Hmmm..been considering these for a while. Have they updated the system to allow internet pausing of individual devices, not just the whole system, yet?

Any such system wouldn't be that hard to bypass, the only identifier you have for a wireless device is a MAC addresess and that's fairly trivial to spoof, some modern OS's have taken to transmitting a faked randomized MAC address as a safeguard against tracking/profiling and I can see it becoming more common as more people get concerned about privacy.

Yes. But it is handy when you want to ban kids devices individually!

Buy a ubiquity 3 pack, only one of these connects to a Lan cable it's like having 2 extenders. It's a system for the uninformed.

Ubiquity is double the price of this though, no?

I use a TP link WiFi repeater I bought from eBay for 15 quid. A lot more versatile even though I technically have 2 networks now. It's got a PC and smart TV plugged in with no loss of speed or ping than as if they were plugged into the main router.

Wouldn't a powerline wifi solution perform better? (Unless you have ethernet to each unit of course)

is another option but you wont get one seamless network across your house.

Does each disc require an ethernet connection? Or just one?
halliwells99 to Istanbul_Kop

Only one needs hard wired (Ethernet) to your modem. The two others are spread across your property and simply need plugged in for power.
OrribleHarry to halliwells99

Yes but performance is much better if they are all wired.

Do they all have Ethernet ports? Sounds perfect for me if they all do.

They each have one Ethernet port. The main disc will use this to connect to the router. Can't recommend these enough.

What I meant was - can you link them together via the Ethernet ports? I have Ethernet in most rooms but terrible Wi-fi due to the very thick walls in my flat.

yes i'm pretty sure you can, this will give you a seamless network across your whole flat.

if theres no stock near you, you can always buy from ebay and pay £3.95 for delivery:
What's the maximum length of the ethernet cable can you use? I thinking of getting a 25m from my router to the garage.

100m/300ft-ish is usually the max. You could always buy a cheap switch if you need longer.
edit: got my measurements the right way round!

Thanks!

Err no, 100m is the max cable length according to the standard. Usually at work we run upto about 75m max without using a repeater or switch.

Ah yes, i got that the wrong way round, obv I meant 100m/300ft-ish - drunk addled brain lol

Try one of these. You will need a POE adapter also

Can't help but think this type of WiFi helpfulness may be the next asbestos waiting to happen...

Are these locked to BT or can you use any isp
CampGareth to Aeschylus
6 Oct 17#6
Looks like they'd work with any ISP. They also don't include a modem, they take an ethernet connection. For most people that means they'd need a separate modem to be able to use these, e.g. a VDSL modem for your standard FTTC connection.
OrribleHarry to CampGareth
6 Oct 17#15
Or put existing ISP router into modem mode, most support this.

Been using these since the £162 offer with Robert Dyas a few months ago. Replaced a terrible vm super hub but only needed to use 2 for full coverage. Great for a terraced house where interference with 2.4ghz is a big issue, now I can use 5ghz everywhere!

I have these they work brilliantly, I live in a townhouse and have perfect connection throughout. I highly recommend these ( and no I don’t work for bt! ).

I use this BT system hooked up to the awful virgin media superhub. Brilliant system for the price. 100mbs all over my large flat. No dead spots. Highly recommended.
