Bt Infinity and cable install

hi guys
im having bt infinity installed on monday
i wont be there, the mrs will.
the master socket is by the front door, ill need the hub to be in the living room. as i have existing network cables located there that are in my present hub
with the limited amount i can find out thus far, the hub can be in the living room, the engineeer will need to cable the master socket to the position, so the hub can be situated there. ?
its not a massive run for a cable (about 10 metres), but it is a pain to do. its thru a hallway, past a doorway and round 5m of skirtingboard.
my concern is that the engineer wont do the sort of job i can or will try and fob my mrs off with bunging it by the front door, which i dont want.
i will do a neater , better job than he will.
as such i want to cable it myself , ready for the engineers visit.
so he can basically do what he has to do and use the cable i lay, thats in place.
whatt im trying to find out is what cable that is ? im aware its not ordinary phone cable.
can anyone advise me and do i need a plug on each end, if for example its a network cable >?
or can he fit a plug to any cable i lay ?
many thanks in advance for any help on this, i need to crack on with it this weekend , so its ready for monday.
regards
John

I believe the cable between the phone point and the modem ‘belongs’ to Openreach in as such as they will deal with any fault on that part of the cable.
The Cat 5 cable between the modem and the hub is ours so we can run it how/where we like.
My modem is about 3 metres away from the phone point but the installer HAD to run it along the top of the skirting board as he couldn’t leave it trailing (for any future flooring changes) for guarantee purposes. The cable to the modem in much thinner than normal Cat 5 so it does look neat when done.
You do know that the kit is a modem AND a hub an not a modem/router?
If the modem can stay near the phone point then you can run what you like.

  • Bluetooth module and cable install when not factory installed

    Can I install a bluetooth module internally to a paviliion dv7 6c27cl
    I was told the part #'s are 665595-001 for the cable and 537921-001 for the module
    Where are instructions on how to install if possible?
    Thank you

    Hello lennyl0518. Would you mind posting the product number of your notebook? These instructions can show you how to locate it for me. I can use this information to discern which bluetooth modules are supported by your notebook.
    The instructions for installing such a part would be located in the notebook's Maintenance and Service Guide. Here is a link to that document.
    Have a great day!

    Hi,
    Please help!
    I was installing Recent Ipod touch Update 1.1.2 I think. It all downloaded and started installing, and then for some unknown reason just stoped and said it couldnt continue. So i thought i would unplug and try again. However, it now wont let me do anything. The ipod touch screen now has a picture of a cd and the ipod cable which i cannot get rid of and when i plug it in, my computer doesnt even recognise it is pluged in. Help!
    Any help on how i get out of this mess would be fantastic.
    Thank you

    Unless your running Itunes 7.6 (the latest) then Uninstall your current Itunes through add/remove in Xp or whatever way they do it on a Mac and then when you have a fresh copy of Itunes 7.6 installed do the following.
    1. Turn iPod Touch OFF completely.
    2. Plug iPod Touch into PC/MAC while still of.
    3. Turn iPod touch on, then IMMEDIATELY do the following steps
    4. Hold the 'Home button' and 'sleep/wake' button together for atleast 5 seconds.
    5. The Apple logo will appear
    6. When this happens release the 'sleep/wake' button BUT KEEP HOLD OF 'HOME' BUTTON
    7. Your iPod will reboot (Apple logo)
    6. iTunes will recognise iPod in 'Recovery mode'
    8. You will be able to 'restore' your iPod Touch now.

  • Infinity and online gaming

    Hello
    I am relativly new to infinity and was wondering if anyone could tell me why its so bad for online gaming?
    My download speeds are virtually always 37.5mb download and between 8 - 9mb upload although upload drops sometmimes to slightly lower

    however i always get loads of lag when playing on xbox live, to the point it is not worth playing, it gets worse than when I was on normal copper wire broadband.
    I have also noticed that there is quite a delay before web pages open when browsing the internet in general, my ping used to be pretty consistent at around 17 - 20ms before I switched to infininty but now seems to jump around lot even going as high as 300ms on occasion.
    my line profile seems to have set at 38.10mb which I am happy with, and the engineer who installed my infinity said that my line stats were excellent.
    all this said then why do i seem to be suffering when using xbox live??

    Hi Cameron
    No I have been trying it with the wireless disabled, although on our old connection this wasnt an issues, myself and my son could both use our xboxs together on the one connection and still it was better than at presen
    I didnt have the cable in the gigabyte port, I have now though, what does this port do?
    Yes port forwarding set to xbox live

  • Slow infinity speed since install.

