Extending a BT Home-Hub wireless network.

[Mark JB]

Hello all.

My in-laws have a BT connection from a Home-Hub which provides good wireless signal all around the house.

Now they have a large garage separated from the house by around three meters and unfortunately the wireless access doesn't reach. In order to create an additional wireless network in the garage (laptop and phones used in there regularly) can they run an ethernet cable into the garage to an access point such as this.

I ask both for what equipment would be appropriate and if the BT Home-Hub causes any issues as i know what BT can be like.

Thanks.

yeah that would work. only issue I can see is the rather slow dns server in the bt homehub/bt broadband

yeah BT is fine really, I'm only changing because LLU Sky has become available in our area. The upload speed is also double, and I'm a big uploader!
