Title: Homehub Post by: tans on Tuesday, November 16, 2010, 22:02:47 I have a BT home hub, however if i plug it into the phone socket upstairs, it says there is no broadband. If its plugged downstairs in to the main socket for the house it works. The main PC is kept upstairs, is it possible to use a wireless dongle on the pc to use the homehub connection?

Title: Re: Homehub Post by: Samdy Gray on Tuesday, November 16, 2010, 22:16:13 Yeah Wifi will work. Sounds like there's something wrong with your extension wiring.

How is the extension wired to the master socket? Title: Re: Homehub Post by: stfcinbmth on Wednesday, November 17, 2010, 01:00:06 Filters on all used sockets I presume tans?
Title: Re: Homehub Post by: Batch on Wednesday, November 17, 2010, 12:07:52 I was thinking more that the extension might be plugged in after master socket filter. hence no broadband
Title: Re: Homehub Post by: tans on Wednesday, November 17, 2010, 13:00:36 No idea!
Bt activated the line and the broadband Title: Re: Homehub Post by: Simon Pieman on Wednesday, November 17, 2010, 13:29:50 BT engineers are blagging cunts anyway. They told my mum the current download speed was only 13Mbps because the computer was old which is a complete load of bollocks
Title: Re: Homehub Post by: magicroundabout on Wednesday, November 17, 2010, 13:48:41 if you do a lot of downloading Tans then wireless will drop your speed by upto 15%. Possibly more if your walls are thick etc
Homeplugs are a good replacement. it's what i use for my Virgin 50mb and they're quality. Title: Re: Homehub Post by: Samdy Gray on Wednesday, November 17, 2010, 13:52:20 Is that on Infinity, Si?
