I currently have a Bt Home Hub (Which is my main internet connection in my flat), and a Bt Business Hub (Which I've managed to set up into bridge mode), but the problem i'm having at the moment is that I cannot seem to find a way to tell my Business hub to communicate with my home hub and recieve a wireless internet connection. I get the feeling I'm probably missing something obvious...
I'm not the most techonologicaly advanced, so could anyone possibly explain the solution in laymans terms?
Any help would be much appreciated!
My Business Hub is a 2700hgv, and I have a Home hub 3.
Thanks again,
Chris.
If you're purely just wanting to get the benefits of wireless N from your home hub, 1st of all set your Home Hubs IP address to an IP within the Business Hubs range (i.e. 192.168.1.1 / 255.255.255.0) and DISABLE DHCP on the Home Hub. Plug the Home Hub into the Business Hub with an ethernet cable and disable wireless on the Business Hub to save confusion. Now any time you connect wirelessly, you'll connect to the Home Hubs wireless connection, but all IP assignment and internet traffic is handled by the Business Hub.
It seems to me that you are trying to extend wireless range to other parts of your premises. In which case, please see this thread:
Roaming and multiples Access Points
Thanks for all the hel[p guys, but I'm still a bit lost.
I read through the other thred that was linked to, but it doesn't seem to have any information on the wireless set up I would need, only wired. I just cannot figure out how to tell my business hub to wirelessly connect to my home hub and act as a bridge.
A wired connection between the two is impossible to me at the moment.
I have the business hub set up in bridge mode, but I can't seem to find any way of directing it to pick up my home hub signal.
Thanks again,
Chris
Bridged mode in the Business Hub is a way to allow the Business Hub to connect to the broadband service, with a second router, "behind" the Hub providing wireless, DHCP and other networking services.
In essence, Bridged Mode turns the Business Hub into nothing more than an ADSL modem.
Yes, so once the business hub is in bridge mode, acting as a router, I just need to know how to connect it wirelessly to my home hub.
I have a 210 modem set in bridge mode, but I no longer require the bridge mode. Long since forgotten how to setup bridge mode or more to the point, how to remove the bridge mode so the 210 can be used as a standard ADSL modem.
Can anzone tell me how to revert the 210 ?