    Out of interest could people post there distance from cab VS. speed.
    I had infinity option 2 installed about 3 weeks ago now. When the original open reach engineer installed the service he said that there was something not right with it, I was getting download speeds of 8 mb. He conducted internal house wiring and also tested the drop wire to the dp, same speed.
    Long story short another openreach engineer has come out today and informed me that 8mb is the correct speed and that i wouldn't achieve any more. He didnt test the speed at the pole so I have asked them to do this to see what comes back but I would be interested to know what other people are getting at around 900-1000m from the cab.
    i was orginally quoted 16.1mb i find it had to believe that half is correct...

    We're about 800m from the cabinet (I'd originally thought we were nearer to around 300-400m but google maps proved me wrong!)
    I've just upgraded to Infinity 2 today and our download speeds have increased from around 37.5 Mbps to 42.5 Mbps.
    I guess it all depends on the route the cable takes and the quality of the copper (our house is about 11 years old and so I'm guessing the BT lines are about the same age), but I would have thought you could achieve more than 8Mbps if we're getting over 40Mbps being only slightly closer to the cabinet than you.

  • BT Infinity and House LAN

    Hi,
    I am a noob to BT Infinity and wanted to see if the following is possible. Can you please let me know if this is feasible or just my aspiration gone too far?
    1. I have a Linksys WRT610N router that I want to use for my wireless within the house
    2. I have a Netgear switch in the loft
    3. The house is CAT6 cabled
    Can I
    1. Have the Openreach modem that comes with BT infinity installed in the loft(with the master socket) next to the switch
    2. connect the LAN1 of the OR modem into my switch
    3. Connect the Linksys router(in the WAN port??) to the LAN (on the ground floor) via the installed LAN socket (which goes to the switch in the loft)
    will this work? please advise.
    regards

    You have almost the exact same setup as me already exept I have CAT6a cabling. The way I have set it up is have the router downstairs where the master socket is, feed a CAT5,5e,6,6a cable into the loft to the switch (Infinity's maximum throughput is less that 40mbps and even CAT5 cables can handle 100mbps speeds). From the Switch I have my WAPS (Wireless Access Points) plugged in (1 HomeHub v1 plugged into a v2 which is linked to the switch).
    As well as having the switch in the loft, I have 2 servers which never overheat. See below for a diagram if you want to see how I did mine:
    To connect a router to a home network, all you would have to do is connect a switch to one of the ports located on the back of the router where you would usually plug computers in.
    I hope this helps

  • Boot and OS install issues with K8T Neo2 F

    Can anybody shed light on my difficulties?
    Assembled a new computer yesterday.  First power-on produced nothing except 3 (2,3,4) red leds on d-bracket.  After reading several postings, tried the following:
    Swapped around memory modules;
    Did repeated JBAT1 data clears (NB if you happen to get a board with the V1.0 user guide, note that the JBAT1 diagram appears upside down - pin one is closest to the SATA slots (page 2 - 24).  The MSI downloadable user guide (V1.2) has that error corrected (page 2-25)
    The only memory config that doesn’t produce three red leds is with one 512 stick installed in channel 3 (green).
    Can now get to the point where Windows XP boots to the point where install is about to start, and then advises me that it can’t find a hard disk!
    Have dis/reconnected the sata cable (using different cables) and checked the bios setup but can find nothing strange except that setup refers to the hard disk as BBS 0 (RAID) ST3120827AS - the reference to “RAID” worries me.

    Paul, there have been people here that have had to strip their  system down to the bare minimum hardware to get windows to complete the install, so try that. I had trouble completing my windows install as long as I was trying to install the RAID drivers at F6. So I ignored the prompt at F6 and windows installed fine. Then I installed my RAID drivers afterward.
    These things are extremely sensitive when it comes to memory. I had the same problem you are having. Mine was cured by a BIOS upgrade to ver. 3.3. The simplest way to do it is to use "Live Watch". It will locate BIOS ver 3.3 for you, and download it to a floppy along with the flash program, and make it bootable all in one easy step. Then all you have to do is boot from the floppy you just made, and follow the instructions. Very simple.
    I've read all these stickies and posts now going way back, and IMHO anyone who wants to use RAM thats not on the list should do so at their own risk. Interestingly enough, the recommended list from MSI is not the same as the list from AMD. And the memory manufacturers have their own lists of RAM that they say will work with this board. I'm using 2x 512 sticks of GEIL from the MSI recommended list.
    Check out these links to see what I mean. By the way, if you haven't noticed, most of the older posts about memory problems are with respect to the K8T Neo FIS2R which is a socket 754 single channel board, so although they are similar, they're not the same. My point is just because his K8TNeo FIS2R works fine with brand "X" RAM doesn't mean your K8T NEO2 FIR will.

