Hello.
I am one of the unfortunate people sharing house with strangers renting a room.
My flatmate downstairs has the router on his room which is shared and paid by all but since it cost around 115 euros to move it out landlady won't bother. Lately the router has started dropping off sometimes over the last 10 days and since my flatmate works at nights I have to wake him up and argue for him to restart the net when for some reason the on-line reboot or even factory reboot hasn't paid off.
Question 1:He tell me instead of walking him up, to go to the main board and drop the switch regarding his room and then turn it back on. Does this have any difference than manually pressing the on off button on router?
Question 2:Because the on/off button on the router is a bit loose he instead of turning it on and off removes the power plug cable from it and reconnect it back. Any risk due to that?
I am worried maybe the last 10 day disconnects are related to that since it goes off quite a lot.
Question 3:This is separate than last 2 questions. If anyone knows superhub 1 of virgin and could help with that.
Today he had his pc on ethernet port1. His device on the on-line router status would have it marked as a dot . instead of the usual desktop x name. That would cause me not being able to reconnect after on-line reboots and powering off and on his room socket elecricity. After I woke him up and told him restart and remove from port 1 thinking maybe is a wan port and cause ip conflcts or something, after the restart I still got dced. But after he finally put the cable on port 2 or so finally got fixed. Any feedback on that?
Thanks
