  1. We have had a few problems with the last Webway Go gprs only unit we fitted last week, it locked out with network failure and wouldn't recover, had to go back to site (one hours drive away) and reset the unit on Christmas eve. It failed again yesterday but at least this time it has recovered. Webway are going to investigate, anyone else had a problem?

     

     

    What signal strength were they showing when commissioned. We have had a few do this and not recovered so engineer sent to site and install high gain aerials. 

     

    Problem units showing signal strength of 4 3g which isn't great

  2. We don't have part P over here. Any domestic install I have ever done we have installed own fused spur. Don't do much domestic now and most jobs are new were spurs are in place.

  3. Just back from a meeting this afternoon were this was brought up. Basically site has an intruder alarm installed by national company we have won tender to install a smoke cloak in all sites it was suggested we add spur unit beside each IAP panel spur and spur off into  existing can my guys do this without issuing a cert for adding to circuit? 

  4. Have not done a full install in nearly two years but like going out now and again and showing the guys how its done. Also love going to site to investigate faults that different engineers have looked at and could not find problem and finding it within minutes making them look like muppets and me like a genius :proud:

  5. Since I started working for the Company I'm with now over the past 18 months I've learned so much with the ARC and doing more and more remotely monitored and IP CCTV systems. It also helps having our own in house I.T department to learn from and ask silly questions all the time. Everydays a school day for me but some people just do not want to move on.

  6. Fair play

    Also going back to the op I think £25 is a fair price for port forwarding.

    It's all very well saying it takes minutes, but that's bollox tbh. Trouble with domestic his there's far too many makes & models out there. Take the other day, I had two by home hub 3's. First one done was done in minutes, no problems.

    Second one would not open for love nor money, must have spent an hour ******* about with it. Turns out its a type A that needs to have the item in the dchp table even if it' has a static address. The whole thing was just a pita compared to the type b that forwarded first time.

     

    I've had this with Home Hubs pain in the ass.

     

    The main thing I come across when setting up routers is getting the password if changed from default. Home hubs allow you to overide password but most others don't.
