Router Death
Apologies for the lack of posting recently, our router blew up last Sunday and the new one (cheers Aaron!) is taking its sweet time arriving. Things should return to normal (whatever that is around here) in a day or two.
Word of warning - EuroPC (no link for you, EuroPunks) a) Take forever to send your item out b) Don’t email you purchase or shipping confirmation c) The item purchase doesn’t even show up in the relevant section of your web account! What a rubbish system - at least their phone number connects straight to a real person but they weren’t much help either.
Update: It’s here, but they sent me the wrong one! Unbelievable.

Hey, aint that odd… our router blew up last weekend too (during some odd power cuts).
My new one turned up on Monday though (ebuyer priority delivery turned out pretty quick!)

I managed to brick mine trying to change firmware, but that was in response to near unuseable net speeds even after reseting it to the firmware defaults so I suspect it was on the way out anyway.
I fear power cuts not - managed to blag a 1000kva UPS a while back. :)
