    Default BB Wifi

    Hello,

    I have a friend with BT BB installed down stairs, He wants to use it upstairs and by using the old method of networking the connection fails due to the extension, so he wants to use WiFi can someone give advice on what we need and so on and where to get.

    Cheers mate, but they don't seem to answer my query.

    He has just had BT ADSL installed, the BT Tech installed the modem downstairs and my mate got an extension lead to the computer upstairs, but BB does not work.

    Is it possible to connect WIFI direct to the modem if so would this be a router?

    You would be wanting a wireless integrated ADSL router, and you will also be needing a wireless network card for the PC.
