Like I said earlier I had this problem Constantly having to reset my router 10 times a day.


I changed my WAN Connection Type from PPPoA to PPPoE and the problem has ceased.


Might have to reset once or twice a week. But that is quite normal.


Just check your WAN Settings on your Router. They may of changed if you at sometime

did a hard reset on your router. Usually a button on the back of your device or sometimes

a small hole where you insert a paper clip / pin .

Being out of contract gives to better a negotiating position. If they refuse, threaten to change to another provider - I bet they'll send you round their first-born child with a new router gaffer taped to it. Especially as BT, Sky and V-media are campaigning hard for new business.


V-media sent us a notice just before Christmas saying they were raising our broadband price (which gives you the right to exit your contract). We rang them, said we were looking to take a certain deal with BT and they reduced our price there and then to less than we'd been originally paying with no new contract (though we still have 9 months on our old one).


(Seems using V-media's proper name is a no-no in the Lounge!)

Tried that in December, got a PAC (?) code after they only offered to reduce my monthly payment by 50p !!!


And I'm concerned at customer service if I go elsewhere, otherwise I would.


Fox, I'm sure it's my stupidity but I have no idea what you're talking about re WAN type. I've never done a hard reset on my router, and nothing has changed since the router was installed.


I don't want to do anything which might make things worse.


I'm going to try some other channels first.

How on earth did you set your router up in the first place...


Http://192.168.2.1 will normally take you to your router...


Then you will need to enter Username / Password.


on a new router where you have not changed either


Username :- password


Password :- admin


You may need to refer to your Router Documentation.


Then just go to WAN Settings and check it is set to PPPoE

PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet)



PPPoA(Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM)

PPPoA is for Static IP addresses which you do not have.

By following the comprehensive instructions provided with the router ....


And I changed channels by following the comprehensive instructions provided by Plusnet ....


I don't have time to do anything else about this today.

    • Well hello Manor men, I went to PM from 74-79. I was in O and Churchill. I can’t remember my tutor but do remember a number of bods. I’ve read a number of posts here about PM and recognise some things. Mudway was an arse. Hardly ever changed his suit.  Guys I remember are Alan Palmer, Wayne Peck ( had an older brother at the school and I think lived Peckham Road, Longleigh House), Owen McClery, Junior Gayle(Wing Chung master), David Banton , Steven Green ( I think he had green eyes), Rodney Evelyn, David Barton, Raymond Gillman (deceased), Neil Warner, Horace Marshaleck (deceased), Steven Watson (two years younger) I have a picture somewhere of the school winning a cross country event against other schools in the South London Press I think.  Teachers - Miss Pugh, Mr and Mrs Webster, Mr Thomas, New French teacher 1978/79 Miss Anspach, Mr Baugh, Mr Nelson, Mr Patel, Mr Sparks, Mr Dowse, African PE teacher, hard as nails, Mr Fenton for careers, Mr Kemel Also, my brother attended Adrian Lewis, a year younger.  
    • One gentleman who kept the boards up to date with community notices i.e. local residents' association events, East Dulwich Community Centre, sadly died a few years ago. He never had the keys to the NX Rd board as this was outside his ward (now known as Dulwich Hill). The council changed the locks on the boards and we do not know who was given the keys. The gentleman's widow carries on with posting community notices but only on the odd couple of boards whose locks have been broken and she can lift the cover. If I remember correctly, it was the Lib. Dem councillors in ED that initiated the boards.
    • Thanks, that’s very sensible advice  and I’ll most likely follow it. I shouldn’t need anything from them, and if anything, they may end up needing me as they’re likely to go first. Really appreciate your support.
    • Hi Jason - we had very difficult neighbours at some stage. Differently so from yours - aggressive, drinking fairly heavily etc… I tried to accommodate their many demands (and their huge dog who howled all day and used our garden as his toilet) until one day, I just started ghosting them. Cut off contact entirely, blocked their mobile phone number, ignored them when they tried to speak to me. I point blank refused to deal with them, including when they needed my signature to extend the lease to secure their new mortgage, which really panicked them. This proved highly effective and they moved soon after (after I made them sweat to sign the freehold docs they needed) I don’t know if you want to do the same if there is a personality disorder involved. But if you do, make sure all your paperwork is in order and there’s absolutely nothing you need from them.  I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s really unpleasant.
