Complete Wifi

Hi Guys

Technical type question.

Looking at extending my wifi range within the house as in one room I only get a 46% signal. If I was to use complete wifi would this just extend the current wifi with its existing IP subnets or would it create a new IP subnet?

Thanks

Hi @DeaneM Complete WiFi extends your current WiFi. Same SSID, Password and DCHP as the SH2.

Thanks for the clarification, looks like I will be ordering a Disc then 🙂

What hub do you have? Because I have had a boiler installed in my loft when I had a Hub 6 and the wi-fi thermostat had flaky connection frequently dropping out. Since I had the latest Hub 2 it seems more powerful with no drop out of connection between boiler and thermostat over the past 12 months.

Smart Hub 2.

Issue is I only get a 46% signal strength in the back room, most things cope with this, just the label printer will not connect

Before ordering a disc, I would check if you can get the printer connected by turning off the 5Ghz on the hub, connecting the printer then turning it back on as some devices will only connect to the 2.4 band.
You will need to go into the hub manager, wireless and advanced, the details for how to connect are on the back of the hub or call BT and they can help you with this
