Mini Wi-Fi Home Hotspot 500 kit

Hi all,
I've just bought one of these kits this afternoon from Currys. Just a quick question, reading the instructions it says that I can use the optional cloning feature, which I have done using just the home hotspot, which is now upstairs and working. Am I correct in thinking that if I use the kit this way, there is no need to connect the broadband extender hard wired to the router downstairs as well?
Cheers
Jay

Well I can only presume it's now acting as a wifi extender as its cloned to the home wifi.
But you will not be able to access any web pages when you are connected to the hotspot. Cloning simply means having the same wireless SSID and password as the router.
Under these conditions its not going to be easy to determine whether you are connected to your BT Home hub, or the hotspot.
I assume that you are a BT Broadband customer?

Mini Wi-Fi Home Hotspot

I have a Mini Wi-Fi Home Hotspot 500 kit.
Can I have an additional Mini Home Hotspot to go with my Broadband Extender? If so, where can I buy one?

You would probably have to use the normal hotspot addon, which has Ethernet connections as well, whether you need them or not.

Powerline adaptor - Hotspot 500 kit compatibility ...

I have a new BT Hotspot 500 kit and am having problems connecting my older Simpler Networks HP200PT64BT passthrough to the new network. The new kit works well but I would like to add another connection to the network by reusing one of my old simpler networks adaptors. I am having no luck. Are these compatible? Am I doing something wrong? Any assistance would be appreciated.
thanks

While all makes and types of powerline adaptors are meant to work together they rarely do. I would also not mix a 200 Mbps adaptor with a 500Mbps adaptor. It will drag your speeds down to the slowest adaptors rate. I would just buy a new 500 adaptor which should work without problem.

BT Hotspot 500 Kit

Later this month, I intend to upgrade from BT Total Broadband 2 to Unlimited BT Infinity 1 and do a self-install.
What I'd like to know is, if my Home Hub 5 is downstairs in the living room (where my laptop is), what sort of speed should I expect to get on my desktop upstairs, if I connect it directly to the Hotspot 500 via a CAT6 ethernet cable?
Also, I have a streaming media player (which supports b/g/n) connected to a television in an upstairs bedroom. If I were to connect this wirelessly to the upstairs hotspot, what sort of speed would I be likely to get?

These are the results I received when I entered my phone number into the estimater:
FTTC Range A (Clean)
Downstream Line Rate (Mbps)
High: 80
Low: 69.3
Upstream Line Rate (Mbps)
High: 20
Low: 19.9
FTTC Range B (Impacted)
Downstream Line Rate (Mbps)
High: 80
Low: 55.9
Upstream Line Rate (Mbps)
High: 20
Low: 17.9

BT Home hotspot 500 and Hub 4

I have had a home hotspot for several months now and it's worked just fine to give me a great signal in my bedroom. I leave it in the same socket and on all the time. Just recently, it's been playing up. All the lights on the sender, receiver and my home hub are normal status. I relinked on the receiver and pressed the button on the sender. It started working again, but an hour later, it had disappeared again. None of my devices can see the hotspot. All the lights are showing green still. I tried resetting it and relinking it. I can see it going through the reboot with its flashing lights, but even when the lights get to steady green, it's not either not detectable by my devices or it has wifi but no connection to the Hub. I've done the relink several times now. Even if I plug an ethernet cable into it, it refuses to play nicely. I'm not using extension sockets, both sender and receiver are plugged directly into sockets. What else can I try? Why has it stopped working after months of just sitting there working just fine?

gillianbc,
First of all you need to find out the what IP Address the HomeHub 4 (HH4) has assigned to the hotspot 500. To do this you need to login to the HH4's web GUI via http://192.168.1.254 (unless you have changed the LAN settings) or go to http://bthomehub.home
Then you need to go to the devices page of the HH4 GUI and look for the Homespot 500 within the table. You may need to look for the Homespot 500's MAC address (This will also be written on the lable on the device itself).
One you have the Homespot's IP Address the HH4 has assigned to it, you then need to go to the IP address in a browser for example http://192.168.1.72 if the IP address is 192.168.1.72.
It will ask for a ADMIN Password (this can be found on the pullout card of the device), once logged in go to the Advanced settings, then click the Network menu option. Here you click set IP Address manually and enter the IP address outside your HH4's DHCP scope. For example 192.168.1.52
Then click apply.

