Thank you very much for the replies and for the link to Screwfix Ray

Thank you Rocky … could the tube have “gone“ and still light perfectly for a couple of seconds?

This is at a friends house a distance away, Single 5' Fluorescent new enough not to have a starter Turn the light on, it comes on perfectly normal, no flickering, then goes of after maybe 2 seconds Just have to wait a short while to do it again. It does it exactly the same each time. It won't...

Thanks, will check and let you know …

Sorry I meant the RJ45 Ethernet faceplate where the Xbox is currently connected.

Thank you, will the signal strength from the second router be much less than direct from the face plate?

Thank you FM, I understand what your saying about a switch but can a second router be used as a switch and a wifi extender ? Ray

The other interest in where it goes is to be able to shorten it back at some point rather than having a loaded pipe running thro the house for no reason.

Someone who worked on the site told me the pipe would be buried in the screed and I assumed it was until yesterday when I checked the wall with a Bosch PMD sensor prior to drilling for a TV support ... there is a distinct vertical signal all way up the wall about 500mm to the right.

In one of the neighbouring garages in a slightly different house the gas pipe travels horizontally at waist height to the end of the garage then goes up through the ceiling.

Just the ground floor is solid, upstairs is chipboard.

The floors are solid ... like a soft concrete, mainly covered in marble tiles and click wooden flooring.

In a two storey detached 1998 Beazer Home with an integral garage since changed into an office, utility room and toilet obscuring the plumbing behind the plasterwork, what path would you expect the gas pipe to take from the garage outside wall meter to the free standing fire in the lounge ...

The signal in the office is as good as it can be now the Ethernet cable is installed. Thank you again for your help Ray

Thank you for that

When I get the Ethernet faceplate connected up I'm still thinking about putting a second router in that room (Office) I have done it four times over the years at my own house but never sure it's exactly as it should be. These are the instructions I've been using .... Setting up a second...

I ran the Ethernet cable round the house and not wanting to drill from the inside outwards I went to the trouble of taking measurements thro a window on the adjacent wall and transferring them round the corner and down the side of the house ... luckily it landed in the right place. :D

Regarding turning the DHCP off I’ll have to find my instructions out … there are loads of steps to take, and it may be some of them are unnecessary

Thank you for going to the trouble to explain in an understandable way. As I mentioned I have two routers in our house… a forty foot square bungalow with the router in one corner and no Wi-Fi in the other were it not for the second unit. I understand what you mean about the complexity of...
