Can I connect a Belkin N1 Router with it?

Question

I have BT Total Broadbant Connection and I'm using a BT Home Hub Wireless Modem, to increase my connection speed.

Answer 1

Well, first of all, make sure that your computer's wireless LAN support 802.11n. Then you can use the router.

Good Luck,

Let's clarify

1. You have an internet connection with BT Total Broadband as the ISP.
2. The ISP terminates with a BT Home Hub wireless modem which I presume is an integrated modem, router, 4 port LAN hub and wireless access point in one box and it is provided by your ISP.
3. Your LAN pcs connect either with wired CAT5 to the hub or via wireless.
4. You want a faster connection.

If you connect via wired connection, your speed is limited by the ISP and nothing you can connect will increase your speed.

If you connect via a wireless connection and you are fairly distant or the signal is partly blocked you may see faster speed if you move close to the wireless access point and are in visible line of sight to it. Try this and measure the speed, do not use guesswork (www.pcpitstop.com has a speed measurement capability that can be used to do this).

Now if speed is a lot faster near the wireless access point, and slower at a distant location, your problem is distance and / or obstruction of wireless signal. In this and ONLY in this case can a second wireless access point help with the speed. In this case, your Belkin can help. Run a CAT5 cable from the original modem LAN port to the place where you wish to put the Belkin (I would put it in the same room where you plan to use it) and connect the cable to the WAN port of the Belkin. Turn DHCP off at the Belkin so the IP addresses are provided by the original router from BT. Set the Belkin WAN port for dynamic IP and dynamic DNS. Now you are in business.

Remember the ONLY way this will help is if the Internet speed is slower at the location distant from the original router when compared to the speed at the location close to the router. If there is no speed improvement close to router vs distant to router the second device will NOT help.
