Gonzo wrote: » I've read all those and the posts here on boards. beginning to think their is no way around it other than buying another router. It's not a priority for me yet tho as I am very happy with the router on most other devices. Friends of mine are thinking of buying new routers as well. It's more of an inconvenience when friends call over and they have to use their wireless provider. I don't use the phones much for browsing/videos.

If you were to do nothing else for an entire month other than speedtests your 1tb data cap would be used up in 500 speedtests! with no room left for browsing, gaming, video, streaming or downloading!. For people on Siro it would be even more as their max speeds is about 940 / 260.

I can understand running a couple when you first get a fast connection until the novelty wears off; I can understand running one when you think there might be a problem with the connection. But a lot of people seem to run them recreationally. It's a bit like running your kitchen tap for ten minutes several times a day to see what the pressure is like: you're using a substantial amount of a shared resource for essentially no useful purpose.