BT Broadband Extender Flex 500 Kit

I have purchased the Flex 500 kit and the Hotspot 500, I don't currently have the WiFi hotspot in use, bu I do have 3 Extenders plugged in. Extender 1 is next to my BT Hub 4 and the BT Fibre to the home modem box, its connected by LAN cable to the H4. Extender 2 is in the same room plugged in to a wall socket but does not have a LAN cable connecting it to the anything yet. Extender 3 is upstairs and is the one I am trying to use. The LAN connection from Extender 3 connects to a laptop (different laptops same issue) and Win7 connects to the H4 but does not connect to the internet, the Win7 Network and Sharing display shows the BT H4 as connected and has an X on the outgoing link to the Internet. If I switch on the laptop WiFi the Win7 network and Sharing display shows everything is fine. So having the luxury of two laptops I am able to prove that at the same time the BT H4 has a working Internet connection if connected by WiFi and does not have a working Internet connection if using the BT Extender LAN connection. All the lights on the Extender plugs are correctly illuminated green. I also have a Laptop connected directly by LAN cable to the H4 and that works fine. By resetiing both Extender plugs, rebooting the Laptop, using Win7 network troubleshooter its sometimes possible to resolve the problem but it always returns it can be hours later, 10 minutes later or when I next power up or unhibernate the laptop. What is also very odd is that I cannot even get to the BT H4 using the URL via the LAN cable when it shows as connected to the H4 and not connected to the internet. Win7 troubleshooter when it doesn't fix the problem (most of the time) replies that it is a DNS resolution issue. Anyone else had this problem.? By reset the BT Extender 'plugs

I am having problems with my Wi-Fi Home Hotspot 500 kit and have to write this on a laptop connected by Wi-Fi to the Home Hub 3 – This is where I am at:
I plugged in both units, and both showed green lights throughout – however, firstly although 2 Android devices and an iPod, which have worked perfectly wirelessly via the Home Hub 3, immediately picked up the BTHomeSpot-6FP none of them would connect despite the Wireless light clearly showing green, nor could I gain internet access on the cabled PC, despite the data light on both units showing green.
A check on BT Hub Manager via this laptop showed on “Home Network – Devices” the two Android devices, the iPod, and the PC all “connected on the “Physical connections” path, but none had Internet connectivity.
I spoke to the Product Support staff on 0808 100 6116 about my problem, and all they did was to put me through to India, where of course they couldn’t assist as my Broadband/Infinity was working perfectly, apart from via my Hot Spot kit!! All they could then offer was the number of the “Wi-Fi Hot Spot Call Centre” but of course this is for commercial BT Wi-Fi Hot Spots and not my kit – the staff member was very helpful as he has the Home Hotspot 500 kit himself, and we ran through some diagnostics, but with no success!
I then looked on the BT Community Forum and noticed this piece about potential problems with 2 wiring loops - https://community.bt.com/t5/Other-Broadband-Queries/BT-Broadband-Extender-Flex-500-Kit/m-p/1225997/h... where it states “you have 2 wiring loops in your home (i.e. two fuse boxes)? If so the adaptors will have problems as they run best on a single loop.” I do have an extension on my property, with a second fuse box, but I never had a problem with my BT Infinity service and connection from this room until now, going right back to the old "dial up" days, and obviously I cannot rewire my property to a single wiring loop!!
I contacted the BT Connected Home Helpdesk, and they offered:
“Please try resetting the Hot Spot 500 Kit as follows. Press and hold the Link button on the Extender Flex for 15 seconds (until all the lights go out momentarily). Push a pin in the reset hole on the Hotspot for 1 second (the Wireless light will go red).Once the Data light on both units has come back on check the connection to your devices again.”
However, although I followed the instructions (again) as I had already tried that I am still having connectivity problems, despite all of the green lights showing on both the extender and the hotspot!
On Thursday the kit worked for about 4 hours from switch on, and then ceased - despite all the green lights being on - so I followed the advice again, and gained access again for several hours. Then it cut off again, and despite green lights, resets and reboots absolutely nothing at all.
When it does work, it appears either as "Network 4" or "Unidentified Network" in the "Network and Sharing Center" on the Ethernet connected PC - can I do anything about this at all, and is a reset the official answer even if it fails with all green lights showing?
Also, a check on Hub Manager, via this laptop, shows both the PC and the hotspot as connected, in "physical connections" when plainly no data passes through!
On Friday I was connected to the internet for about fifteen minutes in the morning, then nothing all day, and it finally came back about 20.00 and was on until I switched off the PC about 22.30, and the Wi-Fi from the hotspot also allowed an iPod to connect – today (Saturday) absolutely no connection at all, despite green lights for everything showing on both units.
The Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit “Network and Sharing Center” page either shows the Hotspot Ethernet cabling as “Network 4” the old name for my network, or “Unidentified Network”, and can show the network as connected to the internet and at the same time not allow any website to open – or when the intermittent signal causes them to stop working the only way back is to restart – which is frustrating as well as time consuming – so if they drop out how can I reconnect service without a restart?!
I e-mailed the BT Connected Home Helpdesk again because of the continued problem, sending them screen prints showing:
All lights on both units are showing green, as they have all day - and the Home Hub clearly shows the hot spot and the Ethernet cabled PC as connected - but the screen print from the Ethernet cabled pc shows No internet Access.
For the Hub Manager to read the pc as "connected" it must be working through my house wiring to obtain this data, and presumably the same applies for it to read the hot spot kit, so data is obviously passing on the reverse path back to the hub for Hub Manager to read it.
But this doesn't explain why I still have no web connectivity - this also still applies to trying to connect Android and Apple products via the hot spot kit, even though the initial data giving BTHomeSpot-6FP appears on their relevant set-up screens
Another problem that I get occasionally is the data light on the Extender Flex being off, despite it being connected straight from the Home Hub, and I would have expected at least that piece working (it is using the new Ethernet cable supplied with the kit).
So far they haven’t replied!!
Sorry about the length of this, but I am totally fed up with the lack of connectivity.
many thanks in anticipation

