THE BOSS Mr BEEP gave me a new username and all is back to normal now Thank you kind sir

So my highish end Netgear router/modem takes at least 10 minutes to connect while my free Tenda router literally, and I timed this with my phone, took 17 seconds from being plugged into the wall to me being able to browse.
I'm still getting terrible speeds over http - updates from MS and Dell (have a new PC) are around 50 kb/s so I still seem to be having issues - Southern Suburbs connecting to WBVT exchange.
Been getting sh.i.t.t.y speeds over HTTP protocol (Off-peak/On-peak) since last weekend![]()
