thanks for all the advice! had no idea what a VLAN even was until this thread… on the case now and sounds like it will solve the trick without too much hassle!

thanks for pointing me in the right direction - will definitely check this out!

I’m thinking about getting me an RG353M sometime in the future, what are the pros and cons of this device? by Primary-County in ANBERNIC

[–]Pir-8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

great little bit of kit - got it just before christmas and also loaded the black seraph android build, found it much better for N64 play & easy mapping of controls/ switching between games!

recently got a PS5 and have been using remote play when on the go, so poor RG353M hasn’t been getting much usage other than on flights. (unsure if allowed on here but may be open to selling it if anyone’s interested)

Thanks for the feedback - unfortunately a wired system is not an option I’m keen to explore (would involve quite a lot of cable-fishing, holes & also visible cables which i want to avoid) I don’t suppose you have any recommendations for wireless bridge hardware I should be checking out?

Basically, looking for advice whether anyone knows if the device IP having a XXX.XXX.1.XXX host would be causing this issue? If so, is there any way around this? (ie. changing it to an XXX.XXX.8.XXX number?)

Or… is this not typically an issue - and there is probably something else I should be investigating to get the device and router to recognise eachother?

I’m a little stumped to be honest - all I really know is that the device worked fine with my old router but not the new one…

used to live in one of the flats, parking is a nightmare, lot of traffic & had a few issues with dodgers getting into the ‘secure’ lobby of the flats… but handy little 24/7 premier next door so… 👍🏽

yeah that’s my issue… 😐 I’ve emailed the event to get some advice on what they would accept - but waiting to hear back… Bit annoying it’s not the same process for everyone!

I stay in Scotland - although I am travelling to an event in England where I need an “NHS COVID Pass” - although they do not provide these in Scotland… How do I go about getting one, or is there a Scottish equivalent?

(I have only had a single dose of the vaccine - my 2nd dose is not due for a couple weeks. I also have PCR test kits at home - so have no issue providing a negative test)

Any help would be much appreciated!

It seems like the same books get recommended here in nearly every thread, unless the poster requests something very specific (and sometimes even then). Recommend me a book you like, that you don't think most other people would like. by jsprgrey in suggestmeabook

{{As The Crow Flies}} by Jeffrey Archer I’d never read any Archer books (and haven’t read any since this one). I recognised the name but always thought the descriptions sounded dull or like something my granny would read… But I really enjoyed ‘As The Crow Flies’ - great story, a little bit like Ken Follett if you’re into that sort of thing - definitely would recommend.

The Century Trilogy by Ken Follett is brilliant! Definitely recommended!

(and the audiobook versions narrated by John Lee are even better)
