connection once that i've been aware of.

Old one was sent back yesterday - the missus got a receipt just in case.
