You got ripped off.

You can buy Paintshop Pro Upgrade direct from their site for £49.99, unless you're talking about the Ultimate edition?

Re: What have you just bought?

Teva FI-5 sandals. My first Teva's (F3000A) I bought in 2000 and lasted well into the 2010's, then I got FI-4 and they've only managed a few years - less well designed (to my mind - probably technically better though).
Price on Teva = £80, on Amazon also around £80 but what's this slightly different entry at £68, and in my size with a blue strap £61 - much better.

Re: What have you just bought?

I feel that you have purchased a product that is not suitable as it is slow and doesn't support the latest WiFi standards and only wireless 2.4g and not 5g.

I would recommend cancelling this and making a thread to get help on what you should alternatively buy.

I concur with SnoopZ. You really don’t want to buy that.

Thanks for the feedback SnoopZ and bbxxl, but too late as it has arrived today, nevermind it must be better than previous, will bear in mind what you have said.

If it is just being used to extend wifi for browsing and streaming I do not see why it would be a problem. A lot of my Smart products only work on 2.4 Ghz anyway and seeing as 2.4Ghz has more range then 5Ghz I likely would set them up on that anyway

That’s great if you’re happy with it.

My 5G is far faster 2 floors away than my 2.4G is next to the router.

Your choice.

I was just reassuring Tinky and you did digest that I was only saying I would only set up my Smart home with 2.4Ghz as a lot of the devices I have only support that?

And as for speed I do not transfer data wirelessly across my network I just stream and browse the web. I take it from your post you do transfer data wirelessly or at the very least run a speedtest haha

If you are happy, that’s all that matters. But streaming over 2.4G?

Re: What have you just bought?

I only intend to use for browsing and streaming, we live in a small 2 bed bungalow. One of our TV's is in the conservatory (my room) and occasionally I do experience buffering, I just thought this would help. Now to work out how to install???????
