Bt home hub 3 and home hub 2

Ok new to this what I trying to do is get a better wifi signal down stairs I have tried a wireless extender kit.
these work ok but they don't have the same name as my bt hh3 (I was told they would have once plugged in) is they a way I can have these so these are working with the same name and ip addrees as my hh3 as if I want to use these I have to connect to these every time I want to use my Internet downstairs which is a pain in the butt I also have my old hh2 is they a way I could use this along side my hh3 wireless as I have found that these bt hubs seems to have a better range then the tp link extenders if there is a way to use the hh2 with the hh3 on the same address and same name as hh3 would be great if this can be done or would I have to joine them up by the eithernet cable which I don't really want to be having a cable running across the stairs.

This is the option you need on the menu, using a HH3a as the master.
If you use a version b, then you will not be able to roam between the two wireless networks.
Use a spare BT Home Hub as a wired wireless access point (HH1, 1.5, 2.0 and HH3 version a only)

I can't print wirelessly using Airport Express. I have my HP printer connected to a USB hub, and the hub to the Airport Express, but when I select the HP from the printer list, my MacBook says the printer is "off-line" - even when it is not.

I have my HP printer connected to a USB hub, and the hub to the Airport Express, but when I select the HP from the printer list, my MacBook says the printer is "off-line" - even when it is not. I've tried several USB connectors, and several different ports on my USB hub; same result. I need to have the HP connected to the hub 'cause from there it's connected to our desktop Mac.

Home Network and Home Group with HH3

Can anybody help me with this. My families various computers (win 7 and apple) and access the internet OK but none can see the other on either the Network or on the HomeGroup. All have same workgroup name. The HH3 manager can see all the computers and their mac addresses but for some reason is not allowing them to communicate together. BT Broadband Help shows the wired computers and the pc that is running the help but none of the other wireless pcs.
Next step it to disconnect the HH3 box and plug in a DLink box I have but I would rather get the HH3 to work since I am paying for it. BT say that they do not support home networking!

If any are on wireless, I would check the firewalls to ensure they are not showing the wireless as a public network. I use Kaspersky and it always seems to set the wireless as public and therefore limits access/use etc.

Hi Raj,
Please check the following things once.
1. Check the vendor pyt method in XK03. Vendor should not be blocked at any level.
2. Also check - FBZP - Pyt methods under country level - what are the mandatory parameters ? - Street, P.O. BOX or box pst code or bank acc.no, swift code, IBAN No.- check those parameters are maintained or not? If no, pls maintain the same.
3. Doc currency - You have to maintain the INR currency in invoice. Also maintain the entry for INR currency in FBZP - Bank determination- ranking order & bank accounts. Else not psbl to make payment in foreign currency.
I hope it clears else revert us with your issue.
Thanks & Regards,

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!

Home Hub and RJ45? not working correctly

Recently i had a few problems with the Wireless on the Home Hub 3, so i switched and used an RJ45 and boy my speeds shot from 30-40mbs to 77mbs i was all happy, then the upload part of the speed test came along and it spent forever trying to do an upload test then came back error. I refreshed the page and no internet or webpage would load, so i trouble shoot the network and it works again so i try again and the same thing happens any time i try to upload my connection drops from the hub and i have to troubleshoot to fix the problem, i heard somewere that the homehub is funny with an RJ45 =/ i am not wanting to go back to wireless scince the i get faster on a RJ45 is their a way to fix this Issue ?

Hi
All 5 PCs, the vision box & printer here are hard wired using Cat5 cable & RJ45 connectors and in 6 years we have never had a problem.
I make my own cables and they are a bit fiddley, so despite looking fine the pins don't always connect properly and you get all sorts of issues especially if the cable moves.
My recommendation would be that you firstly change the cable, preferably to one that you know works properly.

Location of Openreach modem and Home Hub (BT Infin...

In my previous property I asked the BT engineer to locate the modem/HH in an upstairs study and this was no problem, no extra cabling required (master socket was in kitchen) all extension sockets still work fine. I moved home and had BT Infinity 2 installed, phone line enabled same day. The house was built in 2007 so has extensions in all the rooms. Looks like the master socket is in the cupboard under the stairs. Although the previous occupier obviously had the openreach modem and home hub located in the lounge, as the mounting screws etc were still there. But here none of the extensions work, the engineer said this is a side effect of moving the master socket. But why was this possible in my previous house?
The engineer installed with the existing screws etc and left it all in the lounge and still none of the extensions work. I'd like my extensions working and the modem/hub located in my upstairs office, how do I arrange for this?

