Possibility of phone tethering and bt Home hub wifi extention

apostolis_kt · 14 Nov 2019 at 10:26

I have unlimited tethering on my phone and I have decent signal, most speedtests show roughly 44Mbps. My area can get fttc so roughly i could get up to 63mbps average, but since i am paying for my phone anyway i decided to use that for now.

Currently I am using my phone for all home devices to connect to for their internet needs.

Is it possible to use one of my old BT routers ( i think i have a Home hub 5 or so gathering dust) to extend the signal in the whole house?

apostolis_kt - check your email, I’ve sent you a message

I also messaged your PSN too.

I could not send you a PM/Conversation message, do you have it disabled?

I must have had it off. I ticked an option now could you try again to pm me?

Any ideas on my question in the original post would be much appreciated. So far the whole house uses my phone but I have issues with the sky box which connects but the downloads are horribly slow.

SkyHD+ box 1.4GB show to download takes more than 1 hours. Same show downloaded on the laptop sky app is downloaded in minutes and instantly streamable. So was trying to see if i use a wifi extender if it would do any difference and have quite a few routers from bt and plusnet lying around
