Title: Multiple wireless adapters on one phone line? Post by: Tractor on January 17, 2007, 09:43:29 PM Can i have more than one wireless network adaptor on my line to give greater coverage in my house?
Ive got a BT Home hub. The reason for this is im putting a log cabin down the garden and my existing wireless router doesnt reach there, so i was going to wire a phone point down there and connect another wireless hub. If that makes any sense. Title: Re: Multiple wireless adapters on one phone line? Post by: FlyingPig on January 17, 2007, 09:59:10 PM I think you can put a booster/repeater station in
Although that will be soon confirmed or denied. Title: Re: Multiple wireless adapters on one phone line? Post by: Bongo on January 17, 2007, 10:09:25 PM That's possible.
You couldn't have 2 seperate connections to the internet operating at the same time. If you were going to run a phone cable to the cabin you could just run some network cable - far easier.

Haven't used one myself but have used lots of netgear stuff with no probs BB Title: Re: Multiple wireless adapters on one phone line?

Bongo, do you mean run a cable from the router to the cabin and then plug the wireless access point into the cable? Title: Re: Multiple wireless adapters on one phone line?

Bongo, do you mean run a cable from the router to the cabin and then plug the wireless access point into the cable? If thats right that will be perfect, cheers all.

Bongo, do you mean run a cable from the router to the cabin and then plug the wireless access point into the cable? Yes, exactly Not using repeater mode as I doubt there's a suitable place to plonk the access point to get signal from the router and give it to the cabin. I'm old fashioned though, I like wires... they work! Title: Re: Multiple wireless adapters on one phone line?
