  1. 1. what router brand do you have..??



Recommended Posts

I'm running a Netgear WNDR3800 (running OpenWRT) through a Belkin modem, it's awesome. It replaced my WRT54GL simply because it ran out of flash memory (When I rebooted it lost all my configuration settings, and doing anything too stressful caused it to reboot)

Motorola SGB6580.....it's a gateway (modem + router) hate it, not customizable at all compared to standard routers but I currently have no choice in the matter. Other than the bad user configurability it works fine though.

same here router/modem sucks

Was using a G604T I think it was (Dlink). Till I changed ISP, it kept cutting me off. So, went back to the modem my new ISP gave me (RTA1320v6) till the power adapter decided to die on it lol. It was crap anyway it only had one port on it. So, atm, I'm using a netgear DG834Gv5. Its not too bad, dont use the wireless on it tho. I'll probably change to a Netcomm NB6Plus4Wn. Or maybe a TP-link TD-W8960N. Both are wireless N modems. Since the TP-Link has url filtering, the Netcomm doesnt. I'll probably get some powerline adapters too. Save me using wireless, or cables. Some powerlines seem to be more reliable than wireless

I have

1x Zyxel USG20W Router (Works very well for me) Current uptime 75 days and internet is 75 days as well

2x DLINK DIR 655 now acting as Access Points

1x Linksys WRT54GL running DD-WRT as a test router for lending to clients that are having problems

1x DLINK DIR 655 I just installed at work for Router/Wifi

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Microsoft adds reusable skills and finance data connectors to Copilot in Excel by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft is giving Copilot in Excel a collection of new features aimed squarely at finance teams. The update introduces reusable instructions for common tasks, connections to services such as FactSet and Morningstar, and a better way to review what Copilot intends to do before it starts changing a workbook. The most interesting addition is 'Skills' finally coming to Copilot in Excel. Skills let companies teach Copilot how to handle a recurring process, so employees do not need to write the same detailed prompt every month. Users can create skills that can specify the steps Copilot should follow, along with the required layout, formulas, and formatting. Microsoft says users can create their own skills by saving a SKILL.md file in OneDrive. The file is written using Markdown and tells Copilot when and how to perform the task. Once it is available, a user can select the skill in the Copilot pane or mention it in a prompt using the @ symbol. There is also a library of prebuilt finance skills for customers who do not want to create their own. Microsoft plans to let developers distribute additional skills through the Microsoft Marketplace and the Microsoft 365 Admin Center, with LSEG, Ramp, Rogo, samaya.ai, Velixo, and Vena among the first partners involved. The company says that it is also expanding the external data that Copilot can access from inside Excel. New connectors are being added for CB Insights, Daloopa, FactSet, Morningstar, PitchBook, and S&P Global data through technology developed by Kensho. There is a catch, however. Accessing these services may require a separate subscription from the relevant data provider, so a Microsoft 365 Copilot licence will not necessarily unlock all of them. FactSet is also only available in preview for now, with general availability planned for July. Microsoft is also trying to make Copilot’s workbook edits easier to inspect. Users can switch to a planning mode that shows which sheets, cell ranges, formulas, and assumptions Copilot intends to work with before it begins making changes. Once the work is complete, the Show Changes pane can distinguish edits made by Copilot from those made by human collaborators. The update continues Microsoft’s push to turn Excel Copilot from a chatbot into an agent that can carry out longer tasks. The company previously added an Agent Mode capable of planning and completing multi-step Excel work. Microsoft also recently acquired financial AI startup Fintool, another indication that finance is becoming a key target for its Excel AI strategy. Prebuilt skills, personalization, workbook rules, external connectors, planning mode, and Copilot attribution in Show Changes are generally available to Microsoft 365 Copilot customers using Excel on the web, Windows, and macOS. Custom skills are initially available to Microsoft 365 Insiders on Windows and Mac starting today. Microsoft plans to make them generally available across Windows, Mac, and the web over the next month. Partner-built skills are expected during the third quarter of the year. Availability may still differ depending on region and licensing.
    • Exactly. They serve different (although related) purposes.
    • Do not enter the code under any circumstances, or you will be sorry. It's definitely and most likely a hacking attempt.  That happened to me a couple of years ago, and I kept receiving those prompts for months. It's simply the attacker trying to get you tired of the constant requests, so you just give up and enter the code, so they can log in to your account.
