    Default BT wifi extender?

    Hey looking to get a BT wifi extender

    I need one that is done via RJ45
    As wifi can't be picked up were I want it. I already ran a cable in few years ago and put in a old router. (DHCP disabled)

    it's started to play up and needs replaced
    So wanted a simple wifi extender that's works with a BT hub as it's been a bit fussy

    Any recommendations?

    You can use any WAP or even repurpose a decent router by giving it a valid static IP, set the gateway and DNS to the home hub IP and disable DHCP. Maybe find the best reviews for a cable router, particularly for wireless, and order one?

    Thanks to evilsatan

    I use a TP-LINK Nano router and have set one up for a few other people with no problems. (">
