    Just noticed that you have got a domain but are using the hotmail.com email on your site, I must go to specsavers........

    Website review

    I suggest getting a "proper" domain name rather than using hotmail.com and (as AndyB suggests) a virtual landline if you have a half decent broadband service, mine costs only £2.40 per month. Good Luck

    Metrel Firmware Upgrade

    I didn't have any luck trying to upgrade mine, it seemed to be a communication error, I suspect it was because I was using windows 10 (I tried on two computers - a laptop with a usb/serial adapter lead and a desktop with serial port), but before I got round to trying it on a XP computer it was...

    How many bt sockets allowed per room?

    The limit is not how many sockets, but how many handsets, there is a maximum "Ring Equivalent Number" (REN) of 4 on a BT line. Modern handsets can have a REN number of less than 1, the telephone handset normally has the REN number on the base. You could use multiple DECT (Wireless) handsets...

I decided early on that the only realistic way of rewiring the bedroom, bathroom and landing (where most of the upstairs cable runs went from the CU to...

    Ups

    Good link, very useful. If you do go for a UPS be aware of the differences with UPS's :- "Offline" - (sometimes called "backup") only switches over to battery when it senses no supply, the better one's switch over quicker than cheepies. "Line Interactive" - closely follows the input power and...

    Metrel Firmware Upgrade

    Thanks - I've downloaded the correct version for my tester (V1.28), but like you found the link to the manual/instructions doesn't work. I've checked the original manual and that doesn't mention the firmware upgrade procedure.

    Metrel Firmware Upgrade

    Thanks for that.....really useful information, do the instructions say which models it is applicable to? (Mine is the Metrel MI3100 Eurotest EASI) It's the same shape and layout as yours, just a different colour buttons, so I expect it's the same mainboard and firmware. But it would be nice to...

    Job interview !