  • Can I remove a CD Rom from one Mac pro and re-install it in another mac pro

    One mac pro, my computer has a CD ROM that doesn't open and my brother's old Mac Pro has a CD ROM that still opens and closes how easy would it be for me to remove the CD ROM from my brother's old Mac Pro and re-install it in my Mac Pro

    2008 and previous used ATA/IDE DVD Readers.
    2009 and later used SATA DVD Readers.
    You cannot cross the line without changing the cabling, which may be more expensive that just replacing the drive with a new one.
    You both should be sure to update to 10.6.8 if you have not already done so, to provide enhanced malware protection. If you cannot do that, turn off JAVA (not javascript) in all your Browsers.

  • Firewire does not function after uninstalling macfuse and an out of date version of NTFS32 and then installed latest version of Tuxera NTFS for Mac.

    I purchased a 3TB HDD (WD USB 3.0 $100) to replace the 2TB Seagate for a new Time Machine HDD. The 2B was full and backups were deleting older files. The 3TB was formatted NTFS and I want to "recover" the included SW before I reformatted the HDD for the iMac. I discovered that MacFuse was out of date and unsupported and my NTFS-32 was also out of date so I uninstalled both and then installed the most recent version of Tuxera NTFS for Mac. I rebooted and discovered that the FW800 port was unresponsive. Below is the EtreCheck report:

    Do you have another cable you can test with? Do you have access to another computer with Firewire you can test with?

  • FIOS And TIVO Series # and Cable Cards

    I recently lost one tuner on my series 3 TIVO HD.  Asked for re-activation and eventually a new cable card to restore the lost tuner.  After the second visit I had nothing on either tuner.  Techs claim they have never been trained on cable cards, inventory is not controlled so they know good ones from bad ones, there is no way to test a cable card in their shops.  After and extended discussion and a visit by two senior techs and a supervisor I got back a few channels on one tuner.  I get only locals up to channel 50, USA.  I get the locals in both SD and HD so I know the tuner is working. 
    I went to the Tivo Community Bulletin Board to see if anyone else had this problem.  I found that on December 4, 2009 in Western New York TIVO owners with cable cards lost all channels above 50.  This was resolved in about one week and was clearly a back office problem with FIOS software used to authorize the cards.  I thought I could go to the national FIOS support center and get my problem fixed in the same way since this appears to be an identical problem.  NO SURPRISE. 
    Verizon national FIOS technical support refused to investigate the problem or solution with Western New York.  The one and only thing the tesch would do was to order another truck roll without any attempt to contact their center in New York.  At one point he said he did not have the telephone number and could not look it up (Verizon is one of  the largest phone companies in the country and they have no way to find an internal number in the same FIOS support organization??   
    I have a lot of respect for the techs who try to solve problems (not this one) and I expect this will be resolved once I speak to a supervisor, but why doesn't Verizon provide adequate support and training to their techs on TIVO and cable cards.  I suppose they just want to continue to push their own HD STB by making it so hard to use anything else that you eventually just give up. 
    In my humble opinion Verizon, along with the other cable providers so abuse the process of installing third party equipment that they should be prohibited form selling or renting equipment.  They should provide only the service and equipment, as was the case with ATT, should be divorced from service.  That process revolutionized phone service and it could do the same for television service. 

    well without a lot of reports from other customers in your area, they are going by the assumption that it is not an outage, and that there is no sizeable amount of customers experiencing the same issue, so they are treating it as an individual case basis.   You're right the Tech's don't have a lot of training on tivo's because they aren't supported items.  They rely on tivo technical support to support their own product.   The cable cards are a simple thing to verizon.  make sure they are activated - possibly send you a new one if their is suspicion that the cable card is bad, and 'possibly' a field tech.  field tech's aren't a whole lot of good as you have come to experience, because they are not tivo technicians. they are fios technicians and they support their own product.   
    I would reach out to the tivo bulletin boards and post your issue there, and see if there is a consensus as to what the problem is, maybe one of them have had a similiar issue.  Please remember that absent any other reports in your area, that verizon can't consider it a back end thing, if it were it would naturally affect multiple tivo customers in an identical fashion.  
    Is it possible it's the tivo box itself?  tivo's go bad just like any other piece of hardware.   
    Also keep an eye on this forum post of yours, there are others here with tivo's that have a good deal of experience, and may have ran into the problem themselves,   they may be coming along and reading the posts soon I would hope.  
    another great resource is the dslreports.com forum for issues like this.
    give them a shot too.  http://www.dslreports.com/forum/vzfiostv
    sorry about all your trouble, but for the record, if your cards only get channels upto 50 it sounds like a reactivation of those cable cards would correct it.    I can imagine that if you have talked to a supervisor and a few technicians that they would have tried that, but if you are unsure that they did, I would call back in to tech support again and ask them if they can deactivate and reactivate the cards.      normally when a verizon dvr gets 1-50, it is that same issue.   if they haven't replaced the cable cards, I would pursue that, if the reactivations don't help.

