My problem seems fairly widespread according to the net, however, have any of you guys got any ideas or explanations please?
I have a BT Home Hub 4 on BT infinity, getting great speeds on my wired PC of 74Meg and reasonable wifi speeds too. In my household there are two iPads, two iPhones, an Apple TV device and a printer all connected wirelessly and up to the point of setting up my wireless repeater in my shed halfway down the garden, they all worked perfectly.
When I set up the wireless repeater, it works fine when connecting to it, however all other existing devices that are connected wirelessly to to the Hub 4 either connect so slowly they are not usable or do not connect at all. The printer won't connect at all, nor will the Apple TV. The pads and phones work but very slowly. As soon as I unplug the repeater, everything works ok. I have tried changing the wireless channel of the repeater and changing the SSID to no avail. I have also swopped out the Hub 4 for a Hub 5 and still get the same problems. Interestingly, if I use an old Hub 2 and connect that via an Ethernet cable to use as a wireless (wired) access point, the same issues occur. So it seems the Hub 4/5s don't like any wired or wireless extender connected to it. Any ideas?
