BT Business Hub extend range ethernet/DC to WIFI AP

Hi I have a BT Business Hub and I need to extend the range of the wireless signal as I have thick walls. Here's how I'm thinking; 2 x Ethernet/DC Mains plugs. One end connected to the BT Business Hub and the other connected to my new AP. Ok so I just wanted to ask, is this even possible with BT Business Hub? Is it also possible for me to extend the wireless range (if needed) further using another set of Plugs??? Also if so could you please recommend a cheap AP that would do the job?? Thank you

I'm currently travelling and without access to my network of multiple 2700's.

 

On the slave, make sure your TURN OFF DHCP and select an IP within the range of the primary and when you set the secondary copy the subnet of the primary.

Hi Yandoo. If router LAN IP is 192.168.1.254, just set the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.

 

Your hosts IP range should be 192.168.1.1-253. That's as basic as you can get. Good luck.
