Will the time capsule work the bt home hub 3

Will my time capsule work with the bt home hub 3

Apple products work in a huddle with themselves.. all others are excluded so no you cannot wireless repeat if that is what you mean.
In bridge though the TC can work as a WAP.. as can every wireless router ever made. You must connect to the home hub by ethernet. Then set the wireless manually and use the same network name, ie SSID, and security settings and password.. but you need to use a different wireless channel. You can then roam with any wireless devices..and they should connect to the strongest signal. In reality it doesn't work 100% and I think it is easier to use a different SSID and know what you are connecting too, but that is up to you.

Can Airport extreme be used as a repeater from the BT home hub

can Airport extreme be used as a repeater from the BT home hub because my laptop will be very far away and i currently get a rubbish signal on my Windows pc so when i upgrade to the mac pro i am wonderimg if i could use the airport extreme as a repeater to strenthen my already rubbish signal??

You might want to check with BT to see if they have a device to do what you want.
Using wireless only, the AirPort Extreme will only "extend" or "repeat" the wireless signal if it has been produced by another Apple router. It is not compatible with routers from other suppliers for this purpose.

Images of the BT Home Hub 4

Does anyone have any REAL pictures of the BT Home Hub 4? Not the ones in the ads and the pictures. (They look kinda photoshopped especially with the light) it would be cool to see what it would be like in action!

Hi Dean235,
Thanks for posting. Jonew has posted a short youtube clip of the hub 4 here .

What is going on with the Iphone4 home button. I see lots of people having issues, but not resolution. I am running 4.2, but based on what I have read, 4.3 does not help. Apple has to do something about this, as it is affecting lots of people.

What is going on with the Iphone4 home button locking up? I see lots of people having issues with the button becoming unresponsive, but no resolution.

No they do not and no it is not affecting a large portion of the user community.
If it is an actual hardware issue, the only fix is to repair or replace the hardware.
If it is a software issue, restoring as new will fix it.

I installed a game and when i start mozilla i am unable to start with the my home web page how can i fix

i installed a game and when i start mozilla i am unable to start with the my home web page. i set my home page in options tools. when i open Mozilla it opens in another page that i do not want

Some add-on or other software included with the "game" you installed might have "hijacked" your Firefox home page. I take it you tried resetting your home page? Ref: [[How to set the home page]]

Other equipment has been removed (Couple of old laptops, 1 old desktop and a couple phones, the wired TV has DLNA and internet TV features. Both games consoles are connected to the wired TV.
The homeplug next to the TV/ bt vision box has a netgear network switch connect so the ps3, xbox, bt vision, and sony internet TV can all connect to the net with out unplugging ethernets all the time.
I was thinking of uploading pictures, but it will not show the connections.
Let me know what you all think, I made the picture look like the set up diagrams in manuals..
But its still pretty bad lol
Netgear Setup

lol, my sister is set on it.
Shes gone through 4 blackberry's, orange replace them for free.
They break so easily, they have many software issues.
The TV's were both at decent prices, no too bothered on a massive TV.
I will be buying a 55 or 60 inch sometime next year but for the time being 32 is enough.
The house will be getting refurbed next year some time, so I will deal with all that then.
I dont want to pay for the Iphone 4 £130 or so and then £35 per month for the contract, but my sister wants to get the phone.
Since I pay for the contract shes gonna give me the money to buy the phone.
Stupid price fixing for Iphones, should be illegal and yet trading standards turn a blind eye.

BT Broadband with non BT Home Hub

As of yesterday, or maybe even the night before, our broadband (and BT vision) which has been working perfectly for months, no longer works with a Thomson TG585 router. I have a friend with the same setup and they also now have the same problem. Using the normal BT home hub, works fine, so I know there is nothing wrong with the connection itself.
Have BT done anything to their network to stop non BT routers connecting to it? Or added passwords etc to the ADSL authentication as there has never needed to be one.
I know the username in the ADSL should be set to [email protected] with a blank password, and the router gets an IP address, but there is no connection going through. Pinging google DNS 8.8.8.8 doesn't work either, so I know it isn't a DNS issue.

Bt website say on this issue"............Sorry, we can't provide support for equipment you've bought from other suppliers. If you are having problems with equipment purchased from another supplier, please consult the manual or user guide supplied with the equipment or contact the vendor for advice. Hints on configuring a non-BT router You need to ensure that your router is configured to work on ADSL lines in the UK. Within your router's settings you will need to input a telephone number or VPI/VCI standard. In both cases you should check that this is set to 0,38. Most ADSL routers supplied for sale in the UK will be pre-set to this. You also require your BT Broadband username. This was given to you at the time you orderd broadband and is usually made up of [email protected] where 'your' equals your first name and 'name' equals your surname, for example [email protected] BT Broadband does not require that you enter a password to connect, but some routers won't connect to the Internet without a password. If this is the case, enter the word BT....... I have similar issue to solve tomorrow as I just bought a draytek 2710 to replace my hh3. Bob

Anyone else had problems with range on Home Hub 2?

