After struggling for years with ropey Wi-Fi connections around the house (with a variety of Heath Robinson fixes like relays, mesh nodes and power-line-comms) the repeated failures of Skype / Teams / Zoom calls while Working From Home nowadays pushed me over the edge: I needed Ethernet. Specifically, five cable runs from near the broadband router to five different rooms around the house across three floors, with sockets and a LAN switch to bring them all together.
I roughly costed up the parts and cabling required, then contacted a few companies in the area for quotes: AMG were both the most reasonable and had the best availability, and reviews and testimonials looked good.
Adam came out for the initial survey (within a few days) and impressed me with his knowledge, ability to quickly understand what I was after and his flexibility (with both set-up and dates etc. … And with squeezing into our loft eaves, come to think of it). He also proposed a different, better solution to what I\'d considered (to go externally rather than through the house, which makes it easier to pass The Wife Test).
Installation was smooth, Adam automatically took his boots off whenever he came into the house, caught all the brick dust with dust sheets, and hoovered up anything that escaped. Every socket is perfectly fitted and aligned to a degree that soothes my OCD/anal-retentiveness, and works brilliantly.
Latency is a thing of the past, I\'ve now got decent Wi-Fi coverage (by repurposing my plethora of mesh nodes as access points/routers plugged into each Ethernet point) throughout the house - geek bliss :).
As an electronics / systems engineer myself (and Chartered Engineer etc. ), I can vouch for the quality of the overall solution and implementation.
I thoroughly recommend AMG, and am wondering what else I could get them to come and do in the future…
