An upgrade to the ‘allansplace’ network has happened (finally). The old router, a D-Link DIR-815, has been replaced by a new one, a Netgear AX1800. Why the change? The DIR-815 has been running for several years and so far hasn’t failed, but the wireless signal has dropped in power, and sometimes the SSID has disappeared completely. So, if you notice a faster connection, this is likely the cause. Yes, I number my routers. This one is number 9. Here’s a list of all the routers that have been, since the dawn of time.

allansplace3 – ZIO wireless router (only 10/100 mbps)
