i have posted in the green room about my internet problems, but thought it might be better here.
My internet light on my talk talk router went out, and after a long talk with the call centre located in The Philippines he said "there was work going on in my area" and suddenly my internet came back on again. 2 weeks later the same thing happened. This time it was a long conversation with the call centre in South Africa, and they sent out an engineer 4 days later. He pressed the reset button at the back of my router (why couldn't they have told me to do that in the first place?) and my internet came back on. This lasted 2 days (until yesterday). Right in the middle of Poldark, suddenly I had no internet. (Insert sad face!) Not wanting to wait another 4 days I tried pressing the reset button using a paper clip myself. Nothing happened. I think I may have broken it.
Then I remembered the previous tenant of the flat had left their talk talk router behind, and I had shoved it in a cupboard (along with the rest of her stuff) Can't get rid of it, the previous tenant happens to be the landlords daughter.
So I get out the router and try connecting it. It works perfectly, though it is half the size of my router.
Any ideas on this? Have I broken my router? Should I tell talk talk and ask for another one?

Anymore to come?
