[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 330653, member: 6969"] The bit that got me "stuck" with the BT HH was wireless access BETWEEN PC's in the house. Desktop PC, no built in wifi Laptop PC built in wifi Desktop hard wired to router. Desctop can see and access the wireless printer and wireless laptop and use the printer and swap files with the laptop. Now substitute the HH for the old router. Both PC's still see and access the internet, but the desktop PC could no longer see the wireless printer or the laptop. There was no reason why it should not work but I spent many hours investigating and gave up. On the basis that the HH did not make my broadband any faster or any more reliable than the old router, I saw little point battling for hours just to get the functionality back to what I had before. The HH will stay in it's box. Just about the only conceivable time it will get used will be if I have a broadband fault, where I fully expect BT not to be interested in fixing it if I am not using their HH. so if that happens the HH will be plugged in while the fault is being sorted, then disconnected again.
