The wifi signal on my Asus DSL-AC68U router has become very weak. The phone will connect if it is about a yard from the router but loses the connection when it is moved further away. The wifi analyzer app tells me that the signal strength is -75dBm. My back up ISP router, in the same location, will have a signal strength of -60dBm and its reach extends throughout the house, and probably reaches a...

This has always been happening since we got the A&A system, with SNOM phones. It is as if something is dropping outgoing UDP, but for such a long time, and only intermittently?? The internal system is just a Draytek router and a Zyxel 24 port unmanaged switch. I configured QOS on the router, limiting it to 5mbps. No difference.

"Consumer contract changes 'could save customers money' Broadband, TV and phone customers will be given the chance to avoid hefty price hikes when their contracts end under rules taking effect on Saturday. UK watchdog Ofcom says users could save £150 a year on broadband alone once they are informed of alternative deals. Around 20 million customers are out of contract with their suppliers,

Can anyone recommend a wireless IP camera that works without needing to talk to a server somewhere at a cost, and itself doesn't cost the earth? I want to be able to view its output from my phone. Ideally the camera should be waterproof so it can be outside, and need only a power supply from a wall-wart. I don't need an internal SD card for storage, and I don't need it to be remotely...

Does anyone know of a company that will allow me to change my DNS PTR entry? I have operated my own email server for some ten years now without any problems but because ESPs are clamping down on spam, etc., they have brought in draconian rules which are now preventing me from sending mail to, notably, any gmx accounts. So there are a number of my contacts that I can now no longer...

Does anyone have any experience of using John Lewis's broadband service? Good, bad or indifferent? I am thinking of moving to them but can't find many reviews. Ta

I'm looking to replace my PAP2 and fleet of wired-in Gigaset bases with something that speaks DECT to the Gigaset handsets directly. It would be useful for it to have answering machine capability in some way - either traditional push-button on the unit/handset or some kind of voicemail. As it'll be hooked up to multiple accounts and multiple providers, I'd rather have the functionality at my end...

Possibly a thick question. I'm trying to set up a Gradwell (or Onecom now I suppose) extension as an alias to an 'External SIP/IAX2 URI' and forward calls to an A&A number by entering sip:[email protected] in the 'Destination box' on the Onecom 'Aliases' page. After the normal 20 minute wait for the Gradwell system to update itself it's not working. Should it work, or have...

Just for fun During my sophomore year of high school, we were doing silent work and the history mentor of mine said that we might pay attention to music but if it was too noisy he would "break our headphones." so I am doing my business quietly with the music of mine on low, and this particular obnoxious child sitting next to me had the music of his really loud. I could hear it over the music of...
