Re: Fibre/VPN

Just disconnect the power supply and wait for 30 seconds then re-connect. All should be good to go when it auto-reconnects

I do have to re-boot the router equipment a couple of times a month to clear the static though. I use 'Hola' as my VPN and find it quite adequate when streaming the ne...

Re: Thai maps for a UK Satnav
