What max current will the rear USB actually supply 5V at?
I will report back here. I can thrash it at my house much more easily than my parents since I have some gigabit ethernet devices and 300 / 50 broadband compared to my parents 38 / 8.- Owen Smith

I have a couple of USB C power measuring dongles already. It comes with a USB A to USB C power lead, which is exactly what I need. I might prefer a shorter one but those can be purchased.- Owen Smith

What max current will the rear USB actually supply 5V at?
I've ordered one of these 4 port gigabit switches since it claims 210mA consumption from 5V: https://www.amazon.nl/dp/B0DPK288PG. I've ordered it from Amazon UK which sells the same product but doesn't list the consumption.- Owen Smith

What max current will the rear USB actually supply 5V at?
I forget when auto detect of cross over came in. It didn't exist 25 years ago last time I did some cabling in a commercial building. Capitalisation is all over the place these days anyway. I lost the will to try to get it right when things like 7G started being used heavily instead of 7g to...- Owen Smith

What max current will the rear USB actually supply 5V at?
All the ethernet at my house is gigabit, except on links to things like HDR Fox T2 that support 100mbit max. I have 300mbit down / 50 mbit up broadband so I do get throughput greater than 100mbit on some operations, typically firmware updates of various things. All the cabling in the walls and...- Owen Smith

People used to report all sorts of problems trying to use SCSI devices, generally hard discs and scanners. I used SCSI a lot and never had any trouble, but then I always properly terminated the SCSI bus whereas most people seemed to think that was optional or were unaware of the requirement. I...- Owen Smith

Failed recordings - and more!
I don't understand why that is proving so difficult for you. Life is basically impossible without a home network these days. Have you tried taking your entire network apart and rebuilding it one item at a time? And then use just that for a few days before adding the next item? And don't use a...- Owen Smith

5 port or 8 port version? These look like 100mbit but that isn't a problem, broadband is 38mbits at my parents. And no streaming service has streams much above 25mbits anyway.- Owen Smith

What max current will the rear USB actually supply 5V at?
I'm aware of those devices, we used them at one of my previous jobs. They would do the job at my parents apart from one problem: there are no spare sockets on the broadband router at the other end of the cable. Routers generally only have 4 ethernet ports, and it's surprisingly easy to fill them.- Owen Smith

Wifi has always been a challenge at their house. It was built in 1960 and breeze blocks at the time had a lot of coal fired power station ash in that had high metal content. The internal walls are terrible for blocking wifi. I made things better a year or two ago by finally getting enough cat 6...- Owen Smith

That's the sort of suggestion that makes my dad go into mega sulk mode. It's not worth the aggravation. AI? Online search? You can do it easily from the unit price on your electricity bill.- Owen Smith

What max current will the rear USB actually supply 5V at?
OK that's evidence the front and rear panel USBs have separate regulators. That's useful to know. The new TV will have wifi, they all do. But wifi is less reliable than a cable, and as I said I want to try to reduce phone calls from my parents asking for help getting something working. The less...- Owen Smith

So it sounds like the answer to question I asked is: no-one on here knows if the rear panel USB can reliably supply more than 500mA.- Owen Smith

The front panel USB can do 500mA as well. There's a decent chance I can take 1A from one of the USB sockets provided I don't have anything in the other socket. I live in Cambridge, my parents in Yorkshire. The less there is at my parents that can go wrong the less likely I am to get phone calls...- Owen Smith

I need the ethernet to come up when the HDR Fox T2 comes out of standby twice a day to check for new recordings I have set using RS. The TV almost certainly won't be on at the time.- Owen Smith

The point is the ethernet switch would only be powered on when the Humax was turned on. So if watching TV either with Humax or on TV for streaming provided they turn both boxes on everything would work. And while the Humax is in standby, the ethernet switch is off. Yes it does, as I said I want...- Owen Smith