Mac Mini for the Home

Hello,
This question has been posted many times all over the internet but the responses are not specific to what I need to know. I have a MBP 2010 that is my main workhorse for everything. I was thinking of adding a Mac Mini to my network to host iTunes so that when I take my MBP away from my network I can still stream media from iTunes. I also do not want to worry about having to remebert to turn on my MBP if I decide to stream from iTunes. Basically, I want a dedicated iTunes server.
The price of a Mac Mini is not cheap and I could build a windows platform to handle the iTunes service but I do not want to deal with cross platform issues.
I want to know what other things can I do with the Mac Mini besides have it host my iTunes library. I have a drobo fs and was going to hook that up to it for storage.
I have been reading online that I can access shared folders with the Mac Mini so I can still access the drobo from my MBP. I might want to host my own website later and thought that was a cool feature of Server.
I dont have any other Macs in my ecosystem. Could I access the Mac Mini remotely and share files that way if I want to. I am thinking if I get the Mac Mini I can off load some contnet off my MBP and some tasks to the Mac Mini. Im not sure what else I can use it for. I guess Im asking how can I get the most out of a Mac Mini?
Sorry if this thread is sort of inconsistent with asking for help. I went into the Apple store to take to someone about it and they were fixated on my Drobo thinking that it could do all the work that I wanted to do. They had no idea of what a drobo was.

OS X Server does address iOS devices through Profile Manager. I'm not versed on that because I don't use it.
Yes, with VPN you can share files and Screen sharing remotely when not on your Local Area Network (LAN).
A Mac Mini can be "the brains" if that's what you want. I use my Mac Mini as a home server. I keep files for Macs and PCs on it so those computers don't have to store them on their local computer. I use VPN so I can access files when away from my LAN. I have a USB 3.0 drive I use with the Time Machine service to back up my MBP Retina over the network. I have my iTunes files on the server and use iTunes Home Sharing to share THAT iTunes library to all computers on the network.
I purchased the base model ($599) which I feel is inexpensive for a home server. It has the base RAM of 4GB which works perfectly for me since it's not using CPU/Memory resources like my Retina does which is my day-to-day computer.

