Re: Full Fibre wifi issues

When I said LAN extender I meant WiFi extender. I brought a TP-Link AC750 RE220. It can use used as a WiFi Repeater, so it goes WiFi to router and WiFi to devices. You can also connect a LAN cable between it and a PC.

Re: Full Fibre wifi issues

Hi thks. Yes got sent home during covid but now work is mainly reading and uploading completed work that I carried out elsewhere. Mostly work on site now. Never been given a work wifi set up didn't know you had to be given one.Yes I plan to buy a very long ethernet and drill hole in wall to locate router where it used to be. Before I drill I hope to move position within the room to avoid making holes!

That is totally correct.


Is it? I suppose it depends on exactly what is meant by "complicated". My fibre, after exiting the CSP box downwards, turns right, then goes around two 'right angled' walls - one outie and one innie - before turning vertically upwards prior to going through a hole in the outer wall. How "complicated" can it get before it fails?
