3630 forum posts 128 photos	Did this with an old BT Home Hub 2 ages ago to extend my WiFi to the workshop. Darned if I can remember why as I had run a cat 5 cable when I built the place. Also used a Hub 5 a couple of years ago to get good WiFi to the guest room. Both work well but the Hub 5 has a permanent warning light on so its not completely happy about something. I had to find detailed instructions on the internet as the procedure isn't quite generic and BT hubs are a bit different when it comes to setting up. Other makes may also have thier little quirks. I'm told that BT Hub 6 (and presumably later models) don't play well at this due to set up issues. Do-able I believe but others are easier. Clive

My cable router is on the ground floor and we have concrete floors between it and the upper floor. so a repeater is a must. regards
