Re: I Have No Internet.... Boo Hoo! Please Send Food Parcels
Art, sometimes with new routers you need to enter a set of values in a pop up box?They are
VCI 38
VPI 0
Have a look next time you try and set it up. This flummoxed me many years ago when setting up the Belkin, after using an Orange modem, and I couldn't understand why I couldn't connect. Then, as I was closing all the windows, suddenly found the boxes asking for these numbers!! I had to reconnect the old modem, and do a Google search. As soon as I entered them, connection went ahead.
And again, when I connected the new TP-Link not long ago, I had to cross my fingers that the original ISP sign in would work. (Never used anymore.) (I'd written the above numbers down.). Huge sign of relief when everything worked first time round. I'm now enjoying the benefits of a new fast router.

Affected 10% of all BT customers which is pretty huge.
It's time BT's monopoly on telecoms was tackled imo

Obviously this could have caused a fire so won't be putting it there again.

Couldn't agree more Realist
I'm sure I've read something somewhere that that is being looked into, or is that only in my dreams?
