Ah, now that is far more sensible. As it is only for fail-over usage, it is a good enough solution.

Once you get the USB extension cable and some rubber-sticky-cups-like-doings to hold the dongle on the office window, all should then be good if a four-circuit outage should occur.

Janet has ordered a 5m active USB 2.0 extension cable. I am hoping it is A to B type, I’ve suddenly realised that I ought to check, although I did stress this requirement, that it needs to be an extender. (She is used to USB-to-Apple-lightning cables and mainly thinks of them as charger only cables.)

. . . I’ve suddenly realised that I ought to check, although I did stress this requirement, that it needs to be an extender.

Hmm, that could be another problem.  :-\  Try and check before it is dispatched.
