Connecting multiple hubs/routers

[Buzzbee]

Hi,

I've just signed up with BT business broadband and setup OK, in part.  However, using my BT Business hub/wireless router its range doesn't reach other computers.  Too many obstructions/metal cladding etc. Setting a wired network would entail long runs and awkward. However, if it were possible to connect my existing hub to another wireless router/hub it would only require a short cable run, approx 15 mtrs. This second hub would then be in good wireless range for the other computers.

Question, and please bare in mind I'm not an expert on these matters, is it possible and how do I set it up if it is??

Many thanks

you can. you would need to plug it in via ethernet to the micro. make its address be one in the same ip range of the micro (ie. if micro ip is 192.168.1.1 give the access point 192.168.1.x to be in range)

and then just make sure DHCP is off.

i did this not with a micro but 2 BT business hubs so that the wireless covers more area.
