Hi MikeyB, Hi Chris W,
.
I am pleased to say that that my cable connection is back and running.
.
I'm not so pleased to say that when reconnecting the supply lead to my
router, i blew it up.
Well not any actual blowing as such, but i have fused something in it.
I plugged in the hub supply which has the same plug, they were both
hanging about together.
Those little round short plugs like a little cylinder.
My router supply is about 8 volts, positive middle.
My hub supply is about 15 volts, negative middle.
.
So now my router is no more.
.
I pulled it apart, in case i could find anything repairable, but no
i couldn't even follow the circuitwork of the supply wiring/tracework
feeding the various tiny electrolytics.
It looks like its on a multi-layered board, which makes it almost
impossible to follow without a diagram. Probably impossible with a
diagram anyway.
.
So now i have to go and buy another one.
I will have to arrange that the feeds cannot be gotten wrong again.
Probably fixing the units on the wall, or something like that.
.
Well at least my connection is back on.
I dunno what i did different.
Maybe ntl was out, and now its back.
I don't think i did anything that i had not done before,
but i didn't take notes.
.
Well, thank you both for your help anyway.
Having someone else looking at a problem seems to help.
.
Cheers, John
