What stoofa said. Do a pathping to make sure it is definitely happening out side your building's internal network first. If it's a business leased line, then yes, I would not expect any packet loss! ADSL though depends who your ISP is but from experience BT will accept a good few % loss on...

Starting to think I just need to look at stand alone APs now as you say. So, what would recommend as rock solid and with good signal range/quality? I was looking at dual band vs single band and starting to wonder if that's worth it either. Devices using it will mostly support 2.4Ghz+5Ghz. It's...

£200 ish per access point roughly. Not looking at the cheapo end but not the right top end either! Thanks

I do not think this is going to be overly do-able in a home situation but look up WCCP and Cisco. Basically it redirects traffic at firewall level to a proxy. Nothing needs setting on the machines/devices, they are totally unaware. I use it at work with a Cisco ASA firewall and Squid on a linux...

Hi All I am looking at getting several access points to give coverage across our building (warehouse + offices). I want ones that play well together and all that. I looked at the Cisco AP 541N that has some nice clustering features but have also seen bad reviews of bugs and poor coverage...

..and because you're a bloke you didn't listen to what I said lol. I didn't just go and find *any* screw driver. Also when you have some one who is seriously ill at home and the phones *must* be working you just do what's needed. I was fully aware I was not doing it the ideal method but I was...

Oh I would love to, I am a huge Zen fan and use them at work when ever possible! My personal wallet doesn't agree with the huge price difference though..

They never called back - not surprised - 3rd call back for different issues that hasn't happened. BT have only cancelled the broadband order! The 'Order management' desk (who clearly needs to go on some management courses! ;)) went home just before I called so nothing more I can be told or done...

No prob :) 1) I appreciate that (I deal with network cabling as part of my job) but the rest of the extensions is/was already there in place and wired to the 'standards' (ignoring one funny box/cable with odd colours that threw me, the rest are as documented). So him rewiring one end wrong is...

Cheers for tip John24! They're suppose to be phoning me back tomorrow and I'm hoping for a Saturday appointment (made it extremely clear I can not take another day off work as a result!). Also there was talk to see if this Saturday is possible. Not holding my breath there as much as I need it. I...

ARGH!! Not laughing now. Just let rip at the women who answered. I'm sitting here, just gone 5PM thinking how the broadband/infinity engineer hasn't shown, though it could be any time until 6PM. I log on to BT.com to just look at the order status. It shows: Rubbish!! It's Infinity, I need my...

You guys will laugh at my problem above and what the issue was.. Checked wiring in BT box was correct. Thought the extensions must be wired differently for some reason (I know they are very old). Opened up one and got confused with odd color wires (I think they were old/faded now). Opened up...

Wiring looks fine (no obvious screw ups!). Suspect they'll just not want to know as it's internal. It worked fine before they came and rewired it in to a new fact plate though!! :| Grrrr. BTW the BT guy did comment as I explained above about the extension wiring making it quieter but didn't...

Argh. Why do these things always go wrong for me? I have found that with the faceplate on (and so the extension that is wired into the back of it, not plugged in the front active) the phone is acting *very* odd. If I plug the phone in to the master socket all is fine! Now keep in mind this...

I've enjoyed the Lonely Planet guides in the past but they've just got terrible reviews for Hong Kong and Beijing. Then I seem to be able to find nothing for Xi'an (should I be searching for a different name?). Tempted to just print off some travel maps and WikiTravel before I go instead!

Today is the day finally (after several screw ups with the BT order!). Guy number 1 has been and connected us back to BT (from Virgin). Bit odd as I can receive calls but not make out bound. Only realised this after he had left. Will try again in an hour and see.. Interestingly he showed me...

Note taken! ;)

Amsterdam is nice. You can have holidays of varying types there! The first time I went, I (a female!) went with 2 guys who didn't even drink let alone any thing else. We had a lovely time exploring the parks and the such. We stayed in a cheap 3 bed hostel type room thing. I returned again with...

Hi :) Can any one recommend one? Looking through reviews upon reviews on Amazon of various ones and they all moan about things like the travel maps/info being out of date - a big part of why I am buying one! (Will also be looking for one for Xi'an and Beijing but not got that far yet, if...
