Hi... Callsign this end is G0PTR.. love the CW too, tend to use ex military radio kit... Divorce stopped play!... occasionally mobile on a PRC 320 hope to catch you on air one day...

Hi Everyone I am an electrical contractor, that has limited knowledge on computers.....have done Cat5E wiring courses, cabinets and points...unbeatable way to connect! Also have an Amateur Radio license although not on air at the moment.... used to build my own computers, in the 286 days so understand the construction area perhaps, never really got into programming... used to be able to create a network until windows 10...which seems to now have stopped me transferring files from laptop to PC..!

Hi, Im trying to get internet access to a cctv system. Problem number 1 is the location of the CCTV system, which is in a barn away from the main house...some 80mtrs away. I setup the CCTV which has a LAN connection, so just as an experiment I tried a Homeplug version1 unit connected to System, and another in the router at the house. I know this is a big ask, as.... The router is using an upstairs ring-main, so the "signal" would have to travel down to fuseboard, across to the circuit feeding a garage, then onto the circuit feeding the barn, then again onto the circuit feeding the CCTV... I can already hear people saying NO WAY... however on connection my Homeplug ver 1 connected straight away! knowing Version 1 of Homeplug was data only, and thinking I would need an AV version 2, I purchased a TP link 1200Mbs, starter kit....tried allsorts, would not connect...took them back Tried NETGEAR AV500..... success... Red LED bridge light(weak link), but connection...apps downloaded to smart phone worked a treat. However...…. at nightime it stopped working, and seem to reset and be back on during daylight hours....annoying but could live with that. It worked for a couple of days..not nights...then stopped altogether! unplugging the adapter by the router would re-establish connection for another couple of days. The Netgear units no longer connect, despite trying everything, for some reason they have stopped, but knowing that they connected surely means that a powerline adapter should work? anyone know what is the best way to connect? wifi unit?... dis
