Looking for old router

Ganga from Hamilton East

Hi neighbours... I am looking for an old/unused NON-ADSL router that you may have lying around and have no more use for. The office of a local community organisation where I volunteer has very poor WiFi from the building owners (a church), so I am going to convert one of their LAN points into a … View moreHi neighbours... I am looking for an old/unused NON-ADSL router that you may have lying around and have no more use for. The office of a local community organisation where I volunteer has very poor WiFi from the building owners (a church), so I am going to convert one of their LAN points into a local wireless network. This will help them connect their phones, tablets and laptops for internet access. Currently, the connection is so poor that everyone uses their data plan instead.

Please note that I need a standard router and not the ones used with ADSL plans (the connection port is different). If you have been using fibre broadband or perhaps a router that was used in an office with LAN access, the router is likely what I'm looking for.

Thanks in advance, guys!

Traffic choke points in city

Matt Bowen Reporter from Waikato Times

Four Hamilton "choke points" are in the sights of a city councillor who says the traffic flow needs to be fixed.

Afternoon everyone,

Four Hamilton "choke points" are in the sights of a city councillor who says the traffic flow needs to be fixed.

And council experts agree that growth is putting more pressure on Hamilton roads than ever before.

Are there any intersections or roundabouts that really grind your gears? Also, are there any other traffic/driving/etiquette related gripes that you'd like to share?

We're hoping to get an idea of what really gets up the noses of city drivers.

NOTE: Add NFP to your comment if you do not want to be quoted in any follow up articles on the topic.

Free ceiling and wall lights

Fiona from Hillcrest

I have two sets of hanging ceiling lights and two matching wall lights to give away. 1950s or 1960s era I'm guessing. They have a solid wood centre piece which has 5 brass 'legs' coming out from it. White light shades (two are missing, but similar replacements can be got.) The wall … View moreI have two sets of hanging ceiling lights and two matching wall lights to give away. 1950s or 1960s era I'm guessing. They have a solid wood centre piece which has 5 brass 'legs' coming out from it. White light shades (two are missing, but similar replacements can be got.) The wall lights match. Free to anyone who wants them. Could be good for a retro bach perhaps.
