    [SOLVED] Use internal hard drives as NAS without a full PC power on

    [SOLVED] Flat slide-in/slide-out connectors

    Cheers. I reckon I'll probably go for a universal phone mount, similar to tethertools one but around £1 elsewhere. Was hoping for something with a lower profile but oh well...

    I've run myself in circle on this one so go easy, not sure what I'm doing! So we have a new outbuilding in which I'm trying to set up Wi-Fi. The router in the outbuilding (slave) is running DD-WRT has a wired connection to the main one in the house (master), and will be broadcasting its own...
