We had some heavy snow so that was fair enough. However, another engineer arrived after a couple of days ("Working on behalf of Openreach" or similar wording on the van) but he immediately told us that he could only do the internal work as the outside needs traffic control.
Fair play to him though, the work he did complete was very neat. (He installed their own version of the CSP box outside which is smaller than the standard Openreach one.)
We are yet to hear of any other update.
In the meantime, I have got around to drawing up the current setup to help me work out the changes needed for the Gigabit Ethernet - attached.
In an attempt to get some sort of resilience, my plan is to disconnect both ethernet cables from the modem near the roof and connect them together. As the MikroTik AP will be replaced with the PN Hub Two, that will allow the Gig Ethernet to get to a new Gigabit Ethernet switch which replaces the PN Hub Zero in an enclosure under the decking.
That means that the new Outside Deco (which has twin 2.5 G Ethernet ports, by the way) will get fast Ethernet backhaul.
(I don't think my wife has seen the attached diagram yet - only did it last night - as she hasn't told me "It's no wonder that we have network problems"!)
The Technicolor router in the shed can't handle the high speed but the cameras down there don't need it.
As ever, any comments would be gratefully received.
