Well his must be shite then. I can use my phone upstairs to control my TV downstairs over wifi with no issues.

I just don't like wireless.
It's slow, it's flakey and it stops routing for no reason whatsoever. I don't want to have to dig around in my cupboard to reboot the router every time the wireless craps out.

HD content is frequently too much for it, too. Bearing in mind I want different stuff going to different rooms, bandwidth is king.

If you're running cables about the place you should also run network though.
Then it's only your handset that needs to see the router via wifi, and remote control doesn't use much bandwidth.

That's the whole point, ethernet faceplates everywhere
so you can use some for AV and some for internet.

It basically makes your whole house hot-swappable, because you just re-patch the switch to send internet to an ex-AV port or vice versa.

I had to fuck around with patch cables the other day at work.
Some numpty only patched 4 cables into our server rack.

Krones is in London though
So while the distance from the bedroom to his living room will be considerably smaller in his shoebox than in your spacious Kernow pad, there will be 200 other shoeboxes contained within the same building, all equipped with interfery stuff.

My flat's actually quite large actually.

London large or actual large?

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 14 Jul 2014, 15:52, Reply)

London large, to be fair.
And only large for a one bedroom flat. It's the top floor of a converted Edwardian house, with a big old extension on the back.
