Humax and iplayer wireless set up
Hi
I have a bt home hub that is too far away from my new Humax foxsat hdr box to run an cable. I have a spare netgear access point and a spare wireless router can I use either of them to conect the foxsat wirelessly to my broadband to pick up BBC iplayer. regards Johny_mcc |

should be able to, as i'm hoping to do exactly the same thing!
but i need to look into it a bit more, but in theory you should be able to use your spare router as a wireless bridge type thing. |

yes you can - I'm using an old 3Com access point. The alternative is to use a pair of Homeplug devices. I've done that too. No problem with either method.

Hi
Thanks for the quick response, in the short term I managed to move my BT Home hum and make a cabled connection BBC iplayer working fine. Will I always have to use the red button or will I eventually just have the iPlayer as a chanel. I will try using the spare access point Johny_mcc |

For a remote wireless router to work ( in effect reverse mode) , you need to make sure the wireless channel number used is the same for both routers. I've set this up to achieve the exact scenario as requested.
