We're living with my grandmother temporarily, and we don't want the risk of trip hazard so had to get a good WiFi router.

It goes down whenever she uses the microwave - awesome for me, as I work from home.

Also we're tied to using her ISPs router because we didn't want to risk losing her phone number and other dramas moving to ours, so the modem router we use is theirs, and it sucks and the first two have blown up in the space of a year - we're on our third.

Meanwhile our great equipment is sitting in plastic crates in the garage.

Oh well. Do it for her!

But why would you lose her phone number using another router? I use the cable company's shitty modem but I have a super nice router, no issues. If her landline phone is actually VoIP then it seems like it should still function with another router? Maybe I'm wrong on that. If it's a true landline then one should have nothing to do with the other though. Oh and one more point if the car comp6just nukes her phone number and hands it to someone else because you hooked up a 3rd party router then seriously eff them.

In Australia, the phone number is tied to the ISP, and she's with the biggest, worst one. We considered porting but the risk would be too great and she was too anxious about it.

We're living here rent free, just paying our share of utilities and saving money while giving her company - I can't complain too much about the small things!
