About A Router

Hmmm …

I think — hopefully — that I’ve hit some sort of jackpot.

Possibly.

You see, I’ve just literally had the BT engineer ’round to sort out my connection.

Very pleasant and professional chap called Kenny, if I’ve remembered his name correctly.

What’s he’s told me — if I’ve understood thing’s correctly — is that he’s had to put in a new main socket, with a built-in ADSL microfilter.

And replace my router.

I’m not TOO sure of this, but seemingly, the combination SHOULD be able to boost an incoming signal from the exchange.

Hopefully.

The other thing … ?

Is to mention that the replacement router he gave me is one of the BT HomeHub 3s.

Which — bar dropping the signal when a wire worked loose — is working reliably, so far.

The interesting bit … ?

Is that the USB port on the Home Hub 3 is functional, unlike the one on the 2.

Those screen grabs … ?

Are of one of my flash drives, happily plugged in, readily accessibly to any machine on my network.

Hmmmm …

You know, if I had the money … ?

That’d be giving me ALL sorts of ideas …
