Thanks so the ONT does not radiate anything? That's good! Yes the installation chaps came yesterday and I hadn't thought it though about where to put the ONT etc and just said ahh where ever you like. So stuck it next to bedhead in bedroom. Not bothered about the ONT staying there really just...

I've bought a 30m cat 6 cable.

can I not just buy a longer ethernet cable and move router to a place my wife is happier with?

Maybe if I just buy a 25 m ethernet cable and move router some other place wouod that would? Would a Cat.6 ethernet cable work or have to buy a cat.5 one?

We have electricians in at the moment doing rewiring. Maybe it's easier and faster to just just buy a extension cable and ask them to drill a couple of holes?

My wife just said she doesn't want it right next to her head while sleeping. Also thinks it would be better to have it somewhere else in the house anyway. It's a mistake that's cost me £60 to get it repositioned and also to have to wait longer and more inconvenience. Think it's fibre to...

Hi all Bt came and installed the WIFI and the little white box (what is name of it?) And the router. They installed it in the bedroom as was closest place from the wire on the poles. However when my Mrs found out she was not happy with me at all. She doesn't want the router next to where she...

Thanks. So this what you linked too, this mesh type unit, is different to the standard WIFI BT will install in my house? This is something better that I can ask BT to install when he arrives?

Thanks all Managed to get the desk top computer to connect to my mobile hotspot. No idea how it didn't work the other day. I will only be using the desk top computer in the loft room very occasionally for the time being atlesst. So maybe better to just use it connecting to the hotspot or buy...

Hello all Hoping for some advice on what best to do in this situation? I have a BT engineer coming tomorrow to install Broadband. I would like the router in the living room or shelf in hallway. However the computer will be in the loft room which is essentially the 3rd level of the house...

Hi all Our electrician is installing new sockets and I asked him if he can fit sockets with USBs on them. He said no problem. I maybe understanding him wrong but I am sure he said that he has installed 35 mm black boxes in the sockets and it's not a problem to replace with 25mm sockets with USB...

Thanks all. Our electrician said he couldn't find any IP66 or IP67 outdoor lights. Not sure if he was looking for a specific type that's why. He was looking for one that you can adjust the angle of the sensor if we found that it would go off when passing cars went off etc. He said IP65 would...

Thanks. So it might be hard to find a outdoor light with a PIR sensor, ability to turn light on and off on a permanent setting, and off altogether?

Thanks so you mean to put everything in place for an out door light if I want one later but not to actually put a light in? Can you get lights which I can switch between sensor and turned on until I turn off?

Hi all Would love some advice on an outdoor light. We are getting our place rewired and thought maybe a good chance to get an outdoor light fitted at the front door. But what are peoples recommendations? The electrician said he would recommend one that you just turn on inside the house so it's...

Thanks all Also when I select installation wirh delivery for the dishwasher, how do I know if I need to get a plumber to do something first to the pipe work as the people before never had a dishwasher.

Thanks all How about this? I'll buy two of these https://www.screwfix.com/p/british-general-ip66-13a-1-gang-dp-weatherproof-outdoor-switched-socket/35096 And ask the sparky to install them on different circuits and place them under counter in the best possible positions. Would thus be a...

I read "DON’T use the washing machine and dishwasher at the same time as the loading will be more than 16 amps." I also read that a solution is to install 2 single sockets rather than a double socket? Would this prevent power overload? But isn't it still on the same circuit? Just different...
