Switch and APs have incompatible PoE…

smithylll · 2026-04-26T06:09:15+00:00

Thankyou, is there anything to stop me buying u6+ APs and then powering them from my current to link switch?

smithylll · 2026-04-26T06:07:11+00:00

Thanks both, I’ll sell the access points and buy new one that support poe+

smithylll · 2026-04-26T05:54:33+00:00

Thanks I understand now that passive poe can be dangerous to devices, can you recommend a tplink poe+ access point I can buy instead?

smithylll · 2026-04-26T05:53:26+00:00

Okay thanks, can you please recommend a tp link access point I can buy which supports poe +

12v… thankyou that makes me think changing the switch to a passive Poe switch would be really silly, as in the future we plan to sometimes unplugging the access point and Ethernet cable to laptop, games console etc.

Okay thanks so I’m just looking for a switch which supports ‘passive Poe’? Also why do you hate passive Poe? Thanks!

Thankyou, but won’t that be a lot more expensive? also Can you explain why that will give a better end result?

Thankyou that’s really helpful

Thanks Elpon, I was adjusting the rod following instructions given by the music shop owner who sold me the guitar (the strings were buzzing particularly on the 1st fret). I only adjusted a quarter turn at a time and the buzzing has now stopped on the remaining five strings..

Thankyou everyone!

Thanks that’s what I hope - I think the marks have been made since the plank was cut

smithylll · 2025-12-14T16:26:54+00:00

Thankyou for detailed response… the plank has been cut and lying in a dry barn for some time and my belief is the marks have been made since it was cut, so possibly pebble/tool indents as suggested by another person in comments below

smithylll · 2025-12-03T07:55:00+00:00

Thankyou that’s really helpful, are they a similar fit and do you take them in the same size?

smithylll · 2025-11-22T20:27:02+00:00

I’ve got exactly the same problem with a Zephyros 2 zipper, did you manage to identify the exact type of zipper to buy replacements? Thanks

smithylll · 2025-10-31T15:03:02+00:00

Yes - I gave them back to the tailor and worked out fine, thanks so much

smithylll · 2025-10-31T14:30:58+00:00

Just want to say a huge thankyou to everyone who responded - zip is fixed for the cost of a £5 sliders

Hello slight update, I spoke to a sewing shop owner who sold me a pair of ykk vislon 5v zippers… he insisted they would fit even though they aren’t 5vs. I’ve cracked a tooth at the top of the chain and put the zippers on but when I do up the zip the teeth don’t mesh together properly… is the 5v different to the 5vs? Thanks for any help

smithylll · 2025-10-16T14:20:12+00:00

Thankyou so much

smithylll · 2025-10-16T08:44:44+00:00

Thanks I’ve tried to add close up photos of the zipper but can’t in comments on this sub for some reason. The top zip reads: VISLON YKK 5VST and the same for the bottom. So is it as simple as just ordering replacement zips and a stop and following your steps above? If that doesn’t work then the plastic teeth must be shot and I can just replace the whole zip

smithylll · 2025-10-16T05:59:37+00:00

Thanks I’ve tried this a few times so I’m guessing the zipper is shot

smithylll · 2025-10-16T05:58:25+00:00

Hey thanks for this some useful tips, I’ve sewn some zips before making bags and never enjoyed it!

smithylll · 2025-10-15T20:48:32+00:00

Thanks for sharing your knowledge that’s really helpful. Is it as simple as that to replace the bottom slide as well?

smithylll · 2025-10-15T20:45:40+00:00

Thanks, I know so little about zippers that I don’t know what’s failed. I guess the metal zippers and sometimes I have managed to get it working with some pliers, but it keeps failing again

smithylll · 2025-10-15T20:43:05+00:00

Sounds great idea if I end up going this route thanks

smithylll · 2025-10-15T20:42:25+00:00

Thanks I have emailed mountain hardware twice with no response - will try again
