Ethernet Deals & Offers

You can use this as an alternative to WiFi if you have an ethernet cable ran.

Is this to use in mobile for wire internet

There are always great add on deals the day after I’ve just spent over £20 on Amazon

Someone please suggest me something to buy along with this dongle

Kind of a different company pal.

Length specs are the same for each

But these are CAT6.

They’d be too long for me - I like 0.25m in my patch panel. Might be worth pointing out that the spec for CAT5e requires minimum 1m cable lengths between active devices though, so these should only be used for patching rather than directly connecting devices. Whether it’ll actually result in any problems is another matter though...

I've bought some of thier cables before... Very nice quality

£6.89 now

(embarrassed)

I'm gonna put it out there; The only people I know that use networked storage devices at home are IT geeks.

I did, I always do. It's why I'm so good at my job. Cheerio! (highfive)

In other words, you finally realised you were literally arguing nothing this whole time, but rather than admit your mistake you're still trying to save face. You may well be right that NAS devices are more common than I'm making out, but you made this a technical argument about absolutely nothing. Read what people write before replying next time.

Wow. I'm bored now. You obviously just don't have that much exposure to or experience with tech. Saying NAS devices aren't that common is just laughable. I'll say no more on the subject.

Your mileage will definitely vary. This is just now. 40mbps download, 10mbps upload, using these ones purchased back in August 2016 (my setup - router downstairs, to mains, to upstairs, another router, then PC/server/etc). I play without problems and max download speeds without ping issues or throttles (as you can see there, 6ms ping to the test server, around 1/2ms ping to the sky box (in comparison, under 1ms ping to the server connected also upstairs). Definitely worth a go, if your power lines support it. Otherwise you may have problems (as I had on a previous address). Also, they are not interchangeable with other power line systems as these are, technically, encrypted. You'll simply add even more noise to the system although I didn't spend much time on this. This link here may be worth a read.

My recent experience. I purchased another pack of two and couldn't get them to synch with the existing ones.Spent an hour on the phone with Netgear support. No joy. Eventually told the new ones were faulty but honestly they worked perfectly on their own.

Same here. But just to correct some of the information in here, the advertised speed is in half-duplex (one way), for full duplex (what you need) you will get half the advertised speed, as a maximum. With respect to pings and general performance, tueyre as good as your wiring (its not all equal) and a new house is just as likely to have poor quality cabling as an older house - copper costs money. If they're on the same stretch as a noisy demanding appliance it's likely to interfere with your performance. Best way to troubleshoot is literally unplug every appliance and device plugged in and see if your wiring is the real cause, more likely a microwave, white goods or cheapo Chinese POS creating noise.

I would recommend trying the homeplug first, in my experience I have not received such high ping times and work just fine for gaming, better than if you were using wifi only or wifi with repeater.

Powerline is some kind of standard so they can be mixed and matched between different manufacturers. Not completely sure but I guess they would run at the speed of the slowest device. Tbh that's guesswork.

how do you get free delivery ?

Thanks for the heads up (highfive) I'll expire.

Expired, free delivery offer is no more.

Its charging me delivery. Do you need to use a code?

Just bought the red and blue cables (next day delivery). I always make sure I have 3 or 4 'backups' especially when you see a good deal. Hot :)

So agree with you. It will probably just sit in the box for a while but worth its weight in gold when needed

Thanks for sharing! One of those tools that are indispensable at the time and I've been meaning to buy - at this price I don't mind paying for it to sit in the tool box until I need it next. :)

Like I said, myself and many others received an automated email regarding the cancellation. Yours could very well have just been lost - it does happen when mass mailing, from time to time. Chill out, mate, what did you expect from a blatant misprice?

I have checked my spam box and any company that does not offer the courtesy of sending a simple email to a would be customer does not deserve to be trading.

Check your spam box. Many of us here have received the cancellation email - I wouldn't call them a dodgy company when this was all a result of a domino effect on automated competitive pricing.

I have not heard a word from Comms Express until receiving an email from PayPal for the refund. Still no email from the seller with any explanation and so I guess that they are, after all, a 'Dodgy Company'. Avoid......

No surprise and still never seen a BT/Dabs deal where they say 'Ordered upon request' fulfilled but people still post them.

Thanks. Will add to list. Fair enough.

No I mean a router....

No I'm saying the Ubiquiti will work, probably the Google will as well, but Ubiquiti have a head start as it's their main business/expertise.

