Thanks those with the proper replies, I have now remembered why I refrain from posting on these forums, too many self important “know it all” keyboard warriors who don’t post to help but post to mock, forum trolls!

it’s the WAN side that comes up with DHCP error, the engineer has replaced the hub (says they should be replaced every couple of years and I’ve had this one for 10), I’ll try putting it back into modem mode later and fingers crossed. Thanks for the reply.

Hi all, My current setup, VirginMedia hub 3 in Modem mode attached to my ASUS AC88U router, wired into that is my old ASUS AC68U router and a gigabit switch which in turn has another gigabit switch chained off of it. it’s been working fine for years now but suddenly I get random DHCP errors...

Hi all, I am in a quandary, I am wanting to add another Asus router to my network and use my current old AC1900 ASU’s router into the mesh, therefore my upgrade does need to be an Asus. I have a lot of Wi-Fi devices in my house 20 plus (some 5Ghz and some only 2.4Ghz) and we aren’t massively...

Hi all, not sure if I have the correct or best section of the forums to ask this but a quick google also not giving me any answers. what I am looking at doing is setting my phone up as a hotspot, this part is easy obviously, the other part I want to happen is that when someone connects to me...

I agree and I do have alternative pcs I can use but it’s the principle as I am testing it before a massive 300 people roll out, each one of the 300 people signed their minimum spec sheet which said (and randomly still says) Pentium 4 running at 2.8ghz and 3gb ram, my system is an Intel NUC with...

Thanks for this all, I have a feeling I may also have to explain it to my “IT” manager as well, what’s the best way to explain why my cpu will be better than the P4 technically? basically when I started 4 years ago I had to sign to say I had at least a Pentium for running at 2.8ghz or...

Hi all, it’s been a long time since I have worked I computers but I am trying to argue with my Boss that my work machine which has an Intel Pentium N3700 is better than an old pentium 4 running at 2.8Ghz but cannot find the words for it, I am sure I am correct but been out of IT too long now to...

Thanks for the recommendation, really looking for the cheapest one possible as I may only use it once every couple of months for a maximum of a day, I may even go many months without having to use it, no fixed IP required. Although I don’t mind paying 70pound for an install, thinking about it...

Hi all, I work from home and require an my internet to be up for 9 hours minimum per day constantly Remote Desktop and VOIP line, I have VM fibre at the moment which is fine for nearly all the time but understandably they are not up 100% of the time, which is why their will be no point in me...

Hi all, So long story short, I Want to run Ethernet cable externally in order to allow hard wired Ethernet ports in a few rooms in my 3 story house, currently running VM 300mb, there will be a lot of devices wired in, probably using a few unmanaged gigabit switches, my question is, should I run...

They are dead Dave, who is?, everybody Dave, not Chen?......... Wait wrong AI :) RIP Douglas Rain.

It is good news that you will be getting some training on dealing with these sorts of issue’s as you wont get on with everyone and each employee is an individual, as it should be, as long as they are doing their job then their personality should never come in to it, maybe ask for some diversity...
