Broadband & Wifi

The house has fiber connection (300 mbps download / 300 mbps upload) which makes it easy to work remotely from the house or enjoy the latest movies/TV shows. There are four Google Nest routers and access points throughout the property to secure good wifi coverage. The main router is in the utility cabinet behind the bedroom on the bottom floor, so in case of any wifi or network issues it’s usually resolved by restarting the router by unplugging it and plugging it back in (see pic of the router on the left). 

The name of the Wifi network is: “Kristjanssons” and the Wifi password is: “cantona7” 

Music

To play music in all speakers please use the Home speaker group. For playing music only outdoors please use the Outdoor speaker group and finally for playing music only indoors please use the Indoor speaker group.

Entertainment (films, tv shows and games)

There is a rather large amount of entertainment to be found either digitally or physically. There are DVD’s and Bluray films in the Media folders in the bookcase that is left of the TV. 

There is an Xbox with a big digital gaming library, there is a PS4 with SingStar for those of you who just can’t stop singing.

Lastly there is an AppleTV with Netflix, Disney+ and large amount of Movies and TV shows which can be accessed through the purchased films area on the device.

The TV in the Master Bedroom is controlled by the AppleTV remote (not the white TV remote). From there you can watch Netflix or the digital content accessible through the AppleTV.
