I imagined that by this point in the day I would be leaning back smugly and wirelessly enjoying the latest sounds from top beat combos - not seething with anger and wanting two hours of my life back.


Can anyone offer any advice?


The plan was to connect my modem via ethernet to a powerline adaptor, then connect the other one of the powerline pair into my airport express in order to listen to 'tunes' wirelessly on Spotify (the powerline was to fix dropouts in sound I was experiencing).


So, modem working fine. Power-up powerlines.. all fine. But as soon as I make the ethernet connection to the airport express, the modem stops working. Why would this be?


Anyone..? Bueller..?

Thanks for this:


The Modem worked fine with Airport Express (set to 'join an existing network') previously. The modem works fine with the Powerline (I've tested this to make sure it's working).


I'm assuming I need to reconfigure something in the airport express - but the airport express seems to want to be reconfigured via the modem in order to work with the modem. But connecting all three disables the modem, so I can't reconfigure the AE.. I'm probably explaining this very poorly.


I did have one thought: I'm 'reconfiguring' an existing AE setup: should I be doing a factory reset of the AE - and then when I plug all three in it will start afresh and organise itself without a conflict?

      I don't know if this is the right section to put this, but if you see anybody sleeping rough in this freezing cold, you can alert an organisation who will help via this link https://thestreetlink.org.uk/ Shelters have been set up in London for them. This is from an email I got today: London has been facing dangerously cold temperatures. For those sleeping rough, this weather can be life-threatening. London’s Severe Weather Emergency Protocol (SWEP) has been activated throughout this week to ensure warm, safe emergency accommodation has been available for those who need it. StreetLink connects people sleeping rough with local outreach teams who assess their needs and offer support services. By making a report, you could save someone’s life.

      Looks like the flats were built on the same footprint.

      Gas Safe Engineer Rob Mills

      I'm going to add a fourth recommend for Rob Mills. A while back he did my boiler check and was so much more thorough than the previous boiler engineers I'd used, also taking the time to explain everything he was doing and why, which was extremely reassuring. Then this last weekend, when it was freezing cold,  my boiler stopped working early on Saturday morning and was throwing out error messages that I couldn't resolve. He walked me through various steps to try via text message and resolved the issue for me with no charge. I was incredibly grateful and honestly, highly recommend him.
