The problem disappears when I connect -- using the same Ethernet cable -- directly into the high speed modem; then, loading speeds are quick as a flash. When I go back to the router with a wired connection, same again -- very very very slow page uploads.
Leonardo da Vinci was born on April 15, 1452, in Vinci, Italy. Born out of wedlock, the love child of a respected notary and a young peasant woman, he was raised by his father, Ser Piero, and his stepmothers. At the age of 14, da Vinci began apprenticing with the artist Verrocchio.
By the way, don't confuse Leonardo of Pisa with Leonardo da Vinci ! Vinci was just a few miles from Pisa on the way to Florence, but Leonardo da Vinci was born in Vinci in 1452, about 200 years after the death of Leonardo of Pisa (Fibonacci).
