BT Business Hub connect to BT Home Hub2

Hi please help,
I have recently been given a BT Business Hub and want to bridge it with our existing BT Home Hub 2 to allow us to have wireless access throughout the house. Does anyone know how we can go about this?

There are some option on this menu.
Wireless connection problems
You may be better using the business hub as the main router, and use the HH2 as an additional access point.

I can't connect to wifi at home on business hub ? So cannot update my iPhone 5 Help!

I can't connect to wifi at home on business hub ? So cannot update my iPhone 5 Help!

wifi is wifi, and business hub means very little.. this is area for time capsule discussion.. but the standard measures apply.
1. Set wireless name (SSID) to a name that is short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. Eg your Business Hub call wireless BH. There is no need for names longer than that.
2. Set wireless channel for 2.4ghz to 11 or 6 or 1. Please test in that order. In Eurozone you can add 13 or use it instead of 11. They are the only 3 non-overlapping channels.
3. Use no security to test.. of course this is unsafe long term.. so this is to test for a few minutes only.
The only security that should be used with N wireless is WPA2 TKIP-AES .. it can be named several different things ie in Apple routers it is WPA2 personal. Use a passkey of 10-20 characters.. more if you are paranoid, mix of upper and lower case + numerics.. so pure alphanumeric.
4. If it fails set the mode to G wireless. It is more consistent standard.
If it still fails buy an Apple router and use that as WAP.

Nokia lumia 520 won't connect to bt home hub

Keep getting a message saying there's no connection when I try and connect to my home bt hub I can see the connection and I can type in my pass code which I've checked and double checked is right other phones and tablets are connected fine but I can't get this phone to connect at all I've downloaded the wifi app too and still no joy but I can join bt fon an unsecured wifi but I want to connect to my home network when I'm home
Any ideas?

"Forget" any connection you have for your homehub on the phone and restart the phone. While it's restarting carry out a factory reset of the homehub by pressing a pin into the recess button on the rear for about 20 seconds. When they both restart, scan for networks on the phone and locate your homehub. Click on it and enter the wireless passkey found on the homehub label.

I cant get my macbook (2008 model running 10.6.8) to connect to the home hub 5

to connect to the home hub 5 it connects eventually but is extremely tempermental... does anyone have a fix that doesnt involve messing around with the home hub settings...
for further notes, my dads macbook (same model but running 10.7) connects and works fine, as does the 2 windows desktop computers and laptops we have, my xbox and play station 3 consoles, my iphone 5c, ipad mini, my mums iphone 5, and my dads and sisters samsung galaxy note phones.... even as i type this i can kind of see the problem being with my macbook rather than anything else.... but if someone could give a solution that would be great =]

Howdy there SwipeatronSparks,
If your MacBook Pro still has issues when connecting to your hub, I would recommend the troubleshooting for the symptoms you are seeing in the following article, named:
Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Old wiring cannot connect phone or home hub

We have a very old house with old wiring to the main bt box. We had a working phone line and new home hub connected and all was great until we had new windows fitted and the fitters broke the bt box!
We ordered a new identical box from ebay but now cannot work out how to re-wire it. We have tried many configurations but nothing seems to work. At best we get a very crackly phone line, but the wifi box just wont connect (constant red flashing lights).
As shown in the photo the wires are green, black, white (with blue wire taped on) and orange (with white end tape on).
Can anyone help?

No oval shaped box!
Just the wires coming straight in from outside.
May have to get BT out and pay them to do a whole new rewire
Surely you can insist that your fitters pay for the damage.

HT5569 My new Iphone will not connect to my home wi-fi, unless I am standing beside the router. Why is this and how do I fix it? I have previously connected it to another hub before trying to connect to my home wi-fi. Would this of had an effect?

If you have connected to other wi-fi successfully, then your wi-fi should be working. Try power cycling the router. Disconnect it from power for about 30 seconds and then restart it. After it has come back, try connecting again.