I've just received a Home Hub 2.0 today in order to connect BT Vision and was excited to connect it and get my Vision box set up. Having had a Voyager 2091 router before, I disconnected this and proceeded to follow the instructions to the letter to set up the Home Hub. After an hour of failed attempts to connect wirelessly to my laptop, I eventually managed to connect and moved downstairs to my usual location in order to finish preparations to set up everything needed. Looking at a cross-section of our house, it looks like a square divided into four quarters, with the room in which the router is located (the spare room) in the upper left and the room I normally work in (the living room) in the lower right.
I usually sit quite close to the wall of the living room closest to the spare room and the router has always been located near the doorway of the spare room, allowing the least amount of distance between my laptop and the router. When setting up the Home Hub, I made sure that everything was in the same locations as usual. However, on moving downstairs, by the time I was halfway downstairs, I had lost the connection to the Hub, and by the time I had reached my usual spot, it couldn't even find the Hub when I tried to reconnect. Bearing in mind that I have always had (and indeed currently have at the moment, from the same spot as I just mentioned) an 'excellent' connection to the net using my router, I can only assume the problem is with the broadcasting range of the Hub. Has anyone else had the same problem, and if so, can you recommend how I can rectify it? I've tried all the directions I can find but to no avail.

HomeHubs are notoriously variable in their performance. Some of this may be due to the antennae, which in some models are stuck to the case with double-sided sticky-tape, falling off and not being in the correct orientation to give the best range.
I looked at this in some detail last year here. Most HomeHub 1.0s and 1.5s I looked at then had very poor range when compared to other wireless G routers.
Since then, HomeHub 2.0As have become a little more common and they show similar variation to the earlier models and some have an even shorter range. If you get a good one, the range isn't bad. If you are unlucky enough to have, or get, a bad one - complain.

The BT Home Hub

Hi,
I have been looking at the Unlimited Broadband and Calls offer on BT, which comes with the Home Hub.
The query is that do I need to use the Home Hub provided for this contract? or does the D-Link and the Solwise Sar-600e do the same job that the Home Hub would usually do? Also, what exactly does the Home Hub do?
Thanks in advance for your time
~Iamnoone
Solved!

No you don't have to use the Home Hub. You can use any adsl2+ enabled router you like.

Problems with BT infinity Home hub and Apple TV

I've just changed over from Sky Broadband to BT Infinity. Broadband speed is about 37 which is fine and when using the Apple TV I have no problems connecting to the Internet for youtube or downloading films but I cannot access my music or films on my Computer in iTunes. It doesn't show up at all under Computer on the Apple TV. Homesharing is turned on and all worked perfectly OK before when using the Sky Router.
Are there some settings which I need to put in the home hub to allow access to my computer and/or iTunes ?

I has a similar problem recently with my Apple TV not picking up changes to my network until I had reset it by using the remote and pressing "menu" and "down" for 6 seconds described here.

Is it worth upgrading the BT home hub to the lates...

i have a bt version 1.5 home hub is there any advantage to going to the latest HUB and if so how do you go about geting one?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

At the risk of repeating myself, don't bother to upgrade to the latest HH unless you can get it for free (and even then its not always a good move).
Go to that well-know internet sales site and get yourself a 2-Wire 2700HGV which is the hub issued to Business users on BT. Its very stable, hangs on to a long line very well, and you can use your BBVoice connection (albeit not with a BT HubPhone).
Just make sure that you get one that has not been "cracked" for use on non-BT services as it will not work on BT.

Time capsule with a BT home hub

hello
i have a time capsule that connects to by BT home hub 2 wireless and while doing a backup it drops the connection to the hub and the router has to be reset- can anyone help me with this problem
cheers steve

I had an initial rejection message like you connecting to BT Hub, Mark.
I used the setup to add to my existing network (BT Hub) and the amber light on the front of the capsule just kept flashing, looking for a network. This was done wirelessly
So, I reset the capsule to factory settings by pressing the reset button on the back for 5 seconds amber flashes fast. I then restarted my computer and restarted the BT Hub
I then ran airport utility again. (No ethernet cable is connected, but running wirelessly) When the Time capsule appears in the left sidebar of airport utility and the IP address is picked up in the main window, I then clicked on continue. After naming the capsule and giving it a password, I then clicked on continue. When I got to the next window, I choose the top one 'I have a wireless network and want to add Time Capsule or replace an existing device on my network'
I then clicked continue and in the next window I chose the second option 'I want Time capsule to wirelessly join my current network'
In the next following window, your BT Hb will show in the first field, click on wireless security (I chose (WEP 40 BIT preset) and enter your BT Hub wireless key and repeat it into the next field.
Clicking next will give a summary of what the settings will be updated too.
When the final window appears, close it and wait for the steady green light appears at the frot of the capsule. Be patient and it will work.
If you go by the settings similar to mine you should be good to go.

Xbox One and xbox 360 on the same Home Hub 4

I currently have an xbox one and 360 directly connected to a Home Hub 4 (with different internal static IP addresses allocated to the xbox units). I want to configure port forwarding on the Hub to enable access to xbox live and other gaming services.
I have created the game profiles one the hub and can allocate to one of the devices, but when I try to allocate (either the same or another profile), I get a conflict error.
I understand why this is happening and was wondering if there was a simple way to resolve this (without giving both xboxs the same IP address, and only having one online at any given time)?
Many thanks
Ian

Hi there,
If you are using UPnP, then you will need to use what's known as "Port Range Triggering".
You can't use "Port Range Forwarding" as the limitation of this is that it expects the ports to be directed to one internal IP address.
The ports you need to forward are as follows:
53, 88, 80 and 3074.
Disable DMZ (should be disabled by default on the Home Hub 4, but double-check) and also disable "Port Range Forwarding", if this option is available.
Lastly, you will need to set your MTU to 1364 to avoid lag issues.
*DISCLAIMER: This is generic advice, sourced from the internet, so I cannot be held responsible for it's accuracy, as I don't use a Home Hub router*
EDIT: Here's a Youtube link that explains the process visually. Although the user here doesn't use a Home Hub, essentially the process is the same.
