    NBN

    Just had NBN connected. No problem and works well....except for one problem. The Telstra box has abysmal wi-fi range. Down to 1 bar at around 20 metres. The old adsl2 box covered all the house with signal to spare. What options?

    Plug a wireless N router into the nework port on the Telstra router.
    I did. Works well.

    That is assuming your wireless devices are wireless N.

    Your old ADSL router may be able to perform this function if it has a 100base-t WAN uplink port.

    You should have 2 wireless signals being broadcast - a 5G version and a normal version - should be called XYZ and XYZ-5G when searching for connections. The 5G is much faster but flakey as and will hardy get through a wall, but the other connection should go much et over 50 meters on mine, but is a bit slower (can still get 40 Mbps on it though)

    Mine stops if the cat walks past the modem... It's very flakey through even one wall, but line of sight is very good.

    Talking of the NBN, did you watch the 4 Corners report.

    The use of "premise" instead of "premises" really annoyed me. So I sent this (with variations for names for Fifield and the NBN bloke) to Mathew Dickerson (the ex-mayor of Dubbo):

    Please, the singular of "premises" is "premises".
    A premise a completely different thing (look it up)!

    Every time you (Matt Dickerson), Mitch Fifield, and the PR bloke for NBN used "premise" it was like fingernails being drawn down a blackboard.
    Now you know, maybe you won't make that very annoying mistake ever again.
    Dickerson replied acknowledging his error - a top man for doing that.

    And, if you are a user of "premise", this is what it means:

    premise
    noun
    ˈprɛmɪs/

    • 1.
      LOGIC
      a previous statement or proposition from which another is inferred or follows as a conclusion.
      "if the premise is true, then the conclusion must be true"

    verb
    prɪˈmʌɪz/

    • 1.
      base an argument, theory, or undertaking on.
      "the reforms were premised on our findings"

    I have met the man and he is very good. I have nothing but admiration for him. If I lived in Dubbo LGA, I would be regretting that he did nto run for election in the merged council.
