Four home hubs in one house!
This layout was built and tested by BT
Beta forum contributor John Parker.
All Hubs are running firmware 6.2.6.E at time of writing.
To print this article please use mouse to select page in sections.
Print each section using File/Print then select "print selection" (or
similar) from your printer's options.
The basis of the above setup is that three slave hub are installed in
various parts of a large house where distances are too great for a typical
single Home Hub wi-fi.
The significant requirements are:
Slave hubs to have their DHCP disabled.
Slave hubs to have their own fixed IP address within the master hub's
private pool range.
Each slave is connected by WDS to the master in star formation .
Detailed Procedure
Use the process described in my wireless repeaters article. That article
comes with many
warnings - this is for experimenters only!
Set up all the slaves first using three different IP addresses, and I would
recommend 192.168.1.175 and .176 and .177 then seek
them in turn from the master as described in the main article.

Regarding a query about 2 slaves, one of which should serve a BT Vision
box...

and 2 slave hubs - easy peasy - Regards Paul" (Paul H. by email Jan 2009)