BT Home Hub and Airport Express

Although the BT Home Hub is 'Mac' compatible, there is still little information on using it with Airport networks. I hope that the following makes sense (I am no expert) and is useful?
Connect the Airport Express via Ethernet cable to the Ethernet 1 port of the Home Hub
Open Airport Admin Utility
Airport Tab>Base Station>enter a base station name
Airport Tab>Airport Network>Wireless Mode>Create a Wireles Network(Home Router)
Airport Tab>Airport Network>Name>enter a network name
Airport Tab>Airport Network>Wireless Security>enter your preferred security level and ensure it matches the Home Hub security level
Airport Tab>Airport Network>Channel>choose the same channel as your hub, do not use automatic
Airport Tab>Airport Network>Create a closed network>leave this unchecked
Airport Tab>Airport Network>Mode>if you have a mix of 11b and 11g cards leave the mode at 892.11b/g Compatible
Airport Tab>Airport Network>Wireless Options>leave these alone if you want to avoid problems
Internet Tab>Connect Using>Airport (WDS)
Internet Tab>Configure WDS Host>MAC Address>enter the MAC address of the Home Hub(i.e the primary WDS base station
Internet Tab>Configure WDS Host>MAC Address>tick the box Also allow wireless client computers
Internet Tab>Configure WDS Host>Configure>Using DHCP>the IP address will be assigned in the range 192.168.1.6*and the Subnet mask should read 255.255.255.0 and Router address should be 192.168.1.254
Network Tab>Uncheck Distribute IP addresses
WDS Tab>Enable this base station as a WDS>check this box>from the drop down list choose>remote base station
WDS Tab>Allow wireless clients on this base station>check this box
WDS Tab>Main AirPort ID> enter the MAC address of the Home Hub or use Select to scan for the Home Hub wireless network and you should pick up the MAC address etc automatically
Click to Update these settings.
Go to bthomehub.home and ensure that you have WDS dis-ABLED in the settings. You will have to log on as admin (password is defaulted to ‘admin’, but it is worth changing it!).
To do this after logging on as admin go to>Home Network>Interfaces>WLAN At this point you should be presented with Wireless Access Point click on Configure (top right) Scroll down the screen that follows and click Configure WDS and you will be presented with the Wireless screen. Click Scan for wireless access points. The BT Home hub will scan for available networks and once it has found these you should click apply but DO NOT ENABLE WDS! Click back from this screen to Home Network and you should see your wireless Mac(s) and their various connections
Best wishes and hope this works for you! My iMac/Mac Mini and PowerMac G4 now connect perfectly through the Airport Express and I have extra Extreme and Dual Ethernet Airports for printer and Windows file sharing. I am running OS X 10.4;10.3 and 10.2 variously without seeming conflict. Airport firmware is 6.3

I have now changed settings as you advised from WDS to Ethernet for the Express>BT Home Hub connection.
I know from previous posting that the ABS Snow does not support WDS.
Hers is what I want to achieve, however so far, with the exception of the Mac Mini (untested/unconfigured for use with Extreme)it all works?:-
Power PC 400 AGP OS 10.2.8>Airport Extreme PCI Card>Wirelessly connect via Express(connected via Ethernet to BT Home Hub)
Mac Mini 1.4 OS 10.3.6>Ethernet>ABS Extreme>Wirelessly connect via Express (connected via Ethernet to BT Home Hub)
iMac G4 Flat panel OS 10.4>Airport Original Card>Wirelessly connect via Express (connected via Ethernet to BT Home Hub)
Samsung PC Windows XP(SP2)>802.11G Card>Wirelessly connect via Express (connected via Ethernet to BT Home Hub)
All four of the above connect to the ABS Snow on a separate wireless network for file sharing and printing.(I set this up via help/info from the discussion forum and given it works without hiccup have left it as it is!)
Hope this helps and any further assistance/advice is appreciated-I am keen to get it right since the BT Home Hub is relatively new-UK based Home Hub forums http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=77

Gigabit switch and home hub

Hi,
Can anyone with a similar setup let me know if this will work, I'm due to have BT installed next month and due to where the sockets are located in my house compared to the current Virgin setup I'm going to have to do a bit of re-wiring so was wondering if anyone knows if this will work.
Devices on my home network are in two main locations and I'm trying to minimise the number of long cable runs.
Could I have in one location:
- The home hub and modem
- Connected via cat5 a linux server to the home hub
In a second location I have
- things like TV, media streaming box etc
Would it be possible to run a cat5 cable to a switch like this http://www.netgear.co.uk/business/products/switches/unmanaged-desktop-switches/gs108.aspx from the home hub
And would devices on the switch be able to see my linux box? My thinking is that the swich will autosense an uplink to the hub and let the hub provide things like dhcp.
Hopeing its not that mad a setup and someone has something similar!

There is no reason why this should not work but there are a few things to look out for:
1. You will need a crossover cable between the hub and the switch unless either device supports auto MDIX (the ability to detect what is on the other end of the cable and switch to either crossover or straight as required).
2. Speed and duplex issues are often an issue in mixed vendor environments. Setting everything to "auto" on both ends is not always the best bet as autonegotiation often fails. Best to "hard set" both ends to 1000 full duplex if possible.
As for the DHCP bit, assuming the stuff above is setup correctly then DHCP should work fine and your other devices should be able to see your linux server assuming you have setup the IP address correctly.

BT Infinity Home Hub and and BT DECNET digital cor...

I have just had BT infinity installed last week. All appears to be well on the broadband front but not so with the telephony side. The engineer installed the master socket in the study where both the phone line and data line are connected onto the outside wall and directly out to the external cable pair connected to the pole, so no complicated wiring.
I have a BT Diverse 6350 corded (Base Station) and cordless handset (DECT) telephone. The base station is situated in the same location as the Home Hub and the cordless phone is situated downstairs.
i) Before BT Infinity was installed incoming and outgoing calls to DECT phone OK
ii) After BT Infinity installed incoming calls received to DECT phone and answered OK but the originating end (caller) cannot hear speech . The called person can hear speech OK. Outgoing calls from the cordless handset appear to be working .
I suspect this may have something to do with the channel frequency of the Home Hub3 and the BT DECT phone but I cannot be seure. Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue would be most welcome.
Many Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

First thing that came to mind.... but am sure isn't the problem however have you made sure the MUTE isn't on on the Dect phone?
Edit ...If mute was on all the time then the outgoing calls wouldn't work as well so it can't be that.
If you are wondering about the HH3 "something to do with the channel frequency of the Home Hub3"
You can TURN OFF the HH3 wireless signal and then try things.
Click on http://bthomehub.home/
Then settings and enter your password.
Then advanced settings.... continue to advanced settings.
Then Wireless tab.
Tick the NO for wireless Enable and at the bottom right of the page click apply.
If that cures it you can then reinstate the wireless and using channel selection move it from Automatic onto a selected channel.
INNSIDER is useful to identify a clear channel.

Airport Express with BT Home Hub and Xbox 360

Hi,
I know this is kind of an out there question, but im looking into buying an airport express and i was wondering if there was a way that the Airport express could connect to my existing wireless network (BT Home Hub) and share that internet connection over ethernet to my xbox 360.
My xbox is in another room and i cannot connect it to the router. I have been reading about WDS and client mode but it all goes over my head. can anyone explain if this is possible with the airport express even though i dont have an apple base station?
Im also wondering if Airtunes would work for my speaker system. Any help is appreciated!

Welcome to the discussions!
"i was wondering if there was a way that the Airport express could connect to my existing wireless network (BT Home Hub) and share that internet connection over ethernet to my xbox 360."
Possibly. You would need to check to see if the BT Home Hub was compatible with what is called ProxySTA. Otherwise, the ethernet port on the Express will not function.
WDS would not be compatible with your BT. Even if it were, the wireless network bandwidth would be reduced by 50%. Not what you want for gaming.
Assuming your BT is a router with ethernet ports, you absolute best connection for any application, but especially gaming is an ethernet cable.
If this is not feasible, look at ethernet power line adapters. One adapter plugs into the AC socket at the router end and the other plugs into an AC socket near the 360. The adapters use the AC wiring in your home to transport the ethernet signal. This is almost as good as a straight ethernet cable and far better than wireless for gaming.
The Express would be able to join the wireless network of the BT router for use with AirTunes.

BT Home Hub and Airport Express Issues

Hello all
I am having major issues setting up my airport express to my home hub and also setting up Time Capsule to join my wireless network...
I really need a step by step guide if possible.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks
PC

Welcome to the discussions!
You told us that you were having "major issues", but did not tell us specifically how you are trying to configure the AirPort Express, or what service you want it to perfrom on your Home Hub network, so providing a step by step guide is not possible without a bit more information.
Can you clarify on this, please?
In regards to configuring your Time Capsule to "join" the Home Hub wireless network, do you understand that the ethernet ports on the Time Capsule are not enabled in this type of configuration, so you will not have the option to back up large files or make initial backups using an ethernet connection?
In order for the Time Capsule to "join" the wireless network provided by the Home Hub router, you willl need to know (or be able to locate) the exact type of wireless security settings that your Home Hub is using. The Time Capsule must be provided with this information in order for it to "join" the wireless network successfully.
Can you provide this information, or if you do not know, check with your service provider to obtain this information? We cannot proceed with the configuration until we have this information.
If you are able to locate the Time Capule near your Home Hub and establish a permanent ethernet connection between the Home Hub and Time Capsule, you will be able to backup using the Home Hub wireless network and also have the option to backup using ethernet if you wish. In addition, this type of installation is much simpler to configure (and more reliable in operation in my experience) and we would not need to know the type of wireless security that the Home Hub uses if you choose this setup option.
Please post back when you have an opportunity.

