| 1262386 | 2012-03-01 03:53:00 | Hi, Several postings back we had discussions on TiVo capability-well I did anyway I had signed up for a free TiVo given by Telecom,in appreciation of 14 years loyalty- all that I had to do was stay loyal for 12 months (that is academic anyway) After those discussions I decided to go My Sky , so I wrote cancelling the contract ( a cancellation form was issued with the signing -and was cancelled 3 days after signing This afternoon a Courier delivered a suitcase sized,very heavy,--it was the TiVo Quandary ! it was mine to keep anyway,was so heavy I expect $30 to return it,and possibly have someone at despatch commandeer it, as it had been signed out off Telecom's books anyway If I keep this and install it say to my bedroom,when MySky would be installed in the lounge, I could in theory have didgtal in both rooms-free ;-) Would my Thompson v7 Router ( wireless and ethernet ) work both on ethernet ( for the computer ) and wireless (for the TiVo) at the same time I must keep the ethernet as the speed avareages over 14.000 mb/s and wireless is known to be slower effie c |

| 1262387 | 2012-03-01 04:55:00 | Yes it will work fine, that's kind of the point of the router :) | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1262388 | 2012-03-01 06:17:00 | Hi Dugimoto, Thank you--so my pressent usuage is through ethernet,and even without 'setting it up" that wireless is operating at this moment anyway? effie c |

| 1262389 | 2012-03-01 07:24:00 | It may not be enabled, I don't know. And you may want to check the security options and set a password, but it can't definitely coexist happily with the ethernet. | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1262390 | 2012-03-01 08:45:00 | With the 585V8 it's a wireless and ethernet modem. If the orange light on the front is pushed it will be wireless. If it isn't pushed then there will be no wireless. | Snorkbox (15764) | ||
| 1262391 | 2012-03-01 20:00:00 | Thank you Snorkbox, this router is a v7 (Thompson) the only lights are the one that says the internet is connected and active-there is push button 0m/off switch with no light on the opposite side of the various plugs etc,and at the bottom of the router appears to be a 5 cent size button,almost like a fuse holder-no light on it. When I got this router I was having some trouble with drop outs and the Thompson v8 that Telecom sent me was replaced with a v7, and rarely drops out-say 1 a month-Telecom said 10 times a day was acceptable- like hell to that Could I be "on wireless all along,whilst using ethernet? Somebody has suggested that the wireless has an auto site protection password built in,on start up effie c |

| 1262392 | 2012-03-01 22:50:00 | If there are no lights on at the front of the router then you will not be on wireless. Push the button on the front of the router and you will see it go orange. If that light is not on then you have no wireless. | Snorkbox (15764) | ||
| 1262393 | 2012-03-02 01:14:00 | Hi Snorkbox, There is a light on the front and I see another one,diode, not on just below it-from that I will accept that it is wireless and incidently a Google on Thomson v7 router talks about wirtless in that version O k I am now going to set it up-if you hear an explosion in Tokoroa - that will be me ;-( Thanks effie c |
