For those non tech people just read the last sentence.
Most of you would have read that we have had issues with our internet. The good old Netcomm modem that we had in Townsville came with us to Wynnum and logically should have worked. Not the case.
We ran every test that you can run to find the problem. Filters on, filters off, nothing else on line, other points, modem at another house etc. Finally convinced that there was nothing wrong with the modem we get Tel$tra in. He plugs in and gets a sync straight away.
AAARRRGGHH!
Swapped the modem from the Carter’s with ours and we all have internet again! So we’re going to have to buy a new modem for our house. Because we are going to get VOIP as well we’re going to get a modem, router, wireless access point and voip adapter all in one. Make cabling easier and much better value. Hopefully will have up and running within the week!
Long and short is we are back online, with a temporary fix until we buy a new modem.
Hey guys – you’re welcome to use my router, it’s sitting unused either at the Harvey’s house or at my folk’s house. It’s one of the best ones you can get – a Billion 7500g. It does everything you listed except the VOIP, but I don’t really know what’s going on there anyway!
