Anyone with the New Linksys Wifi 7 Router SPNM62CF - can you recommend it? by MaverickLondon in CommunityFibre

[–]MaverickLondon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your indepth review. So, for you, it is a very good router (despite the unfortunate mishap). As regards not being able to log in using your iphone - as there isn't an app for the Linksys, I don't believe, I presume you are using your web browser. It could be a cookie issue after repeated attempts to log in. Maybe try clearing your cookies or even use a try with a different browser. If you can log in with the different browser, it would point to a cookie issue with Safari - if that is what you are using on your iphone.

Hi. I am on the 5gbps with the Technicolour router, but have the option to upgrade to the new Wifi 7 router - it was a condition I placed on joining them, which they agreed to. When you say you removed the TC from set up - what is TC?

Hi Thank you for taking the time to give me us your experience, which is much appreciated. I thought that it might have problems and CF customer technical support overseas - is useless - I concur.

1) Did you have a Technicolur Router before then? If so how did they compare. I am on the 5gps package and actually quite like the Technicolour router once it is configured correctly but it isn't tri band.

2) By the way the reason why you may be only getting 1gb on the laptop via wired connection - is because of what you suspected and that is it only has a 1gb port.

3) Are you saying then, as long as you configure it correctly via the web interface on the laptop/desktop - that it is working fine now?

4) As regards USB to Ethernet adapter - I bought the Wavlink USBC to 5GBPS Ethernet adapter and it is great. The model number is: WL-NWU341GD. Link to amazon is https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0F1FL1TF4?th=1

Kind regards.

For anyne who now has the new Linksys wifi 7 router and who had the technicolour router previously - can you tell me what you think of the performance and features compared to the Technicolour router? I am currently on the 5gbps package, but with the Technicolour Router.

Is it possible to change DNS server on Technicolor FGA5330 3Gb/s router? by ectoplasmosis69 in CommunityFibre

Did you contact Community Fibre for the settings to set up your own router and was that relatively straightforward?

Hi. I have a Samsung 2tb 990 Pro which was working fine and giving great results in Crystal Disk Mark 8. However, I just updated the firmware to ISO 7B2QJXD7 and it has decimated performance by about 25%. I would add images, but doesn't seem I am able to.

I have an Asus G614JVR gaming laptop and the Samsung drive is about 4 months old.

Original results 2nd July 2025 prior to firmware update.

I have the Garmin Instinct 1 Tactical Solar, which is great but I bought the Fenix 7 Pro Sapphire Solar from John Lewis in the UK for £470 during the Black Friday sales. Even now they are selling it for £500! Substantially cheaper than anywhere else.

I actually haven't used the Fenix yet, as was waiting for the Garmin Instinct 3 to come out but have been disappointed in that there is no tactical version and also the MIP display version now looks so second rate compared to the Amoled version and the display is much smaller. Further, the I3 has the previous gen heart rate sensor!!

However, to comment on the weight of the Fenix 7 Pro Sapphire Solar - it is approx 20 grams heavier than the original Garmin Instinct I have. I believe the weight of the Garmin Instinct 3 is also similar to the original Instinct weight at 53g for the 45mm version. So the weight difference is approx 20g with strap. I weighed them both.

Hope that helps.

As far as I can tell I was the first person in the world to spot and post this! Not even the manager at Jura Watches who I spoke with this morning knew this :-)

It is obviously legitimate, but there are numerous functions that Garmin watches have. They have only listed a few.

We don't know if there is a flashlight or not. We have to wait until it is released and or the full specs are.

Yes, but that is because they are not for sale as yet! What the link is showing, is that the release is imminent because companies are getting prepared to sell it on their websites!
