ok cool .. well you're negotiating at gig-e between router and NTD then, so that isn't the issue. Sounds like you're going to have to…

Assuming you have FTTP, on your NBN NTD, what colour is the light for the UNI-D port that your router connects to?

What router do you have?

After getting the email from Moose, I simply needed to disconnect and reconnect the WAN cable and 500/50 then started working. Something to…

Ahh yes you are right, heating is mentioned when expanded cheers. Strange that only cooling is mentioned in the overview, and the marketing…

Upgrade from 100/20 -> 500/50 started working this morning. FTTP, Moose NBN, SA. If for some reason you didn't want to reboot your router,…

These offers need to offer a 10kW inverter option.

ESS is bit of a general term, but you then mentioned Smile .. that's Alpha, right? I think it's fine if you go with a trusted installer…

Heat Pumps have their pros and cons .. and there's so much excess energy around, here in SA prices go negative very often. It needs to be…

Put it on a mains load circuit with a Shelly EM + Hager contactor, and can then have it heat up during cheap electricity times. Add Home…

Brave Browser (can even use YouTube without ads. No extra add-ons needed)

MPC-HC is a bit outdated now. I'd go mpv.net

So, if using HA matter server, these matter smart plugs (basically) communicate over Wi-Fi back to the HA server? I'm assuming there's a…

what are the ING hoops like?

For anyone wondering, you can opt-out of CGNAT for free (dynamic IP) by contacting them. I have done just that. If you want a static IP,…
