Believe it or not, living in the back of beyond half way up a mountain, my Internet & phone line still run over the good old copper network. Until now, when Movistar sent me a new-fangled 4G router (for self install).

What a pain... Scrappy cheaply printed instructions in a font difficult to read. Gets worse, the WiFi login details printed in miniscule on a label stuck to the underside of the router, with a default password of 20 random letters & digits (😝). I knew how to get to the router's admin page & changed it to something more 'human friendly'.

Of course, to replicate my existing network settings, I still have to change the SSID & dhcp ranges.

God help the other poor sods in the village who get this rubbish system dumped on them - first buy a magnifying glass to read the laughable install instructions.

Grrrrrrr 😝😝😝