How to connect Ipad Mini to external home theater speakers

Hi,
Recently i bought a new ipad mini, now i want to know how can i connect my Ipad Mini to external home theater speakers (Sony). Please let me know what type of hardware and steps i have to use.
Thanks in advance.

You should be able to use a 3.5mm plug cable to connect iPad to the AUX input of your sound system.
Make sure you set the volume to about 5% to 10% on you iPad.

Can I send music from Mac Mini to my home stereo via Bluetooth connection?

I recently purchased a new Intel Mini with built in Bluetooth, and I wondering if I could use the Bluetooth transmitter to send iTunes music from the Mini to my home stereo system? If so, I assume that I would need to purchase a Bluetooth receiver of some sort to connect to the audio input on my stereo? Any ideas on which make/model of receiver would work with the Mini?

Hi.
Unfortunately, you cannot use the bluetooth module to transmit audio to your stereo.
Why? Because Tiger does not support the A2DP bluetooth profile (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile), which is required to broadcast stereo audio over bluetooth.
Apparently, Leopard will support this profile (you'll have to wait for its final specs).
Meanwhile, there are a couple of wireless (wi-fi) options available, including the Apple Express with AirTunes.

Is there a way to access my iTunes library that's stored on my Mac Mini Server at home over the internet while I'm away on business?

Hello.
I've done a bit of searching on Google and have come up empty so far and am looking for your help.
Here's my situation:
I have my iTunes media files stored on my NAS on my home network along with my Mac Mini Server with the iTunes library files stored in my Dropbox folder. While I'm at home I can access all of my files without any problems from either my Mac Mini Server or my Macbook Air; however, I recently moved to San Diego for work and would still like to access the media that's on my NAS at home remotely from my Macbook Air so I can sync my iPhone and watch movies.
Is this even possible? If so, how would I go about setting this up?
Thanks!

The sessionstore.js file only exists while Firefox is closed. During shutdown, Firefox writes out that file based (I think) on recovery.js as of that point. When Firefox starts back up again, it reads sessionstore.js and deletes it. So if Firefox is running, it's normal not to see sessionstore.js. Anyway, sessionstore.js is going to be empty now.
Shadow Explorer might already have done this for you, but just in case...
You could try the previous versions feature. This is harder to get to on Windows 8 and 8.1, but I have read about a roundabout way. I can't test this myself, but here's what you do:
Let's say you have a Windows Explorer window open to your current Firefox profile folder. This is something like (with your username and semi-random profile folder name):
C:\Users\''username''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\blahblah
Click in the address bar and change the C: to
\\localhost\c$
to yield (with your username and semi-random profile folder name)
\\localhost\c$\Users\''username''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\blahblah
Press Enter to reload the folder contents that way.
Now when you right-click recovery.js, recovery.bak, backup.js or sessionstore.js and choose Properties, there should be a Previous Versions tab. Usually the most recent previous version dates back to the last time Windows created a restore point (e.g., system update or possibly scheduled on a more frequent basis).

Connection Error with iPod mini to Bose Home Theater System

When connecting my iPod mini to my Bose Home Theater system, it recognizes that iPod has been connected, but after the "Acquiring Signal" process, it gives me an "iPod connection error. Please re-insert iPod into docking station." I tried several times, but the result is the same.
My iPod mini has been updated with the latest software, and I did a system restore to return everything to factory defaults, but still no luck.
Any suggestions.

Hi. What you need to do is Launch DVD Player. Go to Preferences. Select Disc Setup tab. In Audio Output under Audio in the second part of the menu, select Digital Out-Built-in-Output. Then click OK. See if this works, 'cause mine does.

Using Mac Mini in my home theater set up...please help...

