Re: Router not strong enough
Okay, TP-Links now installed & was able to connect no problem. Now a stupid question.
Because of the location of the double power socket & the awkward size of the plugs etc, the TP-Link is in one socket outlet connecting the Ethernet cable to the Humax FVP with the TV plug in the same duel socket, whilst the Humax power plug is in an adjacent socket outlet. Am I able to switch off the TP-Link at the mains, which obviously means I can switch the TV off at night, but have the Humax powered up for recording? Whilst then simply switching the TV back on at the mains when required, I'm presuming, hoping, both units will still be paired even after one has been powered down.
Said it was a stupid question, but would appreciate a response, asap. Thanks

Re: Router not strong enough
Provided you are not using it to record, there is no reason why you shouldn't switch off the TPLink. If for some reason it gives problems reconnecting, you could possibly move the TV plug to the one used by the Humax and put the TPLink and Humax into the same socket. The Link uses very little power so there is no real need to keep switching it off.

Re: Router not strong enough
I'll re-hash the socket arrangement tomorrow. But very happy with the set up now, hopefully no more freezing & skipping. @Itisme, the login problem occurred when I changed the p/word sent me for one of my own choice, as is normal. But that's when it kept failing, so I've kept the last one sent me & leave it at that. Haven't needed to login for this reply.
Thanks again to all contributors for your help & advice, especially skyeci for the original link.

Re: Router not strong enough
Hi all. The new system is up & running & very pleased with it, BUT!!! Where the programme info on the old PVR listed, say 5 channels at time, now there's 7or8, consequently the text is tiny & unreadable. Need to get some telescopic specs.
