Using an old BT Hub 4 to repeat the wireless signa...

Hi all - Newbie alert
I've been having an issue with my wireless connection for a good while and have been promised lots of times that upgrading to a newer hub would resolve them. It means I have gone from a Home Hub 3 to a 4 and now have upgraded to Infinity uptp 80mb with a home hub 5. 
I had an engineer out today who advised it would be possible to connect the hub 4 or 3 as an extender by putting some settings into the hub. 
Can anyone help me with which settings i'd need to change and too what?
Very grateful for any help.
Thanks
Kath

You would have to connect them together using an Ethernet cable. The HH4 cannot act as a wireless repeater.
This connection guide may help.

It should work for the HH4.
The other alternatives would be to use one of the BT solutions.

  • I purchased a new Time Capsule (2TB - 2013), and I would like to use my old Time Capsule to extend the range of my wireless network.

    I purchased a new Time Capsule (2TB - 2013), and I would like to use my old Time Capsule to extend the range of my wireless network. I can't get them to communicate. Any ideas?

    You need to use the airport utility on a computer.
    If you use v6 utility it is fairly easy and straight forward.
    The trick is to place the old TC in the same room as the new one.
    Do a full factory reset and then you can just go through the utility to extend wireless network.
    I did one post with all the pictures.

    If you have issues just ask.
    Then you can place the old TC about half way between the new TC and the clients would want to connect.. the half way point is not distance but wireless signal levels.
    You can pick that up by using the wireless diagnostics in a mac laptop and walking around to pick up the signals.
    This is for extend wireless.. if you want roaming network it is entirely different. That means they are plugged together with ethernet.
    Tell us if you mean roaming not wireless extend.

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the other ID.  When you delete the account it will prompt you about what to do with the iCloud data.  If you need to migrate it and merge it with the data in the new account choose Keep on My iDevice; then choose Merge to upload the data and merge it with the new account.  If your data is already in the other account and you don't need to migrate it to the other account, choose Delete from My iDevice.

    Hey JustEhlan,
    Thanks for the question. When it comes to iPhone, very little is stored on the SIM card. Contacts, Photos, etc can be backed up with iTunes or iCloud and then transferred to a new device. For information on how to do so, see this resource:

  • I installed the latest version of Firefox and it opens to google. I would like to use my old Sbcyahoo home page as the default page. How do I change

    I installed the latest version of Firefox. The home page is now a google search box. I would like to use my old sbcyahoo desktop with its icons. I am unable to make the change.

    Oops. I could have been more clear, sorry.
    TOOLS > OPTIONS > GENERAL tab
    Under Start-up at the top of GENERAL, you have an option to type in the url or use the tabs to set your homepage to the current page.
    Go to your chosen site, open OPTIONS and click 'Use current page.'
    Sorry for the shorthand version previously. I blame the cat.

  • My ipod is using an old email account for icloud the email no longer excists so i cant log in, what do i do?

    i am trying to reset my brothers ipod touch to factory settings and to delete all of the data so that we can sell the ipod, but we were originally using an old apple id account that now no longer exists, our email was with a company (optus) that we were using but we are not with optus anymore so that email no longer exists, we are now using gmail for our new apple id and there have been no troubles logging in with our new apple id, although we are trying to log into icloud on the ipod touch so that we can turn off 'find my ipod' so that we can restore the ipod, but its asking for the old apple id password which does not exist anymore, the email also does not exist so i cant reset the password or anything, what do i do? please help i have tried many things but nothing seems to work

    Then you will probably need to contact Apple for assistance resetting the password for the old ID by contacting the Apple account security team:  Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security, or by by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password.  You can also get assistance by email by contacting iTunes store support:https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

  • I am using BT Broadband home hub and want to use my time machine - Can I turn the wireless router off in TM?

    Hi,
    I have BT home hub which is now my main router in the house.  I also have Apple TV which works off the router and a network adapter around the house which is perfect for all my needs.  However, I also have a time machine but haven't used it for a while now as it's internal router overrides my current network which causes problems.
    Being that i'm not very 'technical' I was hoping someone could give me a  'guide for dummies' instruction on how to turn off the wireless signal inside my time capsule without messing up the BT router?
    Many thanks in advance
    Alex

    Thanks guys,
    Sorry, just to clarify, I need to connect the ethernet cable to my home hub and my TC first before i can do this?
    And once i've done this will my stuff be backed up via the cable or wireless?
    I know these are probably very stupid questions but like I said, i'm a div when it comes to this stuff!

  • Hi All! I have an iphone 4s. I want to buy an ipad but torn between wifi or wifi cellular. Can I use for sure, my iphone 4s as the wireless hotspot for my ipad if I get the ipad wifi only? And if yes, is the signal/connection good? Thank you.

    Hi all! I have an iphone 4s. I want to buy an ipad but I'm torn between wifi or wifi+cellular because of the price difference. Can I really use my iphone 4s as the wireless hotspot for my ipad? If yes, is the signal good and fast? Thank you for your response.

    Yes you can if:
    1: Your cellular provider offers a data tethering option.
    2: You have subscribed to this option.
    Speed will be as it is with your existing iPhone.

  • Can I use an old Airport Express to extend the range of a new Airport Express?

    Hi all.  I have an old Airport Express 802.11g (First Gen?) that is starting to fade.  Still works, but not what it used to be.  So I am going to buy a new Airport Express.  I'm not interested in the Airport Extreme.
    Question:  If I use the new Airport Express as my main wireless router, can I plug my old Airport Express into another room as an extender?  In other words, with the old Express and the new Express talk to each other or will a new Express only allow extension with another new Express?
    Thanks!

    Sorry, but the old AirPort Express 802.11 b/g does not have a setting to "Extend a wireless network", so it cannot be used as a extender with the newer AirPort Express if you plan to connect wirelessly.
    If you plan to connect the older Express using a permanent wired Ethernet cable connection, then it could be configured to provide additional wireless signal coverage in that manner.

  • Can I use my old Macbook Pro Ram in the New Macbook Pro (late 2008)

    I have 2, 2 gig DDR2 sticks of ram in my macbook pro. I wanted to know if they would work in the new macbook pro (late 2008)? I know the new one uses DDR3 - What would be the downside of using DDR2 in a DDR3 macbook? Would the graphics cards work to their potential? Thanks!

    No. The DDR2 RAM in your older computer is not the same as the DDR3 RAM used in the new ones. There are significant differences between them not the least of which is pin count.

  • Hub 4 Repeatedly Demands Set-Up of Parental Contro...

    I've recently started using a Hub 4. It works fine, however whenever I, or more usually a visitor, connects a device to it for the first time (typically wirelessly) the user is unable to browse until they have fought their way past some parental control set-up pages.
    When I first started using the Hub 4 I went through the same process - reluctantly - using my one and only machine, and thought that was it, for the Hub, for the remainder of eternity. It is very annoying for people using other devides to have to repeat the process and I was wondering whether other users have had the same problem, whether there is a way of avoiding it in future, and whether the behaviour manifested is the result of a bug, or an ill-considered design feature. Incidentally sometimes I have had to input my BT account user name and password in order to get the parental control screens to go away.
    Thanks in anticipation.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Many thanks for the last posting. As you correctly anticipated the problem was that Smart Setup was turned on, and I have now turned it off.
    I don't think I'd have worked out the solution very easily myself. The existence of this, er, facility isn't obvious, and no manual was provided.
    By the way, the forum applications may not be working correctly: despite checking the 'Email me when someone replies' box no such e-mail arrived :-(.
    Thanks again.
