Dave, You are not by any chance using the old Paradise DNS servers are you 203.96.152.4, 203.96.152.12. These seemed to migrate to cable customers after TelsreaClear brought Paradise too. While they work they can be slow at times. If you are in ChCh on cable you should be migrated to Vodafone now. There are new faster DNS servers to use, if you wanted to update your router/DHCP server. Primary DNS: 203.97.78.43 Secondary DNS: 203.97.78.44 The above settings are for Vodafone cable customers ADSL customers use different addresses again. Good luck Simon I have found that the really cheap wifi routers that are being hit hard with downloads etc they can flake out, if so ease up a bit and see if things are more reliable..... esps if you have say more than 4 devices associated to the wifi and are using encryption. Try and use an Ethernet connection if you have something that needs a lot of bandwidth, the other wifi users will thank you at least. ----- Original Message Follows ----- > On Tue, Jun 17, 2014 at 7:22 AM, dave lilley > > <[email protected]> wrote: Did post message to > > list on sunday saying i'll update group in couple of > > weeks but haven't seen it posted (know it's gone out, at > least it's in the sent box in webmail). > > > In case that message didn't get out. > > > > Well I've changed DNS settings from the old numbers to > > the new.
