My daughter uses a Safecom cable router with the Blueyonder setup she shares with 2 flatmates. It worked without any setup or software loading when first installed in October. It stopped after a few weeks. She has tried a new router with no success.
Do we need to assign IP addresses, load any software to the PCs, do anything to the router settings? Is this a known problem with Blueyonder? Why did it work OK for a while then crash?
The girls don't stay plugged in permanently. Is it unrealistic to expect the connection to withstand random switchings on and off by individual users?
Any advice would be gratefully received. As a strictly ADSL man myself, I am lost in the mystery world of cable!
