Known Issues

Using NetSpeedo to monitor an ADSL router, whilst at the same time trying to connect to that ADSL router via the serial port and/or web interface, can cause NetSpeedo to display the 'Retrieving the router information failed' error message, and then disconnect. The precise behaviour depends on the model and firmware version of the ADSL router that is being used.
