Hi all
First, apologies in advance as I'm very new to all this side of things.
I've got one of the above routers wired to a gigabit switch, to which are connected an Xbox One, PS4, Apple TV and my works laptop as and when I need to.
What's happened is quite odd. I was downloading a digital game on PSN whilst using a VPN to get onto the works network. I was running TOAD to connect to Oracle databases and started getting TNS Timeouts. Also a couple of hyperlinks for URLs that I've used before seem to be looking externally as I'm getting the BT page saying it can't find what I'm looking for.
It seems as though all the resources were allocated to the PSN download and it somehow mixed up the VPN connection. I know the software for this has traffic management so is there any way I can give 'priority' to my works laptop? I've got a workaround for it but it's a bit of a pain and don't want to have to keep doing this every time this happens.
I suppose the easiest thing for me to do is press the reset button on the back of the router for 5 seconds and it'll probably sort itself out. What will this actually do by the way? I take it it won't reset the admin and WiFi password setting and just clear something out? What exactly?
Thanks for your help.
