    Was apprehensive to install laminate in our kitchen, however fitted Quickstep c6 years ago and I can't find a single spot of wear or damage on it - very impressed

    Security Camera Requirement

    Haha, I'm half expecting to go out there one night and find someone squatting on the drive. I don't think I've upset anyone.... Thanks for the advice, I hadn't appreciated IR wouldn't work through glass. Narrowed it down then to either a small outdoor camera with a flat ethernet cable through...

    Security Camera Requirement

    I had considered that, but there isn't really anywhere outside I could mount it to gain the height need to cover the driveway, whereas their is a window situated in just the right spot that I could place a small camera in the corner of. Wyze looks ideal, but not available in the UK by the...

    Security Camera Requirement

    Hi, Is anyone able to provide some advice, security cameras are area I know very little about. Someone (or possibly a wild animal) is continually fouling on our shingle driveway and I would like to catch them. Have a need for a security camera, video doorbell won't cover the area I need to...

    Stereo amp update - Network stereo amp wanted!

    I have, it also looks to fit the bill nicely, would really like to hear all 3 before picking, but obvs unlikely in the current climate. I keep changing my mind on network streamers Vs Bluetooth. I gather the sound quality can be better through lossless formats supported over WiFi and like the...

    Stereo amp update - Network stereo amp wanted!

    In a similar boat as you. Exclusively use tidal on an old Denon Micro but with an external Bluetooth receiver, looking to upgrade, but to another mini. Arcam Solo Uno and NAD D3020 V2 are top of the list so far. I'm surprised there aren't more amplifier/network streamers on the market.

    Accident Advice - Rear Ended

    Hi, First off, apologies because I know a lot of these posts get made, but from searching I can't find a similar scenario involving two other third parties. Family member has been hit in the rear whilst stationary, however the car that hit them has done so because a car hit them from the rear...

    Home networking help

    Hi, I have a working wifi link between my house and a summerhouse in the garden which I use an office, however it now sounds like both me and my partner are going to be working from home longer term now due to COVID-19 so I need to connect 2 laptops up instead of 1. Over the years, I've now...

    Tenda MW6 - Mesh WiFi speeds

    For anyone that was interested, I turned off a setting called "Capicity Oriented Mode" and the speed has jumped to 70mbps, which is now maxing out my fibre. Very happy with it now. Thanks for your input b0rn2sk8, much appreciated

    Tenda MW6 - Mesh WiFi speeds

    Thanks for your reply. I completely follow the logic on the secondary nodes being slower the more 'hops' from the main AP. I suppose it's the main AP/Node performance I'm most disappointed by when I'm sat so near to it, I can't see why its performance should be materially different from the...

    Tenda MW6 - Mesh WiFi speeds

    Hi, Our house was suffering from dead spots in certain rooms so I purchased a budget Tenda mw6 mesh system to try and improve the situation. Sure enough, there are now no deadspots, but the speeds I'm getting across the various nodes seems poor. For instance 5m from the primary node, which is...

    Android to iPhone - WhatsApp Groups

    Hi, I've transferred my dad's SIM card from his old android phone in to one of my old iPhone handsets. Completed the WhatsApp verify number process on the iPhone, however none of his group chats have restored, so when sending him a msg it keeps appearing on the old android handset and not the...

    Oil smell inside car cabin

    Definitely the clamp/gasket leaking between the turbo and dpf, took a look this morning and lots of soot deposits on it and the heat shield behind it. One for the garage to sort I think.

    Oil smell inside car cabin

    Sorry to drag this thread up from the past, but did you find a fix ? Exact issue on my 2012 Golf 1.6TDI, have read it could be the gasket and clamp between the Turbo and dpf that seems to fail.

    WiFi between house and Shed

    Yeah just emails, shared drives and Skype calls, more than than enough. Our fibre line is only 40mbps, so I'm pretty sure that's the limiting factor rather than the WiFi kit

    WiFi between house and Shed

    I'm more than happy, i wasn't expecting it to work at all without attaching something to the outside of the house. Like I say, its working just as well as the WiFi devices inside the house.

    WiFi between house and Shed

    In case anyone was interested, took and chance a bought a single ubiquiti nanostation loco m5, expecting to have to buy a 2nd to create a bridge between the house and the summerhouse. However just tested down at the shed with the nanostation acting in station/router mode and getting a solid...

    WiFi between house and Shed

    Whats different with the TP Link option over the Nanostation M5's that means you could just run one? I thought they are both essentially just directional wireless access points ?

    WiFi between house and Shed

    It's an old 5 floor Victorian house that has been split in to two maisonettes, garden split in half, I have the 'rear' half garden and downstairs has the 'front' half. Previous owner used the summerhouse as an office, hence the power supply, which as far as I can tell doesn't feed from the...
