Hi, how long did it take for the router to arrive from ordering + what router is it?
I'm having sky hd installed on the 8th, currently waiting for BT to reconnect the phone line and then will order the sky max bb.
Thanks in advance.

I ordered it on Friday 26th - last week. Activation date is the 7th November. It's a Netgear router - wireless and wired connectivity. Looks good quality. Came with cables and 3 microfilters.

Test 1: 1024K took 4765 ms = 214.9 KB/sec, approx 1771 Kbps, 1.73 Mbps

Test 2: 1024K took 4750 ms = 215.6 KB/sec, approx 1777 Kbps, 1.74 Mbps

Test 3: 1024K took 4766 ms = 214.9 KB/sec, approx 1771 Kbps, 1.73 Mbps

He means the electrical cabling in the house, should I want to use it for Ethernet. It is old and probably a fire risk, but it's not my house, so I've nothing to worry about. Plenty of smoke alarms. House contents insured.

Well your landlord is required by law to replace the wiring in the house.

Wrong you have the chance one day you come home, and your home is on fire.
