Router huh !

David · Nov 30, 2009, 00:25:26

I have just changed over to my old 2 wire expecting to reconfigure but its come straight online what have I done wrong ?

Simon · Nov 30, 2009, 00:35:43

What log in details are in it? Have you never used it with AA, even when they were fault finding?

David · Nov 30, 2009, 00:43:14

No Simon never used it with A&A and according to my log I have been off line for the past 40 minutes.......shall I try and log into my IDNet account ...no thats insane

David · Nov 30, 2009, 01:17:30

Well I dont know I will leave it connected and tomorrow will be interesting to see if anyone can explain this..it seems crazy but I have limited knowledge with routers...well with everything really but it makes no sense.......I am wondering (grasping at straws if it has any bearing on my speed issues )

At the time of turning off I am not on-line with my isp ...according to my log...

I have heard of people having big issues trying to configure a router and get online...this is the total opposite...it could only happen to me

Gary · Nov 30, 2009, 07:01:02

Did you ever leave Idnet?

Perhaps a new role for the 2 wire free internet access

Well I have checked my log and according to that I am not on-line perhaps I have hacked in without knowing it...hope I don't get extradited..This goes against everything I thought I had learned

must try a speed test

Rik · Nov 30, 2009, 09:22:26

BT have failed to delete the record which allowed the IDNet connection, David.

Quick before they find out

David · Nov 30, 2009, 09:38:09

I guess I better download the biggest file I can find

Rik where was your Christmas card list

On a more serious note,could this in any way impact on the speed ? would there not be a conflict in some way or another ?

No, because the sequence is connect physically (sync), connect virtually (log in to ISP). Technically, it's quite possible to have several ISPs on one line (has to the the same type of service, eg WBC, of course), and to switch between them. BT, for their own reasons, generally block this.

I guess I had better tell my isp then...but I have a lot of shopping to get in a short while,and have to line up to tax the car and get a shedload of presents for my children...happy days...still it gets the poor old soul out

Glenn · Nov 30, 2009, 09:58:34

Tax the car online, it's far easier

Rik · Nov 30, 2009, 09:58:51

It will get sorted...

David · Nov 30, 2009, 10:21:37

I know..in a couple of hours it will all be done

..I happen tolike shopping...especially for presents for others

Rik · Nov 30, 2009, 10:23:49

I hate shopping, unless I can do it online.
