Brad, I use ethernet (yellow) to Solwise 1gb adaptor in mains power socket. Then using a Solwise adaptor and a Netgear 5 port to connect TV, BT box and 2 Humax boxes. Elsewhere another Solwise and ethernet cable to PC and again laptop when speed essential.
Still have more Solwise to plug into mains for grandchildren to use where wi-fi inefficient!
Our tablets and mobiles use wi-fi.
Now you have a complete rundown of our connectivity and the end of my technical knowledge.
Best of luck.

To explain my interpretation;
"SMG's client has indicated that it is awaiting an environmental planning approval which has taken longer than expected and has requested that the minimum tonnage requirement be suspended for March, April and May of 2018".
This would be suspension for a quarter of a year.
"The Client is to pay, quarterly in advance, a non-refundable prepayment of US $375,000 against future deliveries (payments are due in June, September and December 2018."
This would be payment for the following quarters;
June, July August
Sept, Oct, Nov
Dec Jan, Feb.
Still expect correction/discussion.
