on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)0 -
A process of elimination should pinpoint where the fault lies.
To test the router, move the ethernet cable of the working PC to each of the other ports in turn and check for connectivity.
