I use BT2700 HGV hub supplied with my company's business broadband account. We rent office space and so the hub is located in a room to which we have no access. Recently the company from which we rent office space installed additional wireless hubs for use by visitors to the facility (unsecured access, which is why we don't want to use it ourselves). These broadcast on channels 1, 6 and 11, and despite trying all the other channels I can't seem to find a channel for which the signal quality of our wireless is good - I suspect that the signal is being swamped by the other hubs.
It occurred to me that the power output of the hub is too low, but it would seem that I can't change the power level of the hub - it is locked to the minimum level. I have searched online and have verfied that BT changed the firmware to prevent people changing the power level setting. I don't understand why I can't change the power settings from the lowest setting - I don't want to exceed the maximum legal power level of 100 mW, I just want to try using a higher level than the minimum to see if that solves my problem.
Does anyone have any tips? Unfortunately I have no leeway with regards to relocating the hub (even getting access to it would be tricky!).
