Ethernet Deals & Offers

My original toner faded early as well while still showing 25% capacity remaining. I didn't bother refilling because I had a lot of paper pickup issues with the printer so got another printer instead. Refill instructions . Looks too simple.

Can you tell me how, even the "compatible" toner i got never worked properly, the prints were faded.

Only way I can get decent quality prints from Xerox printers is to save the file as a PDF and then print then PDF rather than trying to print via Photoshop/Illustrator. The colours are nice but I would never buy a Xerox printer again.

You can refill the dell 3330dn toner

Hi am looking at this printer if knot thiis what other printer would you buy ?

Sorry for the delay, I’ve been away. The link speed is 100Mbps. I’m not a techy so no idea how I can change this.

Yes

Power line plug I mean..

Would this work with a power line on the receiving end?

10/100? COLD

Sorry....blocking the dhcp server from giving addresses out.

It's not a router, so why would it have been providing IP addresses? Or do you mean it was blocking DHCP?

Yes

Are all ports 1Gbps?

I use it for deploying computer images . The gigabit link means it does it a good percentage faster and we had a 10/100 previously but this is better. Had a little niggle where it wasn't providing IP addresses to finish the deployment off...but it's on 24/7/365 so turned it off for a few hours and it was all fine again.

Damn good price

expired :(

Ah bu99er, missed it.

Still on deal

expired... the price is back up

Xiaomi good quality home router for general browsing

I went with the XIAOMI R3P pro version in the end. It's a really nice well built bit of kit, well impressed. Turned up Saturday and I'm going to be pulling it a part for some guys on OpenWRT so then can get some information from it and hopefully compile some OpenWRT firmware. Was £60 delivered from AliExpress and took a week to arrive.

I have the xiaomi 3g model router in access point mode connected to my turd of a vodafone hub. The wifi on the hub is turned off, along with dlna, printer sharing, it's basically just being used as a modem. Using the xiaomi, wifi speed and range is a step up, and more importantly, it's stable. The setup for the router is in english using the android app. If you want to use the chinese web interface for access to more advanced features, translation in chrome works well.

Hello bud, I got my router and managed to set it up just fine, there's a code to scan on the back back of that takes you to an app. If you download it from that code, everything is stuck in Chinese with no option to change, but if you search the app name in the play store, it's defaulted to English. Super easy set up, so if your still looking...

I have a few of these cheap china routers kicking around the house as wireless extenders. Been about a year now and they are still working

The reason I came to the comments first (y)

Theoretical maximums, but Virgin cable is already at 350Mb and with the rate speeds are advancing it's going to be pretty close to that theoretical max sooner rather than later.

Which most aren’t. But nice to future proof...

Nothing wrong with Cat5e. You still get 1000 Mbit (1Gb). Cat 6a will give you 10Gb [if your network card, switch and/or router are ready for 10Gb].

Price has gone up

I understand the Gigabit snobbery but a lot of devices are getting less data hungry with high compression rates. CCTV cams are a great example. Great for dirty little offices that don't care about trunking ports so they can cheap out on structured cabling.

Other day was walking home from the station on phone to a friend. Got to a cross road and noticed on the grass poorly hidden under an old door was around 10+ boxes off this d-link. All sealed, just wet boxes. I ended up picking up 2 boxes, just for the sake off it. Got home opened one. Brand new. I didn't bother going back for the rest. Was a bit of a walk. Funny how these then came to be a deal on here. (y)

I agree with the Gigabit sentiment for future-proofing. However...the vast majority of home internet users will not have a single device that could utilise close to 100Mb/s. This is a good device for networking up, say, a Hue hub, Hive hub, CCTV box, NAS, Samsung TV, A/V Amp.

Not so fast ethernet. Spend a bit more on a gigabit one.

Yes, please do yourself a favour and look for gigabit instead!

Can't vouch for that model.. But yes to the gigabit addition:) I have a GS108 TP-Link and an SG105 Netgear both metal as that's what i was advised at the time..both have been fit and forget..

Bought the 8 port for £5.99 with free delivery!

Bargain for what it is. Heat added. Most residential broadband connections are <100mb/s. Unless you're FTTP, G.fast or Virgin Media or HyperOptic or something, you're probably less than 80mb/s. So for consoles, set-top boxes etc you won't notice the difference between this and gigabit. If you are on a 300mb/s Virgin Media connection etc, then absolutely pay extra for gigabit if it's to hook up your computer or games console. If you're a bit geeky, pay even more again and make sure you have at least one managed "smart" gigabit switch in your house or in your kit. If you ever have to troubleshoot something weird with your network, it can be worth its weight in gold.

This one? https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B008PC1FYK/ref=psdcmw_430573031_t3_B0002AEWMA

go Gigabit... , on offer theyre not that much more...

I got 5 from Amazon for a total of £1.09. (y)

Cheaper on Ebay £0.93 if you buy 5+

Cheaper on eBay, £1.07 if you buy a few.

I use all 3 cables. I found cat7 to be better in data transfer. My house can only get 220. Close to 28-30 MB per second. Different experience for me

Nonsense. Max Virgin speed is 350 Mbit (Megabit). This cable provide max speed 1000 Mbit (Megabit).

For anyone that ordered.... were these UK plugs when they arrived? I ordered the same deal from amazon and they came with EU plugs

Ta op, ordered with C&C

Free click & collect so £19.99, which beats the previous time it was on offer on here at £22.94.

;( PRC Direct also back at 1499

Back up to 1499 :(

Good morning Folks! Not going to lie, I was a bit confused by the warranty too; when I purchased I only selected the 1 year. Just got off the call to them - the guy explained that the first year will be under LG themselves, and then the next 4 years which RGB Direct will help you file in, will be under D&G; RGB Direct will send you another warranty form within 4 weeks.

Would be mix of gaming/sports/netflix. I can be the most careful owner in the world but can’t guarantee kids will be!

Are you going to be spending your days looking at a static logo or image on your screen? If not, don’t worry about screen burn I have a 2015 LG 65 EF950v - and almost fours years on have no screen burn

You’re a bit late to the party Rich! ...4 months late to be precise! 😜 Linus has quite an office setup so for both his and his production staff needs I can imagine they can indeed make good use of 10 gigabit connectivity.

Look at what they've been doing at Linus Media & why they discovered its the only way for a lot if what they're doing, I don't believe it's that narrow an excuse either once you release how much 1Gbps is actually killing file accesses etc

Fair enough. You make valid points there. I've no personal experience with any of that to be fair.

It's good...but it's not right ;) I only have a finite amount of gaming time as it is. If I have that much time to wait for stuff to load I may as well buy myself a Commodore 64 + tape loader - it might actually load games quicker :p

Why bother with a switch? In my case I've got a workstation and a server I use as a NAS. I could hook the two together with one add-in card each. The NAS/server has gigabit ethernet and my ancillary services ARM boards do too. I can use the NAS as a gateway between IB and ethernet networks, then the only switch I need is a regular gigabit ethernet one. As for cables it does look like you get a worse deal with IB. I just think that when you're paying a hundred or more for a basic point to point 10gig link you might as well spend not much more for 40gig :D
