WiFi Router

[westwoody]

I have a netgear router which works fine.
Visited Shaw and they gave me a Cisco wireless modem/router as an update.
Can't get the thing to work at all, should have stuck with the netgear.
And Shaw's support, plan on a half hour on hold, before they move you to someone else and put you on hold again.

after update, did you check the gateway's settings then? some gateways will revert the settings back to default.

They can configure their Cisco to act like a modem and you can continue using your Netgear. That's what they did with my Apple Extreme

Also get them to fix it if their phone support is poor.

They told me this is called "bridge mode".. You can call support, ask them to switch your modem to "bridge mode" and your router will work the same as before. They can shut down their wifi as well, it's sh*t anyway.

Yup

Bad enough they see all your internet traffic, no sense letting them manage your personal network as well

Thanks, back to the much better Netgear! No wonder the damn thing was free.

Hey I was just going to reply to another thread about "how scary the life is' ( http://perb.cc/vbulletin/showthread.php?229142-death-of-HTTP-impending ) and there's another one! Most ISPs are bastards, hate them all. That's why (after watching Snowden movie) I consider using internet less, having a sticky tape on my laptop camera and only using Secure sites. Will also delete my nude photos from my hard drive LOL
