Yes it'll work providing you provide them with the correct network key to get access to your router /internet.

Wireless and wired connections will work independently from each other, so yes: you can use (normally 4) wired machines as well as a number of wireless machines at the same time.

So it might have nice thick internal brick walls - which degrade wireless signals. But you'll just have to try it and see.

No you won't need to change them - you can use your current mail addresses.

Hi no the wals are not that thick the Hub is practically directly under the P.C. so its ony the ceiling in the way thanks again for your help cheers take care best regards .

Hi is this Hub any good because I have herd some bad reports about it ,I am not very technically minded so i wouldnt know what to do if it wasnt working properly ,why so many complaints about it surely it cant be that bad thanks again take care best regards.

roystheboy · 20-01-2011, 16:07

Hi Just got my USB adapar just plucking up courage now to Install the Hub and adaptar any advice would be great thanks take care best regards

danielf · 20-01-2011, 16:45

First connect a machine using ethernet cable and focus on getting that to work (reboot the hub and computer). Do not start faffing about with the wireless until the wired connection works. Once you've achieved the wired connection you can always post here to ask questions about the wifi and security etc.

roystheboy · 20-01-2011, 19:03

thats really good advice but thats going to be a problem because my P.C.is upstairs and the Hub is downstairs havnt got the earthenet cable long enough ,coulnt i just go for the wireless connection first as last with your help it should be O.K. shouldnt it thanks again cheers take care best regards .
