[quote=[Deleted User];71821705]not practical to leave the router on all the time as the fitter recommended.
As I'm not able to remove the filter plate, there's not much I can do to get round the problem. [/QUOTE]
the router doesn't need to be left on all the time
just put the old faceplate back on, or arrange for it to be done, it's as simple as wiring a plug, and far easier and cheaper than getting power sockets installedDon't you dare criticise what you cannot understand0 -
This is a solution which works for me:
Cable from broadband outlet at master socket to a home plug adaptor. Plug into mains socket.
In lounge, use another home plug at convenient mains socket. From that home plug run an ethernet cable to your router.0 -
that seems an over complicated solution to a non-existent problem, and doesn't help the op who want to eliminate unnecessary/unsightly/trailing wiringDon't you dare criticise what you cannot understand0

The op wanted to avoid a cable running across the hallway - sorted. As far as she is concerned this problem does exist.0

how does splashing out on some useless homeplugs sort anything
the power socket is not next to the bt socket, hence a trailing leadDon't you dare criticise what you cannot understand0
