i have 2 laptops and a desktop. laptops are in house. desktop is in, basically, the garden shed. shed has phone point (same number as in house). Homehub is in sitting room near to TV (have BT vision so it needs to be there). i laptop generally works ok (DH's a Dell, old one bought off ebay cheap). my 'posh' laptop with a ralink and a wireless card internally thing hardly ever works. always have to use zero configuration to get it to go. rarely works first time. really p**d off with it. Desktop outside works about once evry 3 months - using the wireless adapter thing from belkin (so 'talking' to homehub). today i had a brainwave and connected desktop using old alcatel modem but of course that didn't work either and it stopped the homehub working inside the house.
i have had all pcs checked out at pc world (cost afortune) had a 'BT' engineer come who charged £60 got laptop and desktop working for that day only (and never again) and paid someone else £120 to sort it out but after afew days it kind of dropped off again. ios it my homehub do you think? what can i do? i have phoned bt millions of times and am sooo fed up.
the outside one is important as it is in my official 'office' as i work from home. the dell laptop means my dh can use it without messing up my files etc and the posh laptop is for the kids to use basically so tehy can be near us and not mess up our files.