Very good deal and definitely recommending this. I've bought a single wifi point and the improvement compared to the standard Virgin router has been amazing. Better coverage and speed, and most importantly - no network drop outs since I set it up, which was driving me crazy with standard Virgin router. It's so much better! I also like the fact that Google Wifi uses the same network name for both 2.4/5Ghz bands, it makes everything easy. It's worth mentioning that this hardware came out in Dec 2016 so there's other products available on the market now which have better specs (for example Google Wifi is rated AC1200 but you can get Netgear Orbi rated AC3000). Also if you're a power user, you may be disappointed with lack of features such as QoS and no web interface. All settings are managed via a very easy to use smartphone app, which allows you to set up things such as guest network, family filter, etc. Some downsides for sure, but this is a great product and perfect for home use.

No I have a nonaggression treaty with the stone cutters. There are enough opportunists for us all, to make stupid amounts of money, without treading on each other toes.

Do you sell those pebbles that go on the cables to make it sound better?

Another HDMI lynching.

Not a bad flat hdmi cable, I think it's not rated for 4K@60Hz though so only 30Hz which makes a bit more expensive. Might be worth looking at this as it's a bit cheaper though https://www.amazon.co.uk/Laptone-Premium-Quality-supports-ethernet-Black/dp/B018QIX1EO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1517163594&sr=8-2&keywords=7m+flat+hdmi+2.0&th=1 HDR might be hit or miss though.

I probably won't get this, as I'd rather get a similar one but with HDMI out instead of Ethernet, but that's a brilliant price. Voted hot.

Simply get a usb-c to micro usb adapter

is there a microUSB like this, so I can use with my firestick v2

Cannot go wrong at this price. For those looking for something more fancy, you can get ones with the power plug passthough for those who also need thier USBC for charging as well. It will do both. I got mine sometime back for around 10 pounds.

This is excellent value for my Chromebook. Thanks op

What's the ethernet for? Oh, ignore me - it's in the Amazon comments. USB ethernet dongle.

Got one of these with 3 charging ports it charges my S7 Edge pretty fast got it mainly for the extra USB 3.0 ports but handy to have the charge ports

Yeah I’ve got 3 Externals plugged into my Xbox One X 3 4TB’s, 447 Games installed

As in 1 external. Very interesting that you can have more

as in 1 External HD into the port thing? Or on the Xbox itself? As I’ve 3

(annoyed)

it is a quarter of inch difference hardly a different product all together and the extras are cheap even if required

totally different all together!! the one you bought is 30mm from wall.... the one above is 23mm from wall and comes with extras

This is actually brilliant, finally a proper one box solution, why hasn't anyone done this before!? i have a small sat install business so it's a superb idea to have the convenience of combining an HDMI, ethernet Lead, aerial lead, drill bit and tons of spacers and fixings in one box.The bracket is very flush but the open design makes access to connections easy,, quality is obvious in all components, and for the price!? So yea ,what more can i say, perfect! (y)

Expired

Would I need 3 of these for a 12 x IP Camera setup? Or would I be better off using splitters to power indoor cameras and use the PoE ports only for external cameras or those that do not have a nearby power supply?

Nice. Thansk OP - been on the look for a compact poe switch and I like netgear....

30-odd quid

I use a few of these for powering devices from a PoE switch - it converts the PoE into 12/9/5V- I use them for powering an older non-PoE WiFi AP, although I did get them from Warehouse Deals with the 20% off so it wasn't quite as much. https://www.amazon.co.uk/TP-LINK-TL-PoE10R-TL-POE10R-PoE-Splitter/dp/B001PS4NWW

Slightly off topic but can anyone recommend me a good value gigabit ethernet router for my ADSL internet connection? I've got a 100 BaseT which is fine for everything except streaming large video files from NAS. 4 ethernet ports essential.

Poor value. If you want vlan functionality then the TP Link SG108G is only £1 more. If you don't the the TP Link SG1008D-V6 is only £16.99 on Amazon.

Ah wow! That is a crappy design (poo) Yeah, VLAN would be your only option then! (y)

I've got a HDMI sender/receiver over network. The dumb POS tries to send data to every port in the network as you can have multiple receivers. Totally crippled my network, only resolution was a VLAN.

Out of interest, what do you mean by ‘ping every port’? Even a dumb switch like the one in this deal would have a forwarding table and therefore know which device is connected to which port as long as it’s sending traffic every 5 minutes...Unless I’ve misunderstood what you’ve said (embarrassed)

Yes, if they use the same protocol and encryption. I mix TP-Link, D-Link and Netgear without a problem.

It's been cheaper in the past

£39.99 If maplin have stock

Yes. I moved from AV600 to AV1200 and download speeds went from about 50 to a 100 which is what the broadband is rated at. It will also depend on the quality of your house wiring.

I've gone for the tp link, still a decent company and good reviews, and a tenner cheaper.
