Wi Fi booster

Thanks John only just seen this thanks to Harry's heads up.
It says its enabled by default, I've not turned anything off, my superhub just came in the post with a plastic spanner that broke when I tried to use it.
My PC only shows there being one connection?

How do I get to that web page?
I've put in the numbers but all I get is loads of gobledegoop, nothing like it shows in the video?

 

Treat your self to : BT, I have a BT Hub 3 I know they are expensive but you get what you pay for (if your lucky) My husband when he lived in Essex had SKY Oh dear he had a lot of trouble,

 

I've just tried to change it to 5 ghz but it wont let me, doesn't appear to be an option with mine.
I think I canm change the channels if I want to though.

 

I've downloaded something called Innsider as suggested by Virgin it shows that I dont have any conflicting signals on the same channel as me.
I think its just a problem with the signal not penetrating walls very well.

 

So what do I do?
Just use a cable from my hub to this and then use this for my wi fi?

 

I agree with fc, get a better router. Although it says it is N strength it will be a very weak radio component in it. (You don't get anything for free!) I would buy TP Link, as that would match my desktop receiver as that it already 5Ghz. I would also recommend buying a router with external antennae that poke out the back of the router for better signal strength.

Netgear are also very good. I sold wireless routers for four years at Staples, very rarely would we get Netgear routers returned to us.

£50 would be a minimum spend for me on a router although we are forced to use ADSL2+ in Hull, so as fc suggested, buy the TP Link router.

 

I bought a netgear wifi booster for less than £20 today.

It seems to have done the job, so thanks for all the replies.

 

Is this the one you bought Pete ? They are selling for around £20 Ebay and a touch cheaper on Amazon.
I also presume your neighbours think your nuts as you walked the perimeter of your garden testing for signal strength

 

That's the one @HarryS .

Been a bit wet for wandering around the garden today.
Perhaps tomorrow.

 

My mother in law as the same problem changed channels but still rubbish seems to be signal strength that' is very low eg the circuit board antenna, s need upgrading , this allows any strong signal to swamp virgins

 

The internal aerials on a lot of these hubs are terrible