Using a BT Business Hub on a home line.

In total desperation at being let down again and again by BT, who have now given me a broadband speed between 83 kbps on a good day and 15 kbps on a normal day, I'm trying anything to get even close to a 'proper' broadband speed. I was advised to try a business hub as it has a more robust build quality and may improve thngs.
Consequently I bought a BT Business Hub off an eBay seller. It has arrived sealed and unused but I have no password for it - only the wireless key and the Hub password.
As I'm a long-standing BT customer (maybe not for much longer) how can I use this hub with my existing account?
Struggling with less than 50 KB/s… a quarter of what it used to be.

Using Netgear Access Point with Business Hub

Dear all,
I am trying to set up a wireless network and am using a BT Business Hub 3.0 as the router + wireless transmitter in one area and a Netgear WG602 v.4 Access Point in another area of my home.
The Business Hub and the Netgear are connected via wire (Ethernet cable), with the Netgears purpose being to boost/relay a wireless connection to an area of my home which the Business Hub wireless signal cannot reach.
I am however having trouble connecting the two devices. Ideally I would like the Netgear to be configured so that computers connected to the Business Hub seamlessly connect to the Netgear when its signal strength is strongest without the need to enter a separate wireless key.
Hopefully that is clear however if anyone needs anything clarifying please don't hesitate to ask.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
andicd
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks,
But the two units arn't plug and play are they? How do I go about paring the two units? I have accessed the Netgears IP settings, do these need to be changed in order to make it compatible to my network?
I am following this guide - http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/WG602v4_IG_04June07.pdf
I am currently at 2b however am unsure what these settings for my network should be.

I have a spare BT Business Hub 3.0 can I use it as...

Hello all. I have a spare BT business hub 3.0 and I want to use it as repeater or WAP on an upstairs landing. I will use Ethernet cable to connect the two hubs together. My main hub is also a BT business hub 3.0.
i have searched and searched, but I cannot find an easy answer. Is this going to be possible? Any thoughts will be very welcome. Thank you.

There is an option to link two home hubs on this menu. It may work with business hubs.

Improvements using a BT Business Hub 2700HGV

Hello fora!
I have just got my hands on a BT Business Hub 2700HGV which I am trying at the moment.. Safe to say when compared with my Home Hub v2 its a lot better! My line was sync'ing at 4mb on the home hub, but is now managing 5.5mb!!!
Has anyone ever noticed anything like this happening? My line is perfectly stable on the Business Hub and have had no dropouts.. On the Homehub I used to have a couple of dropouts a week.
Is this a sign of a dodgy home hub? or are the Business Hubs a lot better at maintaining a connection across a long(ish) line?

In my experience, the 2700HGV is the best modem/router for hanging on to a long or noisy line and is also best at squeezing the maximum performance out of a good line. I see a similar big improvement on my line versus a HomeHub2.
The slight downside is that you cannot use Hubphones with a 2700HGV as it does not have that capability.
To use BB Talk, you need to hook an ordinary wired or wireless phone into the phone port on the 2700HGV using the supplied phone adaptor and then set up the BB Talk. You can "break out" onto the normal voice line by dialling 5 on the phone connected to the 2700HGV, but, AFAIK, you cannot get normal voice line calls to ring on the phone connected to the 2700HGV like you can with the HomeHub2
WARNING TO OTHERS:
If you buy a 2700HGV off of ebay or elsewhere, make absolutely sure it is NOT one that has been "cracked" for use on non-BT services as it will almost ceratinly not work on BT!

