Can i set up a wired connection in another room?

Hello BT community forums
I am a BT customer using the BT homehub 2.0 connected to my main phone line.
My question is: Downstairs I have the typical setup with my computer for wireless to my sons bedroom in the newly built extentions but the wireless connection is poor and disconnects often. This extentions bedroom has a phoneline in aswell with a fully working BT homephone, would I be able to set up a wired connection to the computer in the extention bedroom using this phoneline so we can have a wired connection to my sons computer?
If any other information is required please ask and I will provide.
Thank you for any help and advice provided.

No you can't use the phone line to provide an Ethernet connection to your Son's computer. Also, you can't have two Routers on the same Telephone Line. Some options are:
Move the BT HH to a position nearer your Son's room
Use a pair of Powerline Ethernet adapters to provide Ethernet connection ove your Mains wiring
Run an Ethernet Cat5 cable from the Router to your Son's room
Set up a Wireless "repeater" using WDS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_Distribution​_System
Is there a good reason why the Wireless performance is so poor? How far is the computer from the Router and how many/ what construction are the intervening walls?
Is it possible that there is another Wireless signal interfering with yours? Have you tried changing Wireless Channel?

  • How can I set up Wi-Fi connection between my iPhone 4 & my wireless Linksys WRT54G router?

    How can I set up Wi-Fi connection between this iPhone I bought and my wireless Linksys router (WRT54G) that I'm using for home netwrking for my PCs?
    Tried settings on iPhone, selceted Wi-Fi connection, then pressed my network name shown on this iPhone, but nothing happens after that.

    Do you not get the icon on the top bar of the iPhone?
    Once you press on the network, the iPhone should connect to it. If the Network has a wep or WPA key it should be requested at that time.
    Once the above has been completed, then the iPhone is connected. And you can use the wifi conneftion to browse the internet. It should also show a checkmark next to the network signifying it connected.
    If its having trouble connecting or taking some time you should see the   next to the network spinning around.

  • Can I set 1 laptop wireless connect with static IP to WRT610N?

    I have a WRT610N with 3 PCs wired and various wireless devices accessing.  1 of the wireless devices, running Windows 7, needs to run a static IP.  Do/Can I set this up in the router or do I need to do in the PC?

    You can use DHCP reservation in the router to assign a fixed IP address to the PC.
    Or you can set the static IP address on the PC directly.

  • How can I set up a data connection to an Oracle DB

    Hi,
    I want to set up a data connection to an Oracle DB.
    I know the first step is to go to New data connection, then select OLEDB database and then I need to create a connection string. Well from now on I am lost. What are the next steps I need to take? Does anyone has an example

    Your iMac with ARD... this is the bona fide, ($300/$500) "Remote Desktop.app" admin install, or do you mean that you have ARD "Remote Management" access enabled or have tried to control Vista with Microsoft's similarly-named "[Remote Desktop Connection|http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/remote-desktop/default.mspx]" app? (Just making sure—it would be a very different conversation otherwise.)
    Remote Desktop does lots of fancy stuff, but for the Observe and Control mechanisms it behaves as a plain-jane VNC client. It can connect to any standards-compliant VNC server. You should, for example, be able to run a different VNC client on your Mac and have a similar success/failure experience; perhaps the excelent [Chicken of the VNC|http://sourceforge.net/projects/cotvnc>. If you have the same failures, we'll still help, but ARD is obviously not the culprit. In any case, the usual suspects for windows VNC servers include UltraVNC, realVNC \[paid ver. required for vista\], and TightVNC. They all have caviats, but they're fairly well documented. Vista itself throws VNC under the bus "in favor of security" but again, you'll find lots of users in the same boat; unable to get the VNC server working on the Vista side. Your statement that you "couldn't even see the machines connected to it to get the IP" was bit confusing though, as devices don't need to be running a VNC server to at least show up in a scan (IP printers should appear, for example). Are you sure they're on the same subnet of the same lan/being otherwise scanned for correctly; or if remote, are you sure the remote Vista laptop is directly addressable with NAT from the web?
    Let us know. Good luck. Joel

  • Wired connections from different rooms to Infinity...

    Any help much appreciated with this as I got a predictably vague answer from BT over the phone -
    Currently I use BT Broadband (can only get a 2mb connection due to distance from exchange) and my set-up is like this -
    In the living room is my netgear router/modem along with a PS3, Xbox360 and Wii connected to it through 3 of the 4 ethernet ports on the router.
    The 4th ethernet port is connected to a 'home plug' which sends the broadband through my electrical wiring to another 'home plug' upstairs which is connected to my PC.
    Is it possible to do this with BT Infinity?
    I know a lot of folks slate BT but my 'wired' connection has always been reliable and never goes down. I'm adamant that I want the stability of a 'wired' connection and don't trust wireless. Am I being old-fashioned or anyone else prefer the 'wired' way?
    Thanks in advance

    I'd wait and see how your homeplugs perform before changing.... but if you do get a performance problem that's the first thing I would change based on other peoples experience.
    And as Michael mentioned there has been quite a few people recently deciding to ditch the HomeHub3.

