I don't see that

so ants got his early Christmas prison

no it's yours mind arrives tomorrow

don't see that what so it's um Wi-Fi

extender some history we have we've been

using one of these

this is totally unspotted we don't know

anybody anything this is a tp-link and

it's a Wi-Fi extender Ariel I gained

Ariel and but it's not waterproof and

the cable on it's only a meter long and

if you try and extend this with a USB

extender cable this won't work for some

reason don't know why but it's been

really great and then someone put me on

to these on the internet so this was

just over a hundred ten euros delivered

from Amazon I'll put a link in the

description below and basically it's a

powered Ariel that will go out back on

our solar frame

picks up picks up Wi-Fi because the wife

one marina is a bit flaky and we use a

lot Wi-Fi so I can open it up and I have

a look

instructions up where I want them so

it's a couple of things in here there's

an aerial there's a Rooter and a power

supply and these are these are all

12-volt but there's a power adapter so

we can run it on moans as well oh I'll

get that

I'll get it all up unbox and I'll show

you how it works and how to install it

I'll bet ever read first there's the

area I don't know if you can see there's

an American an American naval base over

there it's about a mile away

and they've got free Wi-Fi and we're

actually picking up their free Wi-Fi and

it's about 60 megabytes per second so we

can stream Netflix or what's YouTube on

it yeah it's great this aerial

performing really well it's good even

better this is the aerial in position

and you'll see that we haven't taken the

top of the aerial above the solar panels

and arch

and the reason for that is we don't want

them on the aerial to cast a shadow on

the on the panels and then this plastic

conjure we've just fitted over the USB

cable we did that I'm taking a craft

knife and slot in the side because

obviously we wouldn't get the USB socket

through that small conduit or flexi

Conger and that just protects the cable

gives it an extra level of protection as

it comes down and goes into the gland at

the bottom there it goes in the same one

as their solar cables so let's show you

how let's show you how the software

works so here's how it works before up a

web page dial in the IP address of the

Rooter it the easy setup it scans and

hey presto half a dozen or more good

strong signals some intermediate signals

and some weak signals and these weak

signals we know about a mile and a half

two miles away and there's a rescan

button you can rescan again just make

sure that you're picking up all of the

signals let's make that window smaller

so you can see it all and then you

simply click on the signal that you want

to use obviously you need the password

and we're going to use this top one

because we have the password for that

you click on there put the password in

it saves the setting resets the router

and Bob's your uncle you've got you've

got Wi-Fi now you note here that we've

changed the name of the router to SV and

paradis Wi-Fi

so that we know what we're logging on to

because we also have a dongle which you

use as a VPN to get UK stations and

programs so it really is that simple as

I edited this video I realized that and

given a good explanation of how this

works oh here we go so let's think of

these Wi-Fi hotspots as the little stars

transmitting their signal for Wi-Fi

they're received by the high-gain aerial

which then sends them to the Reuter and

then the Reuter sends out another signal

to all your bits and pieces like your

iPhone your MacBook and your iPad so one

other clever thing this can do is if

you've got 4G on your iPhone or your

MacBook or a dongle it can pick up that

signal and then send that out through

the router to your other bits and bobs

so you can use any signal that you've

got which will give you Wi-Fi so those

have route up it's in the cupboard and

there's the area back there little

lights which tell we status and there's

the cable that we have to pull in from

the back of the boat and unfortunately

it's about I don't know what set 3/4 of

an inch

20 millimeters so you need to drill

holes and the bulkheads to pull it

through but yeah works fine so we've

been pretty impressed with this kit I

have to say everything you need to

install it comes in the kit and

reasonably priced if you think what some

people pay for Wi-Fi extender aerials

from other sources

so doors off the cupboard and the door

is off the heads see that there and that

panels have to come out because in there

you see it is our main water pump and a

friend of heirs advised us John have you

listening John Wetton take a spare mind

water pump because if it fails you can't

get your water tank so yesterday we were

cleaning out and filters and air tanks

and I thought I'd clear that you see

that's the shower drying pump going off

but we have another filter here that one

there in the middle of the screen and I

was going to take that out and clear

that up and I noticed

water dripping out of there so now we

have to take that pout pump off from

repair it so to repair it I need to get

spares and to get spares so I need to

order them and they're going to take

about a week to get here so meanwhile we

bought another pump and then this one

will come off and get repaired and be

our spare pump so the systems are opened

up and draining down the pump switched

off and now I'm going to use a shop vac

and to take the water usage of water out

of the pump and then have to put this

paneling back in and redo the mastic in

put the screws back in make it all tidy

it's a treat when you do this kind of

work open up your

taps put the Aqua Voeckler shop-vac on

to the tap

make sure there's another tap open in

the rest of the circuit turn it on and

it sucks all the water out and then what

you do is you release the hard iron you

back from shopping you don't release the

pump and what happens is all the water

goes into your aqua vac or into your

shop vac and not into your bilges top

tip

the pumps out we haven't got water

everywhere but we have got a shot back

full of water

the next thing you've got to do is to

take these fittings off for the new pump

like that there's a little bit water in

there and that filter and now we can

clean that filter out it's not it's

actually not too bad take that water out

of that and order a repair kit for

Johnny's always go there exactly that

point that's same place that the pump

went on we're in a volunteer and at

about the same time so I've got a new

pump in the box and I just got put these

on here but I'll clean this filter out

first that's been on there a while yeah

five years

it's not so bad that's just like plastic

not plastic plastic yeah that's where I

bet that's where the holes are made in

in the tanker base its plastics or

tailings

swarf at least it's locked again yeah

it's not into the system what they put

in the bin yeah all right so new pump

let's clean this off put it back

together

screw the pump back in connect up the

electrics check it for leaks Bob's your

uncle

Fanny's you're wrong so that's the

terminals on the end and the filter

cleaned out and put on the new pump and

that elbow so it's just a matter of

screwing nose up on the quick-release

fittings and there's the old pump and it

is identical it's just that's a par Max

and this one's a flow jet probably all

made in the same Factory and just label

different it's done but we did get a

spare filter and some other some other

ins as

[Music]

there's a threaded there and this one is

you see different that's got hosed help

coming out of it and as this threaded so

I'll use our original one but I'll take

this on board you never know when it's

going to be handy just got put the pump

back in there just get this place

cleaned up now so there we are

pops working the doors back in and remus

it yeah now we've got those wait for

these spares to arrive

we make these videos for you give us a

thumbs up and please subscribe

sale safe
