If BT can't help - you must have a wireless router - modem. It connects wirelessly or through a wire to a lan card that not many pople have. You have to connect to it wirelessly most probably. Look at the bottom of the router for info. It will probably tell you the address of the router, user name and password. The address you type in to internet explorer. Try clicking the wireless icon on your taskbar first and search for acess points - if one comes up that looks like yours (make sure it's plugged in). Then click connect. In Internet explorer type http://192.168.0.1 that is the usual address of your router. The default user name is admin( that's you!) and passowrd is guess what - PASSWORD. Once in start to try and configure it. Then try to configure your computer to match. A passphrase you try a string it will generate a string of hex - that you write down - your computer will ask for it - it's your encryption key. You will probably have the choice of WEP or WPA - WEP is easier - but easy to hack - so choose WEP until you get used to it. Each computer has a private IP. The IP of the router is http://192.168.0.1 then your computer is http://192.168.0.2 and so on. I have 2 computers so this one is http://192.168.0.3 I just clicked the icon on my task bar and found my network and a couple of neighbours - one isn't encrypted so - I can hack that easy! You do that and go to advanced setting to change settings on the computers. the main setting to the channel the router transmits on - try to make it different from your neighbour and pick channel 3,5,7,or 9. Then come back and ask another question! LOL The link below will take you to a forum - just ask me for help on there - I do all the computer section!

i have just upgraded to bt option 2 so i could go wireless. i just bought a wireless adapter from them. it is compatible with the home hub and in the 2 weeks i have been wireless i havent had a problem. so long as you install the equipment properly you shouldnt have a problem. just make sure you get the right adapter for the wireless router tho.

BT never help they just sell the broadband. they just look at pre-typed rubbish on there screens and have no idea what there on about. Especially when your talking to somebody outside the UK. these people think we love spending 3hrs a day going through everything we have already tried.
Give us some more info on what you've got e.g desktop, laptop, make of router, op system.

Ah for the sweetness this is BT Infinity - yet this is approximately extending fibre as near on your hub (or particularly your place) as conceivable - it relatively is fibre to the container, on the top of your highway negating the gap subject between your place and the community replace, or fibre on your place itself on par with Virgin in the event that they have CCTV on the path exterior. yet there might, and could, be drop outs at cases - something conventional and disregarded via your cyber web browser, yet something much less tolerated via a gaming device. That aside - you're exposing your self no longer in basic terms to the technological practicialities of the BT superfast broadband community, yet additionally on your community radio community via using on the spot - by no potential something absolutely everyone might propose for a gaming device, and not in all probability any fault of BT who in all probability have the superb on the spot hubs on the industry. the two connect game device direct to hub with an ethernet cable, or placed funds right into a device that makes use of your mains - you plug a undeniable LAN socket into your mains, and connect an ethernet cable between it and your gaming device - on the different end you connect yet another specific LAN socket on your mains and connect from it to the hub with yet another ethernet cable. This reduces the intolerance you're experiencing out of your on the spot community - shadows, drop outs and so on - and in all probability why your BT Engineer could no longer discover any subject. in case you do no longer have faith me attempt this - decide out of your landline on a fixed telephone whilst having your cellular telephone close to the fixed telephone..whilst doing so use your cellular telephone to take heed to your voicemail... you're fixed telephone line grants you resonance of a few form - that's what you're exposing your xbox to at any factor in time whilst using on the spot.
