I found out tonight that the firmware in my router was hopelessly out of date, so decided to upgrade. What a pallava.
The upgrade failed four times, and I thought I'd well and truly killed it :pray:. I was nearly ready to break out the spare in the cupboard, when suddenly, the fifth attempt worked (after unplugging the phone cable to avoid flagging an error at BT, and powering it down a hundred times).
It was definitely hairy there for a while. Ahh, well. All's well that ends well. At least, now I can go to bed :yawn:

Don't you just hate upgrades, Steve. :)
It's like the leap of faith :fingers: :eek4:
Sweat palms, laboured breathing... and that's just walking upstairs to the computer. :)

Sounds like a bit of a close shave! Bet you got in a right lather ;D
Sharp, Ted. ;D
I'm glad you got there in the end, Steve. I guess it's why a lot of people apply the old "if it ain't broke..."
I tend to like to do upgrades, even if I'm not having any problems, though. ;)
Masochist. :)

Sounds like the first time I had to restore from a backup. I had palpitations for days after :laugh:

Know just what you mean, Ian. The waiting for something to fall over syndrome. :)
After reading the thread heading i was going to say whay not take the router to the barbers. ;D
I see you're using a clipped accent today, Alf. :)

It's my curse, too. I fit ain't broke - upgrade it anyway, you might break it this time.
Having said that - it's hanging on at a slightly better sync (7104 instead of 6944) with what seems to be a better SNR (at this time of night, 6.5 instead of 6.0) so fingers crossed it was worth it :)
Well there you go. :)
