Hi all I have a bit of a (big) problem house is 1865 We have a waste pipe that takes waste from the bathroom ( not loo) and kitchen ( dish washer, washing machine and sink) It occasionaly got blocked but a prod around with a stick and some caustic soda cleared it. Recently it blocked again and...

Rob thanks again. I wont buy the switch until I know what AP I am getting. I am only going to buy a small ( 4 or 5) switch for the office as we want to run that wired from a couple of wall plates. The house just uses the trooli router for the hardwire items. I was only going to buy a 5om drum...

Robin Thanks for that, Its a case of wanting to do it right ( for my situation) but asking people who do this for a living so expect the best and can provide the best. And really I am running away with myself here. I used to use cat to run 1080 video down long runs so cant help feeling that the...

Thanks Lucid there must be some cable sold in the uk that is of acceptable standard surely (??) I was just being lazy and trying to avoid terminating my own cables.

Well I did think that but I thought that if I changed things around a bit and put 2 breakers in; 1 for the 2 sheds and one for the office then if i do something stupid in the garden it doesnt affect the office

Taylor tere was a updated post where I realised that it was actually a 32a breaker in the house

Little bit of an update After speaking to a certified sparks on a job he suggested the following replace the summerhouse cu with a 4 way one run the 2.5swa to the office via a 20a rcbo Use the existing cu to feed the summerhouse. Now heres where it gets a bit trickier. The office also has a...

Too be honest I was just looking at a 40m ready made cable, the poe will hopefully just be a short run (5m) Good advice Thanks I was looking at something like...

Lucid, Thank you so much for your in depth reply. The router I have does output 2.4GHZ . It used to output it as a separate signal because the eufy cameras would not lock on to the single(combined?) signal. I say used to because I can no longer see it (Trooli have been messing around with it...

Thanks for that I will look into that, but I suspect that might be beyond my it skills lol

Ok so confession time i was reading the spec of cat5 etc on the phone and completely cocked up with my 00 and 000 so you are ( as you well know :) ) completely correct. Our wired speed is 300 and we may go up to 900. The office will serve a dual purpose, my wifes office most of the time (...

thanks for the reply not sure about the relevance of burying fibre- I definitely wont be using fibre or burying cables. As I said the office itself will be run on hard wire. The reason for the wifi was to reach the summerhouse (40m from our house 50+ from the neighbours) and to be able to use...

thanks for the reply, but I am a little confused by it. What do you mean by repeater? an what do you mean by 40m getting long? I was led to believe that cat5/6/7 could all run 100m I am not that worried at the moment by the summerhouse- its mainly the office at the moment I have 2 thoughts...

Thanks for the reply robin I dont actually have a router in the kitchen so I was going to buy a cheap switch just to join the cable. I get that cat 5 will support gigabit but wont the speed and bandwidth be lower than if i used cat6/7? I am looking at ubiquiti wap and poe switch. Are you...

Hi all after hijacking this post https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/cat-6-and-wireless-access-points.609318/page-2#post-5500163 Back story: we have a house with a 50m garden At the front we have a fibre set up- Trooli fibre to door 300mb/s Speeds around the house are pretty good but when you...

No its not, the concrete has a dpm fitted. Any thoughts on the original question?

Hi All following on with my multiple posts regarding building my summerhouse. Foundation is done and the base (4.6m x 2.4m) is built. When I laid the base there are a few of the foundations ( compacted MOT1 with cemented flags on top x 12) where the wood is not touching If you stand on the wood...

Thanks for the reply I didnt realise how cheap switches were! though the POE ones are slightly more expensive. Evolving the idea slightly; The cable that runs to the kitchen might reach the point where i will install the switch. If this is the case could I install a cheap switch (merely to avoid...

That was my initial thought, then i thought of actually putting the switch in the office That way I only have to do one run from the kitchen ( it involves a tortuous route under decking etc) And we can also have a hard wired connection in the office. Sadly the wire cant really go though...

Sorry but hijacking this post a bit I am in a similar situation to the op I have a router in the living room with a cat5 run through the house to the kitchen ready to be extended to our summerhouse at the end of the garden. (40m) We have now decided to build an office halfway up the garden (...
