Thanks for sharing. If my router messes up I’ll be sure to call you! Oh and mind if I give my parents your number? They’ve been looking for someone nice to help them with their printer…

My answer: I work with one brand (and preferably model) of router for a time, for me and my family/friends.

You want my help/support, you use what I’m familiar with.

I continually work forward at home so I’m prepared when it’s time for people to replace devices.

Hey whats wrong with Merlin
You mean you turned it off and on again?
I’ll post my story about fixing a router here since I’ve been struggling with it for the past two weeks. After much troubleshooting with my ISP, testing with a whole other computer that somehow managed to get a gigabit link I was confused at why my router was not getting a gigabyte link from the wan. What ended up being the problem was a poor termination on one of the ethernet ports in the wall. If I had been able to think about it without stressing about the limited time to work on it, I would’ve realized that yeah that made sense because when I went straight from the ISP box into another computer I was able to get the giga bit link. Either way I re-terminated a good bit of my cabling and now I get a great link on my router. Here’s to 500 Mb per second in a 200 person town.
