    Played the new record - lovely music but rather a lot of small scratches and pops.

    Had some ideas to try from friends on Facebook but I want to rearrange my room first to get at the Windows 7 desktop machine more easily.

    Just received the last of my orders for organ music "Bach Organ Music from Soissons Cathedral". That's in France.

    Still can't get TeamViewer to work I've tried all I can think of. Even switched the router off and on again. Also, the network switch. Have tried the computers connected to the router and also to the switch with only one LAN port used on the router for the switch. Have also tried rebooting computers. Whatever I try I can't get TeamViewer to work. Anyone got any ideas? Please?

    I now have two laptops and my all sky cam working on Wi-Fi.
  6. Gina
    Having a problem with my wired LAN and TeamViewer but that's not unusual.

    Maybe But probably not since Gigaclear have given me the Home 50 service instead of the Home 1G. I've set the Wi-Fi SSID and password to the ones I was using with the BT HomeHub and have successfully connected to my all sky camera.

    Lovely to be rid of that rotating icon thingy!!

    Had to pop out and get some milk and I'd just got back when it started raining. So that's that for outdoor jobs today as rain is forecast for the rest of the day Need a rest anyway!!
  10. Gina
    Much colder today, cloudy and dull I may leave the outdoor part of the job for now rather than risk making my cough/cold worse. It's safe enough.

    I have to admit to being disappointed that I haven't got the very best which I was looking forward to! A bit of a let-down. A great big build up to a nice big bang and what do I get?... Can't really call it a damp squib because it's very much better than BT and if I find 50Mb/s adequate I will save around £400 over the year's contract. I shall continue to finish the job and tidy up the cable then after a nice rest I shall probably see if I can find out why my EQ8 mount has stopped working. I may set the Gigaclear router to enable contact with my all sky camera this afternoon when it's raining

    I've found out why I'm only getting 50Mb/s - they've given me the Home 50 service rather than the 1G. That's what I originally ordered but upgraded it to the 1G as I said I was going to do, to encourage the other villagers to apply for Gigaclear to get the numbers up to the point where the village would be viable as a commercial proposition. Now that has been achieved I don't really need 1Gb/s and if I want a particularly heavy download I can use their 1G for 48hr option. If I find I want a faster service continually I can always upgrade.

    Logged on to the Gigaclear router and it's easy to change the Wi-Fi SSID and password so I'll try that tomorrow. It's easy to undo changes on the router too - just press and hold the reset button for more than 5s. OK so the SSID and PW will be that of the BT HomeHub but who cares
  14. Gina
    I shall need to change the WPA Wi-Fi password on my all sky camera Raspberry Pi unless I can change the password on the router. To alter the RPi wireless password would mean taking it down and partly dismantling it to connect by cable (I think). So I'll see if I can change the Gigaclear router - probably easy but I'm not messing with it tonight - I've had a busy day and I'm tired.

    Tried through my 1Gb/s network switch and got much the same result. In both cases the 1000Mb/s green light flashed on the port so I am getting a 1Gb/s connection to the computer. I had wondered.
  16. Gina
    Yes, it certainly is
  17. Gina
    I've been trying to find a speed test site that covers 1Gb/s - seem to have found some but only showing just over 50Mb/s both ways. I know that's a vast improvement on BT but I'm paying for a 1Gb/s speed!
  18. Gina
    Now to find a speedtest site that will cope with gigabit data rates
  19. Gina
    YIPPEE - I'M ON GIGACLEAR!!
  20. Gina
    Gigaclear service activated - I am now sending this post via Gigaclear 1Gb/s ultrafast broadband service
  21. Gina
    Right - HERE WE GO - I'm disconnecting this computer from BT and connecting to Gigaclear. Hopefully, back withe ultrafast fibre broadband
  22. Gina
    The system is now ready to log in and activate the service. The cable will not need to be disconnected from the router and it's just a matter of fastening the cable to the straining wire and securing to the woodwork each end, with a downwards loop to shed water, then pulling the slack up into the loft. Finally, the water pipe going down into the airing cupboard can be secured to the roof with a pipe clip and the cable secured to the roof rafters and generally tidied up.
  23. Gina
    Put router back cover on and slid router itself up into position. Connected power and switched on. Router is now ready

    Popped outside and wrapped optical cable temporarily round clothes line to get it off the ground and out of reach of the goat. I may detach the eye-bolt from the the gable end to wrap the spiral wrap round the straining wire and optical cable because as it is I can't reach the middle part and I'm not using the step ladder on the soft ground. I can work from the garage end - there is plenty of spare cable at the other end. I can do that tomorrow, weather permitting. Pushed pipe in airing cupboard back into its clips. Then in the living room, clipped connector into router back and added top part (yellow) to retain connector firmly then arranged cable around the router back.
  25. Gina
    Forgot to mention that I only have one step ladder so have had to carry it outdoors to the other end of the house and later back in again. Folding and unfolding each time. Still to do :- Push pipe in airing cupboard back into its clips. Attach water pipe top end to roof member with cable clip. Attach spiral wrap to straining wire and optical cable. Nail cable to roof members using clips supplied by Gigaclear. Clip connector into router back and arrange cable around clips. Add router unit to back plate and set up.