  • TS5179 I've been bitten by the "Missing MSVCR.dll file" problem when downloading the latest iTunes update (PC w/ Win-7 & Outlook-2007#. 'Have followed Apple's instructions of un-installing all Apple software, and re-installing it. #out of space...??)

    I've been bitten by the "Missing MSVCR.dll file" problem when downloading the latest iTunes update, 11.4.62 (on a PC w/ Win-7 & Outlook-2007#. 'Have followed Apple's instructions of un-installing all Apple software, and re-installing it (Ugh).  First result Outlook couldn't find my 1,385 item contact file in iCloud, although the outlook distribution lists were there.  Second result, upon installing iCloud again, I have two iCloud contact files shown in outlook - "iCloud" & iCloud, within iCloud".  1,332 & 1,385 contacts respectively. 
    Plus an iCloud installation error message saying iCloud moved 6,835 files to a "deleted items folder" somewhere.  This is NOT fun at 72-yrs old...!!
    So, how do I make sure I haven't lost anythying from Outlook?   Russ-AZ

    Interesting response, Kappy  -  Back to original post: "First result: Outlook couldn't find my 1,385 item contact file in iCloud, although the outlook distribution lists were there (therefore, initially I had lost my contact file from Outlook).  Second result, upon installing iCloud again, I now have two iCloud contact files shown in Outlook - "iCloud" & iCloud, within iCloud".  W/ 1,332 & 1,385 contacts respectively.  
    Plus an iCloud installation error message saying iCloud moved 6,835 files to a "deleted items folder" somewhere.  This is NOT fun at 72-yrs old...!!
    So, how do I make sure I haven't lost anythying from Outlook?   Russ-AZ"
    You can safely assume that I have tried using it!   So, to make things a little clearer:
         1)  I now have two iCloud "contacts files", w/ a different total count. What's the difference?  Why the different toatl count?
         2)  Since re-installing the Apple software (part of the MSVCR" recovery instructions) "couldn't possible affected Outlook", why am I getting an iCloud installation error message saying iCloud moved 6,835 files to a "deleted items folder" somewhere.  What's in those files? And where are they?
    Probably more important questions get down to:
         3)  Why is a basic Apple product upgrade "screwing-up Outlook"?  This iTunes upgrade, failing to install properly forced Outlook 2007 into a 2-min start-up cycle.  Which was fixed with this "Goat-Rpdeo" of re-installing MSVCR80.dll.
         4)  And under the latest release of iOS-7.0.4 on our iPhones, why is Apple now forcing us to use the iCloud to back-up our contacts, calendars & tasks, vs. allowing these files to be backed-up directly on our PC's via the USB cable?
    Thanks again for your interest and comments.  - Russ-AZ

  • I have a BTHome Hub3 with infinity and used to use my TC wirelessly, I can't seem to get it to stay connected revert to my original back up

    I have a BTHome Hub3 with infinity and used to use my TC wirelessly.  Since I changed I cannot get my TC to stay connected, nor can I access the previously stored backups or files I had stored on it.  I don't want to use an Earthnet cable. I can't get it to connect or stay connected to my MacMini either.

    HELP ME PLEASE!!

  • Any thoughts on Infinity and Windows 8?

    Hi,
    I have just installed Windows 8 64bit Pro OEM. I dont really like it at all, I first installed a software for a original Start menu key which was missing and I find very frustrating without, but I got that sorted eventually and now I am just finding my way around but very frustrated! I have tested speeds with Infinity and it does seem to be down on the download by about 300 - 400Kbps, upload speeds the same as 7, it seems also the loading times on google chrome, is what I use, seems to be hanging quit badly. I'm not likeing it at all and I'm thinking of going back to Windows 7. I just wanted to know how others got on?. Thanks.
