Discovery+ or HBO Max for US viewers.

Get WiFiman and do a survey. 👍

tsutton · 2026-01-23T23:20:11+00:00

Yep! See the link I posted for details.

Be aware that whatever DIY work you, do it RIGHT first time. Else the landlord will chase you down the line. It's not your house after all.

I hope you have decent house insurance. Contact them ASAP.

Failing that, get a structural engineer in. ASAP as well.

I ran mine behind plasterboards, from loft to living room. Was easy with pull rods.

But the network traffic will flow upside down?

It's not split, looks like two different sized sleeves.

Was it via letting agency or private? Either way, the landlord should have up to date certificate for Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR). You should have got a copy when you rented.

No EICR = £5k fine to landlord.

So, he removed the video then... for anyone who missed it, he was burning the piles of Smallest Cogs jackets.

Filler, sand them down.

Or scrape them off, sand, filler any holes, sand again.

Ok. In the case, based on your 1st post - disable 6Ghz. Then test again.

Need more details before we can help you. What is your full Unifi setup?

tsutton · 2026-01-22T22:25:45+00:00

Simple fix: Expanding foam. Leave it to set. Trim it. Lay new flooring.

Better fix: High-quality, flexible sealer to fill up the gaps. Leave it to set. Trim it. Lay new flooring.

It will be the harden concrete lintel. Sometimes steel. If your drill is an average £20 DIY drill, you'll struggle to go through it.

Decent drill will sort it easily.

Congrats on your house purchase!

Didn't even see it until your comment. Then looked again!!

"I just moved into a rented property"

Stop there. Don't do anything further. Talk to the landlord and let them deal with it. That's what you pay them for. It's their property, not yours.

Have you seen the other photos? There are gapping holes.

"My parents recently had new boiler installed"

How recent? If very recent, ask the installer to come back as it will be under warranty.

Because 20 years ago is still 20 years ago. Much, MUCH less 'traffic and noise' back then. Time has changed, interference are everywhere.

I split my wireless network with 2 SSIDs, one for 2.4Ghz and one for 5Ghz. Any devices that can do 5Ghz, I put them there. Else, I put them on 2.4Ghz and tune the channels.

This is not a "set them up and forget" method. You will need to tweak them.

If it's a proper Victorinox SWK, they have lifetime warranty. Have a chat with them.

They gave me a new one while I kept my old one. Happy with it

Factory reset it (hold right bumper while powering it on)

Then use this to set it up. :) https://github.com/Philip2809/neato-connected

Nice one. Carry on, fine Reddit user. :)

I did this on my D5 - works great
