Hi

I recently installed a BT Home hub for my boss. He has a rather large house but there are a few interesting issues.

1. His laptop is in the same room as the hub and works great
2. His children's PC's (on the third floor) have a satisfactory signal (30-35MB)
3. His wifes is on the second floor and the signal tends to reach 1MB-11MB and is quite erractic.

With the distance of between the home hub and his wifes study being quite large as well as them not favouring wired, Ethernet is out of the equation. How do you get around this issue? Is it as simple as buying a wireless access point and hiding it somewhere in between the home hub and the troubled area?

Thanks for your time
 
MIMO wireless router should resolve your problems otherwise a wireless repeater could solve the issues too.
 
As above poster said. Powerline are great. the WGXB102 works very well, but..

Don't bother with useing the cd instaler, do the manual set up, bit more work but worth it as tbh not seen one work yet on CD. unless you dont have any security and call your ssid NETGEAR !!!!

The HDXB101 is so simple its a jk, plug and play but it's a hardwire not wireless.
 
Thanks for all your suggestions, not quite decided and I think i will have to do a bit of research on those powerlines. Thanks a lot.

Hi

I am interested in buying the Netgear HDXB101 but I was wondering if any of you own one or have used it as wireless is not that useful when playing a game on xbox 360.

Thank you Michael
