I got my router delivered and was told it is a plug and play device. The download speed is verry unstable. After battling for days to get help this is the reply I got.
"Sorry about what's happening on your line at the moment.
It may the wireless connection that's the issue. You will need to log into the router change the Wifi channel to either 11, 6 or 1. These channels normally work best. But if not, then we advise that you test all the channels starting from the lowest to the highest.
NB: You will need your router’s default IP address.
Which of the following are you using?
For Windows Press the Windows Key on your keyboard. Type ‘cmd’. Click on ‘Command Prompt’. In the black window type ‘ipconfig’. The Default Gateway number is your router’s IP address. Make a note of this.
For a Mac Click the “Apple” menu. Select “System Preferences”. In the “System Preferences” window, click the “Network” icon. Select your network connection (Wi-Fi or wired connection) and then click the “Advanced” button. In the “Network” window, select the “TCP/IP” tab. Your router’s IP address is listed as “Router.”
Once all the cables are plugged in and the router is switched on, wait until the ADSL light (see front panel) stops flashing. Configuration
Go to the Wifi settings and then choose the channels. If there's no improvement.
