Installing wifi router

[netibiza]

How easy is it to install a wifi router by oneself (me being not too technical), I do have adsl. if I buy a Belkin in England will it work ov er here in Spain with telefonica. it's just that telefonica charge almost double for this service.

[ChuckFickens]

if you were in the UK then I'd say yes it's pretty easy, it's gonna be a bit tricker if your using a UK router in spain though...

The router should work fine in spain, the main problem I can see over a spainish router is some of the default settings may be set to the normal UK settings (VPN/VPI mainly) and you'll have to change them too.

I do have the VPN/VCI settings for telefonica, but now I'm getting confused as I wouldn't know how to change them, I'll ask in the local shops, thanks very much.

Usually in the modem/router settings, you can change these values, in the router's web-based admin page.

Often, this can be accessed by typing something like 192.168.1.1 into your browser. You can then add and edit settings for the router.

I'd advise staying away from Belkin. Their reputation isn't deserved in my opinion. Try Netgear or Linksys:

Have just asked in town and they can supply (and change the settings for me) a netgear one for 78� and say I can easily install it myself - so am now thinking along those lines. I would buy it in England but what if it's faulty when I get it here, so best to stick to my own country, will certainly give4 it a try.

Thank you both very much

Just let Mousey install the router Neti, we all know she's the real whiz(kers) kid around your house http://i49.tinypic.com/11aba6c.jpg and the real queen too - Robi as long as there's a cat in the house Neti will always remain a mere pretender to the throne - there will always be a cat firmly parked on it, cos that's what cats are like:)

Aww Jude that's your son! He looks very nice <3 ! Give us more!

It's good to hear your daughter is pursuing her dream Vinny, far too many young people give up on theirs. As for Big Brother... I've never seen it but I've heard about it... I guess it's not easy being a dad and seeing your daughter grow up. I imagine you're imagining something like this ha ha ha https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgeIs9AUBBA ?

I'm sending that orangutan to my sis, Shaney. Wonder what will happen as the orangutan grows older and bigger? I remember a documentary where an orangutan almost gave Julia Roberts the hug of death =:0

Off to a lecture tonight, I'm hoping there will be some guided imagery involved. Let's hope no more drunks fall at my feet... (Robi I'm not generally a do-gooder with drunkards but he would have frozen to death.)

[netibiza]

Mousey is totally in love with Mr N, drives him crazy, she yowls at him and leaps on him whenever his behind hits a seat! I'm accepted cos I feed her and I'm a bit more bouncy than he is but he is always her first choice!!!

[netibiza]

jude, love that youtube of your lad, you must be so proud. I wish someone else in my family was musical so I could sing with them, but alas there is only me. !!

[netibiza]

duh - now I'm getting confused, have just left a post for Dolly on chicken thread but basically said, we are here for you when you feel despondant and you can always let your sadness out if you don't want your family to know.

always difficult, these moves from Nature to Technology, but I think I'm getting the hang of it

Thank you Jno for the info .
I watched it this afternoon on IPlayer .Very good .I really enjoyed it What an intrepid woman .I wonder what happened to the stowaway . I looked him up but couldn't find anything further about him only his name .What a brilliant man Eckener was .I read further about him and apparenty whilst flying over Switzerland before the war the noise of the airship caused a lady to go into labour and her husband wrote to Eckener and asked him to be a godfather to the child which he accepted .He wrote regularly to him and they sent him things like coffee and chocolate during the war .
Dolly, one of my brothers had a pacemaker put in when he was in his early sixties .He's 73 now ,quite fit and plays golf !! So keep your chin up old girl .I hope all goes well for your hubby .xx

Have a nice evening all .It's UC and Law and Order tonight . Yippee ...Scores on the doors Jude :))

HI there.

Shaney I'm ashamed to tell you how many I got in UC. Oh Well here goes. 3. I swore the questions were getting harder last week and now I'm certain. How did you do?
Enjoyed Law and Order too. I'm getting quite into that prog.


Had blood test today they only took one phial this week I'm pleased to say. They usually take 4. Then this afto went to school and met my little friends.

Thanks all for your kind words about my son. You're very kind.
