[QUOTE="OnOff, post: 368188, member: 16173"] Started off with the BT Home Hub 3 [U]Model A[/U] worked AOK for a good while - it's on ADSL btw. My father then upgraded his BT package and so I acquired his old Home Hub 3 [U]Model B[/U]. Paired the two up with the B as the main hub and the A connected to it via Cat-5 to extend wireless coverage in the house. Great to start off with & this set up eventually started to play up. So..........went back to the Model A. My sons gaming pc hard wired to it and all other pcs connected wireless - generally one desktop and a laptop. This rapidly went downhill dropping out on both wired and wireless. Tried changing channels etc for the wireless but made no difference. So..........mentioned to my nephew who's now on Sky and he's given me his old Home Hub 3 Model A. I'm on it now with no dropping out etc on wireless or wired. Saying that I've got 2 sometimes 3 bars (out of 4) on the lappy signal and the router is about 20' feet away! Never get the 4 bars. He hadn't used it for over a year. Sitting here watching BT plug their latest router on the telly and I got to wondering...........do BT etc somehow slow their old routers to encourage you to buy a new one or have I been listening to too many conspiracy theories?
