I have a poor reception on the one end of my house, so going to either find a cheapy access point or see if i can find an old hh3 i have buried in the loft

 

Having never set one up, whats the best way? If i say used a BT HH3, could i cone the SSID and wireless key, change the channel disable dhcp and seamlessly wander round? ........... Or is it best to keep the SSID separate?

 

It a little project for tomorrow if i can dig one out

I have three all on different SSID I think its better kept that way I dont notice my pc swapping I guess I might notice on the Ipad but most of the time I have to tell it to use the wifi anyway

One has to have three, what with the stables and the servants quarters, obviously one has to make a charge, taken out of their wages, we're not a charity one knows.

We cant all have the luxury of Wifi throughout the house straight off the one router!

So you admit charging the household?

When you connect is it like one of those hotspots where each family memeber enters its card details ?

Huh?

Lol

I run 3 routers, 2 with dhcp turned off and not using the wan port, all with same ssid and password and all with fixed but different channels. Oh and static ip addresses outside of the dhcp pool.

Can confirm the above is a well documented and very cost effective solution.

 

EDIT:

 

At home, that is, for anything we sell I use proper APs, ubiquiti are good if you need wireless for any substantial reason.

Here for business I DO share the household Infinity but have a dual WAN router with '3' 3G card and giffgaff on the laptop.

 

Also just started using EE 4G at the new workshop and have to say v.impressed, metal shed yet infinity like speed.
