Access Points


9651

Recommended Posts

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

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.

So you admit charging the household?

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

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.

The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct!

(Except when I'm wrong)(which I'm not)

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.

So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands

I had a problem with wifi spoke to an IT guy and he suggested turn the wifi on the router off and get a Edimax access point, works great all round the house and even 200 yrds up the road. 

 

Used the same on jobs with flat panel aerials from building to building

 

Apparently edimax are the biggest makers of wifi stuff.
