Hi Sue

Errrrr what is an 'Ethernet component' please?

I buy ''gadgety stuff' from ebay / amazon. Once we get a parcel delivery pick up point in CE that will really help. On the resto thread we hear that the new 19h may be able to offer that service shortly. I hope so

You could try "App" shop in calle Huelva, "Antenas del Guadiana" opposite the big parking by the river, and also the Chinese shop nearby the traffic light.

Don't buy electrical components from the Chinese shops, I'm afraid they are unlikely to meet any standard and be safe.
Don't know how far from Ayamonte you want to look. I bought Cat5 cable (15m) in Carrefour and an Ethernet (non wifi) router in Wortan in the plaza at the Plaza Tavira. Not sure where you would get smaller components. I hardwired my Priinet router direct into my TV's Ethernet port.

Ethernet is the link layer of a communications stack and is the protocol for connecting computers on a local area network, LAN. It predates WiFi and is most commonly used on wire (UTP - unscreened twisted pair, Cat5 or Cat6) or fibre optic. The primary components are: ethernet adaptors (in the computer); ethernet cable; routers and hubs. Ethernet can currently deliver 400Gbs and soon 1000Gbs over fibre and higher bandwidth and is therefore preferred for data streaming services like TV.

Hi Mike
I understand that its best to hardwire especially if streaming HD vs doing it via WiFi. I use my laptop connected to the TV and I have a long cable which connects to a port on the Priinet router and the pc.. Our tablets only have WiFi connectivity. However if Priinet is working well we stream just fine over wi-fi.

In the past you've helped us with 'mifi' (I think its called that) using a Zoom router.

So why would you buy a non WiFi router, when you already have several ports to hardwire from the Priinet router and also your zoom router, please? I just wanted to see if Ive missed something.

I also second you re Chinese shops - never buy any electrical stuff from them, or most tools. I bought an extension lead with 4 sockets.Thank goodness I was at home when it caught alight behind a wooden sideboard! The fuses didnt trip either.

I bought some wooden hangers and came back after 3 months to find the closet covered in yellow spores coming from the join in the wood. It stunk! Luckily all the clothes washed out in the washing machine (several loads) and vinegar cleaned out the woodwork.

Ugh!!

My house used to be a network of ethernet cables - until wifi routers began to deliver reasonable throughput. I have downsized considerably since those days and now have a cardboard box full of old hubs & routers

Now I am more confused as to why you bought a non wi-fi router at Worten, Tavira. Lets discuss this over a 🍺! See you soon
