Re: Moving router

Just try it and see. The wall port should be active.

Re: Moving router

Hi GamerNumpty,

Thanks for your post, welcome to the Community Forum!

You're more than welcome to move your equipment about in your home if you want to, however if you don't feel comfortable or don't quite know how, we'll be happy to schedule in a visit for you. There'd be a one off charge for this appointment however for £25.

Let us know 😀

Beth
