My daughter was the same, had apple for years, swore she would never ever change and then she was seduced by Mr Huawei.

At the moment I don't want to move away from Apple but Huawei are really good and I wouldn't knock them.

Yes, but he would have meant to if he wasn't having an iTunes induced meltdown at the time. ?

I have a Huawei mifi thingy too, I've had mine for years and it gets better signal than some of my old phones. I would recommend them every time - It was faster than my last broad band provider. :rolleyes:

Now, while you are here Dr Bob, have you managed to setup your router as a file sever using Samba (wotever that is).What address do I put in the chrome app,plus another 50 questions..........

A file server? I could do with a dinner server......or a beer server.

I connect to the router by wifi from the mac and varioius ipads etc, and plug the tv, bt youview box and Rasp Pie direct into the router and the router then sends its signals in/out. Not a clue at all about what else the router can do. I have a hard disk connected to the Rasp Pie so I can play mp4's etc on the tv so there is a network of sorts but never thought that the router could do any more. Thinking about also connecting it to another rasp pie or a victron color wotsits to monitor power when I finally get the boat back.

You need to RTFM too then!

 

It's got digital & analogue inputs and outputs for process control & monitoring, does all sorts of fancy stuff via SMS, has a file server, gps, etc etc.

 

Hit the web interface on it and see what options you get.  You might not need another Pi.

Clever.

 

Yes, you can stick a usb thumb drive and / or sd card directly into the router (well, you can on the rut955).It recognises the drive in the browser (192.168.1.1),but then i m stuck. I gather I can then connect an app to that (x-plore) and browse the files. Thats the bit i'm stuck on. Dunno what address to use. Have you got an address I can use?

Mmmmmmn. First thing. Check we are talking about the same thing. Guess we are cause it is the one Rusty also got and 955 sounds like what I remember.

Second. RTFM

Third. Move forward to the bleeding edge.

Thankyou chocolate cookie for the info and prod.

I was looking at the Kindle fire stuff recently.   I have a iPad/iPhone already and I’ve used a mini vs fire and prefer the iPad.   Although I’m waiting for the update as the current mini is a little old.

These look ok for the money (53 quid)

The price looks good but I wonder what it’s like to use. I was ‘given’ a tablet when I took out a new phone contract a year or two back and it’s total pants. I tried it once and then stuck it in a drawer.

What make was it? Tablets are really only good for sofa surfing imho,so as long as you can access software,internet and the screen is acceptable with a decent battery life, that is all I would require.

I use a Kindle fire purely to handle canal maps- or wotever they are called. Screen seems good and battery lasts a while

I think that was only 60 squid ish.
