slave router and BT hub (Read 374 times)

jackdouglas7 Newbie Offline Have you tried FrequencyCast yet? Posts: 1	slave router and BT hub Jul 25^th, 2010 at 10:26pm I have just got my broadband with BT but my daughters room is so far away that the signal is poor. Can I use my old netgear dgn1000 modem upstairs as a slave to the BT hub to boost the signal. I also want the BT hub and netgrear to be wireless. Also if I can do this is there an idiots guide to help ?

If so then you can not join them via wireless as the hub does not support WDS, just googling quickly and it appears the DGN1000 also does not support WDS. You can only extend and join them via homeplugs or cat5 cable.

Quick idiots guide from slow idiot...

Find out how to get into the Netgear using ethernet and...
- ensure wireless encryption is set to WPA or better
- disable firewall
- disable DHCP
- change it's home IP address from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.175 and save settings.
- connect ethernet to ethernet, preferably with a long ethernet cable from ebay. or as FS says Home-plugs (if you have the cash spare!)
- reboot Home hub then reboot Netgear. If that does not connecft them, try it the other way round.
- remove any previous Netgear wireless connections from the PC, reboot PC, and reconnect by wireless to Netgear
