The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

I've been reading about the PBs. Apparently with a £25 holding the odds on winning any prize are 1 : 800. With the maximum £50000 holding the odds shorten a little to 1 : 1.11!

A suggestion, not certain that it will work.

Why not log in to the router and rename the SSID (ie the Local Area Network Name, Service Set Identifier, to give it it's Sunday name) to the same as the "old" router. I think that should just make all devices connect to the "new" router without any further changes.

I effectively did this with our home network when I installed a Mesh System to improve wifi coverage. I set the SSID of the Mesh. System to the SSID of the Router. All my devices just connected no problem. A subsequent change of router was painless, just plug in the Mesh System, and, devices connected without further intervention.

Just an idea.

My wife's son always does thiw hen he gets a new router

He can;t be bothered with the hassle of changing the SSID and passwords on all the kids thing and doorbell and all the other carp they have around the house
so he just changes the SSID and password the the same as they had on their router many years ago

I can see the point - getting our Solar panels to reconnect can be a pain and involves all sorts of messing about!

that might as well be written in Russian, I have absolutely no idea what any of that means !

Only a few hours to find out if we are winners this month. 🤔

Cumberland and something for us

"Ate" a 1lb one of those in 14 seconds.

I'm assuming you do mean a Cumberland Sausage. If not I withdraw my claim.

I've just posted....looks like I'll be going on another holiday

Hopefully not long, if you do go.

A good suggestion and I see the benefits. The thing is I haven't made any changes to the router and everything else is working as usual.

I think though deleting the printer, associated app etc. could be a good road to go down.

Ah ha! My HP suddenly stopped connecting to our router. I've been puzzling for a week or more. I will try this later.

If it doesn't resolve the issue what's your daughter's favourite lunch???

She is a woman of simple tastes. Lol. Ham and cheese panini …… with chips and a hot chocolate. 😀

Thanks for info . I’ve passed it on to my technical support. 😀

Yes.

 

[classic33]

Yes.

You took slightly longer than me to eat it I bet.
