All ran well for many years until about 4 months ago when a lot of packets started dropping. At first I thought it was my PlusNet/BT connection but after substituting my old cheap Chinese Tenda router for both everything has been fine so my hardware seems to be the problem. I don't know which of the 2 devices is faulty. Any ideas how to identify the defect?<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
