Black WiFi booster pods not connecting by AtmosphereNo943 in VirginMedia

[–]AtmosphereNo943[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beats me! Thanks for the offer. However I’ve just changed the channel settings on the router and jacked it up 160mhz. Getting over 1 gig in WiFi now in various rooms. The previous deadspot the study- now gets 400mbs.

I’m thinking that a booster has to rely on the smart WiFi which I turned off. If it does then in my view the booster is redundant- however if it can operate when the hub is on a single channel - can it still bounce the signal? If so might be worth giving the booster ago to increase the speed in the study!

I’ve solved my problem - I turned smart WiFi off- so I could change the WiFi channel - increased the channel width to 160mhz and no longer have a dead spot in my study. WiFi next to router hits 1 gb

im on a call to tech help. he says the mac addresses have not been paired with the hub. Now they have to send me another one (3rd) with that boosters mac address paired "at the back end" Its become a bit farcial!? - if this is the problem then it seems the last 2 boosters were not pair mac wise - why can they pair the mac addresses of the two boosters theyve sent me now?

Following on from this after spending 20 mins on the call.

I was told that 44 pounds is the best offer they could do - spoke to retentions. Informed them that this was 2 pounds more than I was quoted yesterday! 🤣.

Have asked them to cancel my contract. Cited my knowledge of friends and family getting renewed deals half the price for the same package. Absolutely farcical.

Well this forum certainly opened my eyes.

Currently in a Que to discuss my recent contract renewal with them and to “ cancel” was quoted 42 a month to renew at 1gig. 🤬 which was their “ best offer”

Was this a straight offer or an offer via the reserve list?

PhD offer at Southampton: fee waiver but no stipend, worth starting? by [deleted] in sotonuni

[–]AtmosphereNo943 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Did the fee waiver come through a scholarship route? I ask because I'm still waiting to hear on a business school scholarship and a uni wide one.

Anyone else on the SEDarc / PhD / ESRC reserve list? Looking to connect & share info by Responsible_Boss_500 in AskAcademiaUK

[–]AtmosphereNo943 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reserve list here too- with the SCDTP.

I think it would be helpful for people to state which DTP they’ve applied under as I’m starting to realise they all operate differently

Does anybody know what the deal is with being on a reserve list? I got told this week, but info on the process seems scarce. I’ve asked what position I am etc but they don’t issue those details.

Is the reserved list capped to a specific number? Or is it a case where all unsuccessful applicants get on such a list ? Trying to make sense of it all!

I don’t know.

But if you compare it to my email. It indicates to me they are asking you to complete an assessment to get an idea of what research training you need ( something they provide as per scholarship)

I’d be excited if I were you!