Tecra A10 - Refurbished - unable to get it connected to my home network

I just got this Tecra A10-104 refurbished Laptop...before I take it back I am asking here just in case theres something I have missed as I am unable to get it connected to my home network.
I am running a Belkin Wireless Router that has 2 main PC's directly connected (LAN), and another PC wirelessly connected.
This is my router: http://www.belkin.com/uk/support/article/?lid=enu&pid=F5D8233uk4&aid=9238&scid=0
All PC's working fine and connected.
Now I'm trying to setup this laptop to connect.
I uninstalled the Vista Business and ussed the XP Pro Product Recovery disc that came with the Tecra.
My WiFi card is: Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 5100 (Driver Date: 27/04/2008 - Driver Version: 12.0.0.73)
It sees the network but no matter what i try just won't connect.
What I have done so far (read before suggesting stuff I have already tried):
Reconfigured routers WPS to Shared Key system.
Made sure the wireless adapter has settings set to 20/40hz (auto)
Restarted router, cable modem & laptop several times
Wireless button on side of Laptop is ON.
FN + F8 to enable WIFI (ON) BLUETOOTH (OFF)
Added wireless network to Auto Connect settings along with SSID and passcode end encryption method.
Clicked connect when network appears in network viewer dialogue and retyped passcode.
Not working.
I should add the Laptop has no problems connecting via its Gigabit LAN port.
Anything else I'm missing?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Dual post removed.

UPDATE:
The next thing I tried was to reinstall Vista Business from recovery disc to see if this suffered from the same problem.
The wireless connection worked fine on Vista and, despite the updates that I was being offered, worked without needing to update any drivers.
This made me think...so the issue is probably XP DRIVER related.
What I have done now is backup all the driver updates I was told to download by TEMPRO (BIOS & wireless manager updates included).
I think part of the problem is that TEMPRO only works in Vista (not XP) so you are not informed of any updates that may be required if you downgrade to XP straight after purchase (which is what I did).

Can't even connect to my home network.

Title says it all, bought a 64gig iPad wifi today...little did i know tons of users are having wifi problems...my problem doesnt seem to fit the others though. Most of what i've read people can connect for a bit, and after being in sleep mode then it has problems. I can't even connect to my home network. Works fine with my ipod Touch, laptop, etc. I dont have any form of security set up on my router what so ever. I plan on buying a new router soon (for reasons other than this iPad crap.) I'd really like to see some kind of resolution to this problem before i need to do that though.
I tried all that i could out of the trouble shooting stuff. nothing worked. I even tried setting up a static IP for it. What else can be done? i really dont want to have to return it since its such a nice piece of tech.

Umm... one of the questions that's been asked is whether his iPad will connect anywhere else, If it will, the issues is between the iPad and the particular configuration he has at home. If not, the issue is with the iPad.
Since we don't have an answer to that question yet, your inference that anyone is telling him to "phone ahead to every business or hotel he plans on visiting to request that they replace their "clunky old router" " is unjustified and unhelpful.
Please, continuously blaming every ipad wifi issue on the same router that happily works with every other device is getting old. What standards does iPad support that these clunky old routers do not?
Since, as you've said in another post, you're experienced in the ways of the internet, you will know that it's quite common for new kit to have problems connecting to old kit.

My Mac will no longer connect to my home Internet.

This is frustrating.
My MacBook pro laptop, purchased in September, will no longer connect to my home Internet through wi-fi. It was working fine this morning, but now when I attempt to connect, it asks me for my password. I type in the correct password, hit enter, and it does it's business for thirteen seconds before saying connection failed. It was working literally eight hours ago. My brothers much older MacBook is connecting, my iPhone had connected... I cannot figure out this problem. Does anyone have a solution or a method for me to fix it?

Open network preferences, forget the network, then try to re connect with it! Otherwise, try turning off the modem, waiting 10seconds and truning back on. This may just help to clear the cache.

Today I am unable to connect to my home wifi any others find this

Hi
I have discovered that my wifi connection to my home hub is not working on my iphone today. It can connect to other open networks but not my home hub. Nothing has been changed on the homehub. Any suggestioni.

If I reset the network does this mean I have to re register emails as well. Everythign other than wifi is currently working so I do not want to go back to factory settings at this stage !
