No it won't. Homehub 2 has WDS disabled in the firmware.
I was irritated by the poor range and so opened it up, drilled the top edge and added two external aerials on pigtails from Oxfordtec (standard box has two small flat-plate internal aerials that you just unplug and leave). Reaches the bottom of the garden now..
Yep - but the Asus acts as a client and retransmits on a different SSID using NAT for multiple clients - this is Ok if you dont want extended N coverage and G will suffice
This certainly is currently working on a BT 2Wire Business hub on the latest firmware which has also been badly hacked by BT to prevent anything but BT VoIP but I have no dealings with homehubs so I cant tell if they have managed to prevent this
However
That is a nice simple solution to the problem !
I found the most effective solution and the most robust one too was to use an old Cisco (industrial use) access point in to my normal router.
We've upgraded them all in our offices so we have stacks of these Cisco access points gathering dust.
Coverage is infinitely superior than anything designed for home use and it *never* requires a reboot.
Only problem was setting the cisco router up via telnet... No easy to use GUI on these
Has anyone used the homeplug extenders? maybe this is the best option for the OP?