  • Can I set up TC without connecting it to the internet?

    I access the internet on a wireless network and do not have a direct line for my internet connection. Is it possible to set up Time Capsule for Time Machine backups without connecting it to the network? Or do I have to use TC in bridge mode?

    In option 2 that you described, it sounds like I will actually be connecting to the Time Capsule through the primary wireless router on the existing network that I get my internet access from - if this is the case, won't the back-ups be painfully slow?
    Yes, for best backup performance you would want to be connected directly to the TC by wire.
    And can I completely prevent access to my Time Capsule by turning off the Sharing and Guest network options in this set-up?
    In this configuration, the TC would not be performing as a router. The Guest network option would not be available.

  • Can't set up an internet connection on BEFW11S4 if WEP is Enabled

    When I enable wep I can't make a network connection. I see select the network name under Internet Connection (on Mac G4, OSX) but the passord is declined. Where do I find the WEP Passord? Isn't it the same as the WEP Encryption Number (WEP Phrase)?

    In the non-working computer, temporarily turn off the software firewall, and see if that helps.
    Make sure you have the latest driver for your wireless card.
    Make sure you have the latest firmware for your router.
    If you still have a problem connecting:
    Some Apple users have needed to set their computers to a fixed LAN IP address.  Linksys has some very specific rules about using fixed LAN IP addresses:
    Rules for using fixed LAN IP addresses on Linksys routers:
    With Linksys routers, a fixed (static) LAN IP addresses must be assigned in the device that is using the address. So you need to enter the fixed address in the computer or printer, not in the router.
    When using a Linksys router, any fixed LAN IP address must be outside the DHCP server range (typically 192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.149), and it cannot end in 0, 1, or 255.
    Therefore any fixed LAN IP address would normally need to be in the range of
    192.168.1.2 thru 192.168.1.99 or
    192.168.1.150 thru 192.168.1.254
    assuming you are still using the default DHCP server range.
    Also, in the computer, when you set up a static LAN IP address, you would need to set the "Subnet mask" to 255.255.255.0 and the "Default Gateway" to 192.168.1.1  and the "DNS server" to 192.168.1.1
    It is also important that no two devices on your network be set to the same static LAN IP address.

  • Can I set up a startup disk for another computer?

    My mom has an iMac and apparently the internal disk has failed. Starts up with the disk and question mark, and running the Disk Utility can't access or format it.
    I was going to get an external disk for her to use as a startup disk and was wondering if I can set it up from my computer then send it to her to use with hers. I have an iBook G4 and it would be much easier for me to connect the new drive to my computer, install Mac OS X on it, set up accounts, then install updates. I have DSL and she has dialup, so downloading updates on her system literally takes all night.
    I guess I'm wondering if the installer gears the system to work with the hardware it's being run on, or if it doesn't really matter.
    Thanks for any input.
    Dan

    Dan:
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    If your Mom's computer supports Firewire, and meets the minimum system requirements for Tiger or the minimum system requirements for Panther depending on which system you plan to install, it should be fine. In terms of the legality, I am not sure if having the system installed on an external HDD runs afoul of the Software License Agreement which statesThis License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on a single computer at a time. This License does not allow the Apple Software to exist on more than one computer at a time...On the other hand if you Mom has the install disk and just can't get it on the internal HDD, there should be no problem.
    Please don't hesitate to post back with further questions.
    Good luck.

  • Spotify Connect - "Sorry! Can't play this content while connected to another device"

    From Android to PC/Spotify-enabled unit. The Android app refuses to start a song of my choosing. It gives the error message in the title. It will, however, let me start a playlist and Connect it over to the PC. The Next/Prev buttons work, and I can choose any song I like out of the Play Queue. But if I click on any song directly in the playlist, it yields this error. The reverse is not true. Going from PC to PC, or from PC to other device does not give a similar error. The error persists over reboots and arises in every possible configuration and state of the device. Whether my account is already playing something or not has absolutely no impact whatsoever. I'm not trying to play local files either. The error also arises regardless of which unit I am trying to Connect to (I have tried 3 computers and a Spotify-enabled radio, all of which worked just a couple of days ago). The workaround of Connecting back to the "host" unit, changing songs, then setting Connect back to the unit I want to do the playback is pretty ugly...

    Turns out if was a sync issue. Forced resync of the affected device solved the problem.

  • Setting up BD Live when internet connection in another room

    Hello,
    Just got a Sony BD and I want to connect it to BD Live in my living room. However, my computer and internet connection are in the family room. I don't want to send a LAN cable from my router to the back of the BD player. Can anyone give me some suggestion as to how to connect to the internet on my BD player? What adapters I might need. I'm sure it's probably simpler than I thought. Thanks for your help!

    I second Dave's suggestion.
    As an added alternative, you may want to take this opportunity to set up a wireless home network. Especially if you own(or plan to soon buy) a laptop. This will be a more expensive approach overall, but the rewards will greater.
