Hi James: Do you mean this one: czcams.com/video/IyScumQnYNY/video.htmlsi=uA7M9EE5iBmfeDIO I'll see if I can dig out my receipt for where I got them.

W10 Home does not allow native Remote Desktop, nor does it have Group Policy. You could explore using an alternative like Chrome Remote Desktop, anydesk or TeamViewer.

@@Builtbypete thanks!

@@fitzgeraldlimisella4393 you are welcome

I planned to use my router and Aimesh. I didn't even try using theirs. I have one AiMesh mode and it gives great performance. On my older WiFi devices I get around 350mbps but on new WiFi standards I get over 700.

@@Builtbypete any product links for router and mesh?

That's strange. If you scroll to the bottom of the pi hole web interface it shows the command there. Did you run it with sudo?

@@Builtbypete Mine says " to install updates, replace this old container with a fresh upgraded image" i ran a simple install through CasaOS no command line work. and now when i try the pihole -up nothing happens

So if you added the 28 it wasn't as fast. Just stick with the number without the 28 if it works better 👍

Hi David. Glad it's all setup and thank you for subscribing. Really appreciate it. Not sure the best thing to do about the landline. I ported my number out to a VoIP provider, although to be honest I never used the landline.

@@Builtbypete Thanks for the reply Pete, I'm clutching at straws here but going to try and look for maybe some kind of adaptor/decoder from BT that may fit into one of the ethernet ports on my TP-Link that allows the phone connector access or even some type of BT WiFi only phone but chances are probably zero. I do have an Openreach engineer coming to the house Monday as I had issues at the start of my BT contract which I managed to resolved myself. If I don't cancel do you think there is anything he/she could do with the other Openreach box below my fiber one? The older one that houses the two phone connectors before the fiber was installed, I'm assuming they are dead ports now or do you think they will look at what I've done and after he's drunk the coffee I made him say "not our problem" and leave, as my internet connection is giving me exactly what I want and I've chosen to ditch the SH2. A long shot or will I just be wasting both our time. Thanks

The BT digital phone is coded to their service. Your old box is likely dead and BT are switching off the old PSTN network anyway. Can you cancel their landline phone and maybe go with a separate VoIP provider.

@@Builtbypete yeah that was probably our best option. We were only 12 days into our contract so contacted BT to cancel the landline. Explained the situation and the guy was fine about it, he also said as the contract has been changed we will be getting another router sent out EE one this time, even though I said I didn’t want it. I’ll look into VoIP phones when I get around to it. Thanks for the advice Pete 👍

That's good. Will they give you a bit of a reduction to your contract too. I can't believe they are sending you another router when you don't need it. Typical BT. LOL.

A small amount of lag can be normal in those situations.

If you plug it into a USB power supply, then plug USB devices into it, then you are able to remotely switch the power on an off. You can also integrate it into smart home hubs. Essentially a smart switch to control power to usb powered devices

​@@Builtbypete its like alexa ?

No, Alexa is a hub. These are the devices you control to switch devices on and off.

I've ordered a few more. Great little devices and so damn cheap £££

You're welcome!

Hi. Try adding :8443 at the end of the LAN address.

I work in IT and didn’t think of that! Thanks for the response!

Your welcome 👍

Hi Mike. Yes, it's fantastic value and with Tasmota everything stays local and avoids sharing data over the cloud. I'm going to buy a few more. So cheap.

@@Builtbypete Perfect keeping it local is the best method Pete for sure thanks for uploading this

Your welcome Mike

Your welcome. They should make it clear on their adverts

I'd the power supply is on and plugged in, then it's either power supply or the modem it's is faulty.

Hey. For MRU you need to connect from an external source. I us d an OpenVPN server running on my router and then connected via a client to optimise the MRU using the same process in this video.

Great tip!

No, you can't do that as far as I can see.

I've not used the 3em. On the web interface can you click on the arrow icon. On my shelly that downloads a csv file that you can open in excel.

@@Builtbypete ah ok, no worries thanks for the reply. Well now I’ve watched your vid and know how to get onto the interface after about a week of trying 😂 it shows you a value in Watts but when I download the csv the values are in Watt hours! 🤷🏽‍♂️ just need to know the max recorded value in amps but can’t find out how to see it! Thanks again mate!

@@RikkiColegate on the CSV just add a column and do watts divided by the volts and that will give you amps.

@@Builtbypete yeah, sorry it doesn’t show up as watts when I download the data, even though I’m downloading the data next to the Watt measurement?? Sorry mate. Don’t want to hassle you anymore 😂 Ill just get try get hold of the Shelly support! 👍🏾 cheers though! Appreciate it!

No worries at all. Let us know how you get on.

Thank you. Much appreciated 👍

You are welcome

I just plugged my router straight into the modem with an ethernet cable .

Your are welcome 👍

I dont know to be honest. I haven't used an EE router. I have just switched to community fibre and I managed to use my ASUS router with that provider OK.

Yeah, it was a pure impulse buy, but for £0.80p you can't go wrong 😅

Thank you 👍

Thanks. I think given the way the earth blocks screw down to the rail you would be right.

@@Builtbypete Thanks. I think I would rather use just a regular combiner block for ground that didn't have metal feet to the din rail that would pass overflowing current thru in the event of an overage to a dedicated ground wire to earth ground.

Yes, you can do that. I would suggest making it a fused spur for safety. 👍

@@Builtbypete brilliant, thank you chap

Your welcome

@@Builtbypete Would there ever be any point in putting a junction box into the ring main, then go down into the fused spur box then onto the appliance.

No, not really. That would end up just being the same as a spur.

Glad it helped!

You're welcome!

Hi. If you connect each node to the main router via ethernet cable the. You'd have 1gb backhaul from each node. Then as devices move around your site they would attach via WiFi to the node with the beat signal strength.

@@Builtbypete Could I hop the network cable from Asus router to node 1 then to node 2? The two nodes would be asus routers with 4x LAN at the back so link in and out... that would save on quality copper cable (which is v expensive here)

Generally, you want to use the WAN port of the satellite to hook it to the existing network, either to the router's LAN port or to a switch that connects to the router. You can also daisy-chain the nodes. In a mix of wired and wireless backhauling setups, it's best to have the wireless satellites connected directly to a router or a wired satellite.

Excellent 👍
