    The only thing I got from amazon was the prime 3 months promo, really bad sale so far!
    I got hue bulbs, hue outdoor lighting, a longer ladder to reach one of my light fixtures that will also work as a scaffold for gardening and doing my gutters, a ms surface and accessories, meaning I now have four computers of similarish specs, micro sd cards, child locks, echo dots.

    I have the Orbi. It's fantastic. 500Mbit in every corner of the house.

    That’s what I would love but the price is crazy for just streaming

    Just a heads up... some items you might have purchased as a "Deal Price" on Amazon consequently drop in price to a REAL deal price the next day, so it's worth double checking your past orders this week against the current price.

    I got onto Chat and was credited back the difference, but it only works if the item was sold by Amazon.

    Anyone familiar with this? I'm tired of WiFi boosters and powerline plugs being unreliable. hollowcore flooring and solid walls...

    I picked up this a few months ago. I was keen on the Google 3-device mesh but it was still full price. Perfectly happy with these. We're in a 3 floor 1400sq ft semi (lots of competing signals in the estate). I have a cable run from the ISP's modem/router/wifi in the loft to the ground floor. The wired one connects wirelessly to the one in the kitchen (which also covers our small garden) and one directly above it on the first floor. So there are 4 access points throughout the house on every floor with strong coverage everywhere. I average 50+ Mbps (240 when wired) throughout the house.

    I have those setup in my place, my main issue with them is that the "roaming" takes about 30+ seconds to reconnect.

    That's down to your device, not the mesh. I have a Samsung S8 and set its wifi switching to "aggressive". The slightest lag it switches to mobile data and finds a new access point seamlessly. You'll never know or notice a glitch while it switches. But with older hardware you might need to cycle the wifi on & off to get it to switch.

    Thanks, I'll look it up sometime. I have the OnePlus 7pro, and wife has Samsung S10.

    I'd have preferred it a little longer but I should manage. Telescopic longer ones for same price but without the stabilizing bar or space to set one.

    I bought the Asus Zenbook from Currys and it was delivered yesterday. I only had it on for a little while yesterday, but first impressions for anybody who is thinking of buying it:
    - Build quality is absolutely top drawer. I knew it would be good, but was surprised by how good it is
    - Lovely screen
    - Speakers are pretty decent for laptop speakers, but tinny when turned up load
    - Keyboard is lovely to type on
    - Being able to use the trackpad as a numeric pad is really handy. If you press the top right corner of the trackpad, it lights up a display to show the numeric pad
    - The backlight didn't work on the keyboard initially, but as Windows was cycling threw downloading and installing updates, one of them must have been the drivers for it, as it began working after a restart
    - I can't comment on performance yet as I only had it on for a short time and it was installing so many updates that it was running a bit slow. Once I have all updates installed over the next few days, I will get more of an idea of it
    - Overall, very happy so far

    Any update on how you're getting on with this so far?

    Bought one of these for my wife and I'm very happy with the quality of the laptop and performance is great.

    When opened, the back edge of the top section is the stand, so I'm cautious that I don't drag it about to avoid scuffing. See pic here

    The display is nice and bright, the ability to change the trackpad into a numpad is very handy and I hope to wrestle it away from the wife more often.
