Hi Platypus, due to very thick stone walls in our cottage we needed better wireless coverage. I setup a Draytek vigor 2830n as my adsl wireless router and connected a Draytek Vigor ap810 access point placed at the other end of the cottage. The adsl router needed configured with my bt broadband details but the access point was totally plug and play. The setup was so simple and took all of 15 mins which was taken up by running the cable through the loft. The ssid's are set as draytek_A and draytek_B. easy for the kids and wife to connect to. they work great. No routing config to do no hassles.Comment

the wireless router is a multifunction consumer level device designed for max 5 - 10 connections. It has a small CPU to keep the price down but it has to route, do DHCP & wireless.
You are looking for probably 30 + connections so really need to let the Router do Routing and get a proper access point on a static IP address to handle wireless DHCP & logins.
Basically you are asking a fiat 500 to carry a two ton load. To do it properly you need a 4*4 and a trailer.
Should be plenty of decent Cisco or similar multi band access points (I saw Draytek mentioned which are a good compromise) on ebay.
If they are using the same ADSL for credit cards they may well need slightly more security set up. Not something I'm into but What is PCI DSS?
Also remember if they download child porn on his network the Police are going to hold him responsible until they can be bothered to prove otherwise.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

Originally posted by SimonMac View PostI would echo this, I have a quick play at the weekend linking up my old sky router to my HH5 and it would just not play ball, not sure if its the Sky that is refusing to work with anything other than a direct ADSL connection, or the HH5 not giving a "WAN" IP address to the Sky Router but nothing from the Sky router would access the internet through the HH5 as the HH5 doesn't have a "modem only" mode
Which Sky router have you, what way did you reconfigure the Sky router, and what port on each router were you plugging in to?…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment
