Routers, Routers, Routers everywhere....

I have got : Sky Hub 2, BT Hub 2, Sky B/Band Router, and 2 Netgear routers. I wonder what'll happen if I connect them all together..........

Don't cross the streams!!!!

I have no routers any more (sadly) as don't live in broadband area, its dial up or Three 4G tethering... go figure.

I suspect the last thing will be Internet access!

I have worked out how to piggy back t'interweb through them all by disabling DHCP and changing IP addresses.....thinking of using Sky hub as a modem and getting a good n/ac router for the home network. Not allowed to plug anything except Sky hub into socket to get fibre, but there's nothing said about how I distriibute it around my house

The wifi from a sky router is quite good!

My favourite router's a Bosch - a bit tricky to set up, but great for really accurate joints.

Depends on how well DHCP works on these routers.

I have a Netgear router connected to a TPLink router and configured the TPLink to restrict the bandwidth to the Netgear router to ~128kpbs. I then connect anything I don't enjoy having on my network (like company laptops) to the Netgear router, and don't suffer when it tries to sync huge amounts of useless data off the company servers onto the company laptop..

I get that from my BT Home Hub 3.

Fair enough. Mine is ok all over the house.

We've got one BT one and I could quite happily take a sledgehammer to the fugger, it's worse than dial-up at the moment.

Ive got 2 default 625 an elu moff 177 a trend a bosch and a silverline one that cost me £4 .

The WiFi on the EE BrightBox 2 we got when we upgraded to fibre broadband is much better than the Netgear we had previously. So much so that I've yet to feel the need to use the Ethernet socket I installed near my bed. Ho hum...

Unless they're all squarish and the gaffer tape is pretty strong they probably won't stand up in a single column, best to sort have a long line of them I reckon.
