Exactly. Job done!

I reviewed one of those 'home to China' cameras, and checking with Wireshark it was astonishing how much data was going back and forth to China. It wasn't just the pictures, it seemed the PC's CPU was actually doing something else for them. As for 'opening up your router' it's only necessary to...

You don't need a coupler. You can buy a Cat6 extension cable that has a socket on one end. More reliable and takes less space. Choose the length you need. https://www.amazon.co.uk/UGREEN-11278-Ethernet-Extension-Connector/dp/B00QV0K2DI

and deep pockets!

Mine don't look anything like that. Did the cameras come from a reputable source? There are cheap ripoffs about.

Thank you for that link! It does suggest that the current Drayton are a direct replacement. I did read somewhere that a wiring change was needed. Just to be sure, I'll contact their tech support.

We have a Drayton Tempus 7 control which is failing. The switches don't always connect properly. It seems the latest Drayton models are not a direct replacement as they need wiring changes. Is there any controller that would be a straight plug-in replacement?

What network are you on? Try the others. EE have the widest 5G coverage

You can try it but they may not want to run the fibre in with a bunch of cables in case of mechanical damage. Is there room for the green tube that they use to protect the fibres outside?

No. In modem mode there is no router function, so only one ethernet socket will be active.

You can do what you like with that existing copper wire. But within two years (unless you live in a remote area) it will be replaced with a fibre from the same pole. Openreach will want to terminate that fibre on the nearest wall, although you may be able to discuss the exact location at the...

The default is for the fibre to be run on the same route as the old copper wires. Around here the fibres run across the road from the same pole to the same fixings on the houses.

You have nothing connected to that old phone socket, whoever provided it, so it is now redundant If you have a Virgin phone service it must by now be connected to a socket on the Hub. You can remove the phone socket since it will never be used again.

The BT cable would probably have been there first. When Virgin was installed, the fitter pushed their coax through the same hole to save having to drill anothe hole through the wall. If you are on Virgin then the BT box can be removed. It will be redundant anyway if you go back to BT in the...

You're far better off replacing with another wired pad. The wireless keypad has a much inferior dim LCD display, and you won't have to bother with batteries.
