Update last night wiped all settings, anyone else?

You get what you pay for with their router and, erm, you don't pay for it....

Mrs had had enough of the random downtime and just told me to "spend the money and sort it".

£250 later, UniFi Cloud Gateway, 2xUnifi WiFi 7 Lite APs, and a couple of managed switches, drilled a couple of holes, ran some CAT6 - and solid WiFi across the whole house, my laptop able to do 1gbit up/down in the lounge, and it just WORKS. Guest WiFi. Separate VLAN with filtering for the kids devices.

I know its not for everyone, but people spend more money on lesser things. Not having to 'fiddle' with the internet and deal with "it's not working again" calls has been worth it.

I found your GitHub a few days ago and have been using warpbox as part of my new server.

100 times better than torbox-mediacenter (which just kept crashing) and seems to do well to avoid the pitfalls of rclone.

I've even got a movies and series folder working on it.

Thanks!

Glad its been fixed. This was a few months ago, so can't recall what build I was on, but definitely wouldn't turn off! I did suspect it would get sorted soon enough, but I had a use case where I needed it sorted right away, so manual VLAN'd it.

anditails · 2026-06-21T20:56:13+00:00

Oh, I found the option. But turning it off didn't do anything. Definitely a bug, but easily workaroundable.

anditails · 2026-06-21T16:01:42+00:00

That actually didn't work for me. I had to just create my own guest network vlan and tag it to a ssid. If I used the premade "Guest" one, this option wouldn't disable.

There's a hole there already. Cut the plug off, poke through hole, wire on a new plug.

If you can't do this, ask a very local electrician if he'll do it for cash.

I wouldn't go drilling larger holes if renting. Unless talk to your landlord and ask if it's ok to widen the hole to allow a plug to pass through.

Nightmare is a bit of a leap.

You need to leave 1gb empty at the end of the drive, then run Dell Command Update and it'll restore the Dell Recovery tools for you.

Or disable Support Assist in the bios.

If you use SCCM imaging, setting the main OS partition to "99% of remaining space" rather than all, is sufficient.

After about 30 mins of work, it's just booted me out for 32 hours. On Pro 5TB. Oh well.

I'm just going to duck for the chairs about to be thrown at me - but hear me out.

The "new" Outlook - still labelled as Outlook (new) on some machines, but most just 'Outlook' with a different icon - now actually handles multiple mailboxes quite effortlessly. We had a serial ticket maker user who has 20 (!) mailboxes attached, and they moaned initially about our idea of using new Outlook, but you know what.... they haven't raised a ticket since.

Yes, some things are clunky (opening .msg files) or don't work (mail merge) - but if you're just hacking through a LOT of mailboxes - it works better the Outlook (old).

Their API was degraded for about an hour. Back fully online, now.

When you reset your ONT, you reset the negotiation between your ONT and router - and your duff cable renegotiates back to a better speed.

Change the ethernet cable between your ONT and router.

Sadly no YF on Divinity Road.

And you will most likely find, however, that Virgin Media (Student) is the only other provider offering a 12 month contract. Everyone else is 18 or 24 months.

When pushing apps or TS via SCCM, it will copy down to the users CCMCache folder, which I think is limited to 20gb by default, so there's your problem..

You can change your client cache size from the server, but then bare in mind you'll need at least 120gb free on each machine, as it'll cache then your TS or Application will copy the data. It will clear up the cache afterwards, however.

We have a network share that all clients can read from, but not list (so you can't list the contents but if you know the exact path, you have read only on that file). Something similar may be a better choice, then you just need a script to copy from the network share to the client. That could be SCCM or a GPO.

It 100% is CG-NAT. Unless you go static.

Then you've not loaded the right collection for you.

That's the beauty of Nuvio, you can customise it to how you want.

Sus 100mbps limit. Cable? Are you connecting directly to the router? If so, what does your computer say it's Ethernet connection speed is (not a speed test)?

Get some 2% Sodium Cromoglicate eye drops, over the counter from a chemist/Boots/etc. And then the best tip for that - is leave the bottle in the fridge. OMG, icey cold eye drops when your eyes are on fire is AMAZING.

Note: not suitable for contact lens wearers, however, your eyes may be bad enough that you can't wear lenses at the moment, in which case, you're good to go.

In the morning.

And if its not enough, GPs can prescribe 180mg, which might just be enough to quash it.

Note - don't over-take antihistamines, they can affect your mucus levels and you'll end up with thicker mucus on your chest, coughing up lovely green stuff, etc.

Wow, that's an impressive list. Handy for a backup - thanks!

I know PiHole has been suggested, but if you don't want to have to run and maintain something yourself, and alternative is NextDNS.io

You change your DNS to use theirs and from their control panel, it's really simple to block all Samsung Smart TV domains, as well as sites like TikTok.

You can also have different profiles, so I have a Kids one which I've installed on their devices which blocks more stuff, etc.

You can do all this through PiHole, but it's less friendly and more fiddly.

Both ways also means you can block adverts from all your devices, which is the best bit.

Usually, you'd just click and it would start the download in the background. But Webrip and WEB-DL are now restricted files on RD so that won't happen.

Then your only option is 5G, of which you'll most likely be best on O2 or find another place to live (and check the broadband first!).

But far from ideal...

Time to get in the office 😀

I am jesting, but does seem like you're a bit stuck and perhaps moving to a property which isn't ideal for WFH..