I have recently changed my bt home hub and now my airport express won't connect to it? Any suggestions?

I have recently changed my bt home hub and now my airport express won't connect to it? Any suggestions?

Anytime you change out a modem or modem router like the HomeHub, the AirPort Express needs to be reset back to factory default settings and then set up again.
The reason for this is that the Express is retaining some or all of the settings to connect to your "old" modem or hub, so it will not work correctly with a new device unless you start over again from factory default settings on the Express.
Power up the Express for a few minutes
Hold in the reset button on the side of the Exprsss for 8-10 seconds, then release and allow a full minute for the Express to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
Now, set up the Express again, like you did originally with the "old" modem or hub that you had previously.

How do I add actual email accounts to home screen-not just HUB?

How do I add actual email accounts to home screen-not just HUB? Can anyone give me the steps?

Essentially the Hub area is a home screen dedicated to your communication. Tap on the lower left icon and each of your messaging sections has its own dedicated 'icon.' As JC mentioned, it is new and it may take a while to get used to it.. but once you do it really is a great way to deal with the unified messaging idea and it also allows you to break down what you are looking at very quickly. Just need to learn a few new tricks. I've been on the Z for just over 3 months now and I could never go back...

Best way to organize photos and home video

Looking for the optimum way to organize photos and home videos. Goal is to have all devices have equal access to all the media. Just as important is for this to be as easy as possible to maintain and use.
Have an iMac with iTunes and iPhoto
Have multiple iOS devices with different family members each of whom take photos and videos with their devices
Have multiple Apple TVs
iMac will be the hub with wifi synching
Right now about 30,000 files probably 1000 are videos (and growing)
I don't do any editing of photos or videos
Current set up is through iPhoto. I am importing all images not using the reference option. This worked fine until we started taking more videos which made for a large 200gb iPhoto library which barely loads even with 16gb ram.
I want to use iPhoto not iTunes because I keep everything organized by event, that includes photos and videos. And I don't want 2 separate organizing options to keep track of.
Most of my library is also available outside of iPhoto, I have a back up so I could use the reference feature of iPhoto which would mean a smaller library. However we use photostream on all iOS devices which has the feature that automatically imports into iPhoto. So I don't have to worry about those photos - it's easy. But then i would have some media copied into the library and some referenced. This doesn't work for videos so I will need to copy them.
I have a copy of iPhoto library manager software which could solve the excessive library size. That's cumbersome because I have to sync the correct library with the iOS devices and also make sure photostream is In the right library. I have only used this software a little so I could be wrong about this solution.
I appreciate any ideas that might work. Of course let me know if I am missing something, I am sure I am.
Would Aperture be a better solution? Some other software?

1 - do not change to a referenced library with iPhoto - it has many problems and should not be done - if you switch to Aperture it is ok - Aperture handles referenced libraries fine
2 - iPhoto does not load your entire library and while 200 GB is large it is not giant and is not causing you an problems - if you ave problems please describe them and will try to help with thme -it is not libary size - My library is 263 GB and I have 8GB of RAM and there are no issues
3 - not sure what your constraints are but for me having all IOS devices logged into iCoud using the same Apple ID work best - the downside is that we all see the same things - which is our desire and I think yours

Any ideas on my faulty Hub and lights...?

Yesterday morning...all was well, working from home...
Yesterday afternoon..no connectivity...hmm, checked the hub and only the power and wireless lights were illumninated blue...
So went through the old power on/off etc..same thing, checked a spare ADSL filter I had..still no joy/reset to defaults etc...after another reboot, power light was orange and every other light flashing purple intermittently!
After 20 odd mins on hold, finally got through to a pleasant chap who diagnosed the hub has being faulty...and another one will be delivered to my work address on Tuesday at the latest...
This morning, turned the hub on, power and wireless are blue again, everything else not illuminated..
Anyone has the same issue as this? The hub officially kerplunk?
Never thought i'd say it either, in a million years, but thank god for my neighbours Talk Talk BB...or else I'd have to get into the office to do 12 hours on call, of which I have only actually worked 30 mins since 7am!
Cheers
JP

Just wondered if anyone else had experienced similar issues...especially the disco lights!
Certain Flashing LED patterns mean the device has entered an error state of some kind, sometimes it is possible to tell (if you have a manual of technical data) what the error is.
Check that your ADSL is still functioning properly with a known good router if you can (before you attach the replacement) , as suggested this looks like a faulty router.
