BELKIN N+ ROUTER

[allanmcgee]

I have 'obtained' a Belkin N+ router, as the current BT homehub 2 just has not got any range. This belkin however does not have a phone in socket.
Can I connect it direct to the homehub via the yellow ethernet cable?

Alternatively can anyone suggest a way of extending the range of the Homehub 2.

"Can I connect it direct to the homehub via the yellow ethernet cable?"

You could if you done a few config changes to both routers, you'd need to disable DHCP on the belkin and disable the wireless on the homehub. if you just connected it up without making any changes it wouldn't work.

Although, why don't you contact BT and ask them to send you a homehub3, they'd probably do it for free.

thanks for the info but think I'll explore the last suggestion. Im sure if you can do it in places like hotels I'm sure i can extend the range somehow?
Thanks again
