Right then...
Wifi won’t cover the whole house here due to too many solid stone walls!
Have a cat 5 or two access point in each room, all running back to where BT socket and main hub is. Therefore tried using another hub as a repeater, tried a BT home hub, got it working but for some reason it now will loose the wifi after roughly 5 mins but re connect after about two minutes then repeat constantly. Next day, devices wont connect stating incorrect password, switch the home hub off and on and will be ok for the evening barr the 5 minutes interuptions. Not ideal.
EE sent us another hub as we thankfully were able to upgrade to fibre in the cabinet. So have tried the old brightbox as the repeater, this will work for about 3 minutes then loose the internet connection permanently intill reset. I’ve done the disable DHCP thing, changed the setting to ethernet etc. Now after sone readup I changed the IP address of the second hub (changed from .1 to .2) to a different one to the first and moved the pool up one digit etc. It still wont work and now I cant log back into the admin of the hub with the .1 or .2.
Anyone tried something like this and can give me an idea of where I’m being thick or overlooking something?
