    My 2 year old Talktalk router has a USB 2.0 port on the back, but I looked in to using it, it didn't seem simple. Lets hope yours is more straight forward.

    Yes I hope so but don't know. Usb3 and I have a small one I could pop in initially with music and pics etc.

    And yes it's talk talk I'm going to. Am with plumber and their pricing is getting silly. Was up to 38 pounds. When I phoned them they said they would reduce it to 26 if I resigned and. Cancelled talk talk. But my speed has also been dropping and I don't like cancelling. They were told if my price had been kept competitive it wouldn't happen.

    Been with TT about 10 years, their service has got better, well, let's face it, it couldn't have got much worse! They have a "Loyalty Section" and seem to do me a good price.

    This may be of interest. I was a bit scared of making the router inoperative by fiddling with settings, so left it alone.

    Used to be free TT to TT for four hours.

    The "Anytime" I think, add on may be worth considering.

    It was about 2007 I had quite a lot of trouble. They gave me a fixed IP to improve matters, I believe was really for business use. This worked fine until they enforced a router change. Internet would cut off after a few min. They changed me back to a dynamic IP address, and all was well, has been for some years.
