NotTheNetwork but protecting your network!

So as part of my efforts to improve my BT Broadband (Infinity 2) service as have been having quite a few hits showing via my monitoring....

Lots of little hits over a week;

Uptime	Outages	Response time
99.04%	47	94 ms

So now have a BT Home Hub 5 connected in-place of the now quite old HH3. Lets see the report once it's been in a week and compare.

Also this upgrade now supports 802.11AC WiFi so to use this enhancement I sourced a BT Dual-Band ac Wi-Fi USB adapter. It does work fine and connects up at 535mb/s - however what they don't tell you on the web page before you buy it is that it is a USB 2.0 device so is limited by the 480mb/s standard!

Bring on USB 3.0 or a new laptop which comes with 802.11AC as standard.

Cheers,

S.

30 day graph, can you see when the improvement was made ;-)

Cubii - a desk exercise #fitness

So you spend lots of time using your computer at your desk, seems like you need one of these, I know I do.

Great idea that I'd been looking at my exercise bike wondering if it could be adapted to do this and generate electricity. Oh well these guys got half of the solution. 

Not quite network related.....
