Re: need advice and help for a possible fix
Dear G.Maximus,
let me first thank you for your kind response.
I am living here for nearly 2 and a half years and im not a student.
being a university graduate in Sound Engineering and production, it is very difficult for me to find a job related to my studies.
I live in birmingham, and as my earnings from my job is absolutely under what you call minimum wages, i can not afford to move out. (i dont pay council tax here and all the bills are included)
gaming is my only hobby.
im probably stuck here for sometime unless i find a job that is no zero-hour-contract and does pay well.
i do not have a laptop unfortunately.
me and my neighbour both have gaming pcs and taking it downstairs for a speed test will be much of a hassle.
i can not use a wired connection to my room. the positioning of my room, the shape of my window and the layout of the house does not simply allow me to use a cable - and we dont have carpet in the house) and my landlord does not want to spend a single penny to remove a brick to let a cable in. he also does not allow me to do that i was to take the bill.
so wifi and powerline are the only options available to me.
the only option that is there is to ask my landlord to get us a new router. he is willing to do that, but i simply can not ask him to pay something insane. hes a nice guy, a very nice guy, and he cares, but he doesnt go beyond that.
i made a few contacts with the Virgin, and though i wanted to replace our router with the new superhub, all they did was to convince me that it would not improve anything.
now, the router you posted the link for, does it support wifi??
are there any other suggestions for a router?
as i said, we r only 2 gamers in the house and the others are living with minimal wage and they wont pay a penny to upgrade anything.
p.s. the link you gave me, the router does not seem to have the port for the internet cable that Virgin has. our internet cable looks like a co-axial antenna cable..
