And it still won’t connect to the mesh network. I assume this is the standard phone in Cornwall?

Your phone ain’t gonna work !

Ignore the cheap skates on here with shite like “ a taps a tap “ , “ what’s wrong with ikea “ - android users typically .

Forgot to ask . You’re not a Android user are you ? 🙄

iPhone X . So relatively new . SWMBO has an older model ( can’t check it ) which works also . I was more under the impression the node does the work rather than the phone . Just like outside and you roam between radio masts .

Then look ! This is the fun stuff !!

Not sure of your choices for fittings . But I mainly went with roper Rhodes . If I hit you with one of their taps it would kill you . I like that . Not killing you ; but the fact it’s not plastic shitty shat crap .

The flush plates can be bitch expensive. from memory I choose the plastic ‘chrome ‘ for 45 quid . The real geberit chrome was like 160 quid or something dumb . I Um’d and ah’d over that because anything tactile I want to be absolute solid I.e metal . It’s probably the only thing I let go ( though now I’m annoyed and might change it ! ) . So taps / door handles / shower fittings - metal , solid I.e unfortunately expensive .

Bought mine here Can’t say best price ; but delivery was quick https://www.qssupplies.co.uk/Brand/Geberit/67.htm

The thing to take from this ( specifically for myself and no dis respect to @Thorfun and @Onoff efforts ) - is that any idiot can build an entire underground house with initially ( and indeed even now ) very little skill /knowledge . I think that’s pretty cool ; but you need this forum for it …

Go on . Join our club .

Rip those tiles off the wall and do it again !!

He has his own brand of wipes ??

Actually 3 of each . On my manifold I purposely keep one there which I never remove - for emergencies you understand!!

I bought them all Usually 1. is the best . But sometimes the git just won’t come out so I use 3. the metal ones . They aren’t expensive so buy at least 2 of each size you’ll need ( 2 because you’ll lose 1 )

I think you worry too much how concealed pipework / wiring looks . I’ve said before a plumber etc. may have professional pride on it looking neat . I don’t 😁 . Also as I’m making it up as I go along lots of things change - there’s no plan . What does matter is of course the finish ; the tiling , decorating , etc. etc. - all the nice bits SWMBO likes .

Fair enough . If you get black tiger on your nails you are stuffed . Must be time for Hep2o now ?

Push fit is Barbie doll plumbing . Real men risk it with solvent weld . The smell , the mess , the swearing …

Colours don’t match so still not right

And what’s wrong with this photo ?

That’s poo ! Zen does seem to swap quite easily . I walk around doing Speedtest wirelessly . So right next to an AP great speed . As I walk further away it naturally starts dropping off . As approach a ‘better’ AP it swaps to it and speed picks up . Can see my MAC address swap between nodes . I would imagine ( hope) orbi *should* be doing the same !!

I think it depends Zen has 2 5Ghz channels - you can nominate one as a back channel for its comms . So nodes wirelessly can be further apart . Even without wired access the range is pretty good considering concrete / steel are in the way .

Looked into this before . Tried the default “ go to “ of ubiquiti . For the love of god couldn’t get those nodes to stay adopted . Sent that back Next tried netgear orbi ( around 300 quid ) not the 2k version . Good reviews . Useless in my experience. App would say it’s working whilst node would indicate it wasn’t . Then they’d swap ; app says no , node says yes . Sent that back ASUS Zen ….. perfection ! . Ethernet backhaul - stable mesh . Joy ! Whilst it’s within my technical field to tinker with this I really did want an out the box working option . Ethernet backhaul was a bit strange as it wouldn’t work if going through my unmanaged switch . Direct to ‘main’ zen - all good . Nice app aswell ; lots of features . Plan on throttling swmbo’s connection down just for my amusement.

Yeah ! Quoting union (expletive deleted)ing rules ! . Intimidation and insults are your new friends .

Sack him !!!