I am looking to purchase a mac mini to incorporate it into my home theater. I recently purchased Apple TV, but after doing research...i'm begining to think a mac mini just has several more options (a few $100 more...understood).
A few questions...
1 - What specs do i need on my mac mini? Which model..and how much memory?
2 - Would love to eliminate dvd collection & rip all movies onto an external HD. Anyone know the best program to use to keep the DVD quality (file size is irrelevant to me -- 1TB of drive space)
3 - is EyeTV the way to go to use the mac as a DVR?
4 - Would i have HD content and surround sound?
Thanks.
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I've been using a Mini (first a PPC and now and Intel) for this same purpose for over a year now. As a result, the AppleTV didn't really impress me. The AppleTV seems like a good idea if you have a large household with a lot of computers and you want to "stream" all these computers' content to one location. But the Mini can do all that plus it can act as a DVD player, a DVR, and a stand-alone computer in your living room when you can't get off the couch. I highly recommend it.
As for specs, if you can afford the highest end Mini that they're selling right now, I'd go down that road. When I upgraded from the PPC to the Intel Mini, the better performance was noticeable. Particularly since all my media files are stored on an external drive.
I just started ripping some of my DVDs. HandBreak works wonders (and it's free!)
With FrontRow and an optical audio cable hooked up to my receiver, I'm able to get 5.1 stereo surround sound. The mini is hooked up to a Samsung LCD HD TV. Looks/sounds amazing.
I've been considering getting EyeTV as well and ditching TiVo. (But my wife is terribly attached to TiVo, so we'll see who wins that one!) Let us know how it works.
Oh, one more plus is that I installed Windows on the Mini via BootCamp. So I have a PC in my house if I need it.
Hope that helps.

N97 mini - blank/unresponsive home screen & nokia ...

I have been having problems with my Nokia N97 mini. It froze yesterday, and I removed and re-installed the battery to restart the phone. When the phone came back on, the email widget had changed from Nokia email to the messaging email option (the one that you get under the messaging icon - it doesn't download in real time and rarely downloads the full message).
It froze again and I had to re-start it again, and this time, the home screen went completely blank. It either shows the little boxes for the various widgets (they're empty), or the screen is completely blank. Occasionally the screensaver (slideshow of images) comes on. The home screen is completely unresponsive, and the only way I can get the phone to function is by pressing the menu button and navigating from there.
I have tried to re-load my nokia email so as to fix the email problem, but whenever I go to the "Email setup" or "Sett. Wizard/Email" options (under applications) the phone freezes.
I should point out that my phone downloaded Nokia Messaging 10.2 today, and the update history section says that the update was successful, but I'm still having serious difficulties.
I have tried restoring factory settings, but that didn't help. I'm seriously considering trying a hard reset of my phone but am unable to back up my information using Nokia Ovi Suite.
Does anyone have any suggestions re how I can start enjoying my beautiful phone again?

I would recommend trying the hard reset. If you can't backup using Ovi Suite you could trying either synching your phone with Ovi Suite or MS outlook or backing up to a memory card. Better still do all the above to be sure.

Mac Mini running my home network

I have a MacMini, a Mac Book Pro, and an iMac. I would like my iTunes, iPhoto, and all archived documents stored on the Mac Mini I also want my mobile devices iPhone and iPad to be synced to the MacMini? On this kind of networking configuration my knowledge is weak so if there good documents out there that can help (preferably with images) or I don’t mind having tech support walk me through the process so I get it right. All suggestions welcome

For sharing iTunes content, you could just set up Home Sharing in iTunes on the
Mini and have it running all the time. Then the Macs could connect via sharing
to the Mini to access the content. All the content would be available and you
could "cherry pick" those items you wish to keep locally on each of the Macs.
As for syncing iDevices, if you have iTunes up and running in the scenario
above, iTunes would just need to be running under the account that the
iDevices have been synced to in the past. You then can set up the
iDevices to WiFi sync to that iTunes.
Go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ and look into sharing to see
if Home Sharing will do what you want.
Go here to see how to set up WiFi syncing:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
I beleive iPhoto has similar capabilities for sharing, but since I don't use
iPhoto I will defer that to someone else.
For documents, just simply set up a folder on the Mini and set up
sharing priveledges for it. You will also need to allow file sharing
in System Preferences.

IPad Mini connected to home network but still not connecting to internet.

Hi. I have a friend staying and she has an iPad mini. while all other Mac devises are connected to our home internet, her one will not. I have set the network details on her mini using the static ip option and get the blue tick beside our network name. However, we are still not connected to the wifi network. All our Mac devises are connected and her husband's iPad and iPhone are working fine. Help

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at
http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button
