New hardware
Today two pieces of new hardware arrived, that I ordered: a new router – the successor of my Vigor 2925: Vigor 2926. Fun part is I can simply configure that one using the backup of the 2925 :). But that can wait – since the DNS issues I encountered were solved. However, it has some advantages over the 2925: Throughput through the firewall is significantly faster, it should now be possible to use the full 160Mbs speed…And it can refresh DHCP-delivered data much faster so viewing TV will have less hick-ups.
Second there came a new laptop – I got more and more frustrated that my good old, 6 year old HP 17 inch ProBook 4720 failed updating time and time again to update the Windows 10 1511 version : to 1803 hangs at 75% and 82%, to 1903 as wel but made it to 90%…. So I goy myself an HP Envy, 17 inch, running a 10th Generation I7.
Just that it has Home edition installed, so upgraded to Pro. Logged in onto my Ms Account and got quite a lot of installed software and configurations that are stored in my account – saves a huge amount of work.
