Sad to see Gemma leaving but this is so touching interview about Gemma's time at LFC. She's been one of the most outstanding players at LFC Womens. Ledge!

thought I'd share my experience of replacing my Zyxel EX3301-T0 router with a TP-Link Deco BE65 - dead easy!

I wanted a router that didn't have those big antennae and spotted a good price for the TP BE65. I have poorer connectivity downstairs, from the Zyxel router, and I wanted the ability to install a VPN client.

My steps were:

1. obtain MAC address for current router
2. power up new TP-Link router
3. Configure new network via the TP-Link Deco app, also update the MAC Clone feature with the MAC address from step 1.
4. Swap network cable from the ONT box to the new router (any port will do)
5. Test the new network for internet
6. Rename the new network with the name of the old network (and also it's password). This will allow you not to bother reconfiguring all your existing devices with a new SSID.
7. switch off the Zyxel router
8. I also configured a VPN Client on the Deco app.

All this was simple in the end, and works a treat.

Hope this might help others.
