Excellent.
What is my Wlan connector for at rear of Home Hub 5? I'm plugged into my DSL socket, and my Sky & Youview coming out of the sockets. my Wlan not being used!
maxie, it is the red port, but not being used, don't know what it is for, I'm using Dsl also the 4 yellow gig ethernet connections.
maxie, I'm usually quite savvy with computers, being playing & building them since windows 95, have always been with BT, and must admit have been impressed with their broadband ( one mile away from exchange), but never had a modem so to speak.
Years ago I had the blue rubber thing (dolphin like) then Hub 1, 2, 3 & 5, so the Wlan on rear of hub is to be used with separate modem!, why would anyone want that when the Dsl goes to it's own socket. Dsl socket is I believe rj45 cable & Wlan is cat 5e, so from my wall socket should I have rj45 and the other end have Cat5e to plug into my Wlan socket for a better speed, your thoughts most appreciated.
I totally agree with you Peter ... I can not see any reason why it would or even should be used ... I doubt very much that changing your setup would improve your speed ...
Must admit seems a wee bit quicker today. Which speed test do you use?, some them seem to vary quite a bit.
