The side walls on the 2.6 arent much different than the 2.3 so its not going to be like a 29er.

(Assuming you are serious about running out) I don't think you understand how ip addressing and the internet work.

Here's your solution, dependant on the capability of your onsite CE router:

On my old Draytek-style unit, it was possible to set up a guest wifi/secondary subnet thing on another SSID. The idea is that this can be shared with transient users. Usefully, it allows the creation of a different RFC1918 scope than from the 'main' one.

So what you need to do is interrogate your router's management pages to see if you have this. You probably will.

If so, set it up with something different to the troublesome range, and when your wife wants to vpn out, get her to use this SSID, or if the router supports it, even a wired connection into this subnet.

I charge £750 per day normally, but if this works, chuck some money in a CF Trust collection tin next time you go past one 🙂

If the IT department are right, presumably many of their other home users have the same issue? Which makes their implementation barmy.

thanks codybrennan - nice try but no facility on Netgear Nighthawk (How cool does that name sound?) to set a different IP scope on the Guest Wifi SSID.

Do you still charge £750 a day if your advice doesnt work? 😉

Wrong on both counts. Probably...

Right, about to send out the 10 minute warning to all children and InternetOfThings within a 50m radius of my desk because the 0 is about to become a 1. This is like passing round the backside of the moon. If I dont make it back, it all went to shit. Tell my wife I love her and bury me with my bikes.

Ach. Well, it was worth a shot. To be accurate- my employer charges the £750 🙁

You'll be reet once you readdress. Catch you on the flipside.
