hi, sorry for the slow reply! I’m totally blown away by the new router 7590. the supplied cables were not compatible with our english connections, but I cobbled some wires together with parts from the “spare wire box” that we all have, the diagrams above were most useful.(I had no idea that the RJ11 and RJ45 connections were compatible).
My dsl connection is showing speeds well above the maximum 74Mb/s down and 20Mb/s up so my junctions can’t be too bad!
The menu option shows that my router distance from the cabinet is 301metres – g.fast is said to work well up to 300metres. so near, yet so far! So we did not go out for a romantic walk, but found something even better to do with the time ;-P ;-P
I’m totally impressed by all the features, I have the app on my phone so can answer landline calls on my mobile, I receive an email if I miss a phone call because I’m not at home, I have a dect handset plugged in, the NAS access is configured and working. I didn’t know about the VPN features, will hook my mobile phone into those next. The rumours about german engineering are totally true considering the design of this box!
edit : forgot to mention that my old router was 300Mb/s, this one will do 1700Mb/s on the 5Ghz frequency band, so file transfer speeds are so much better!
thanks again for all the friendly and useful advice
Andy
