Cant connect to BB

Reidy1 — Mon, 31 Mar 2025 11:55:46 GMT

My BB comes into flat in hall Master socket 5 c far away from the lounge where all my equipment is. I have hybrid connect so am using fallback ee wifi, but obviously i dont get the sports package that way, only by bb.

To check I connected hub to 5c and it works.

At present the set up i am trying this. out of the 5c via rj11 to a bt mini connector via rj45. paired to another mini connector in the lounge then via rj45, to a yellow port at hub. This is not working, its just something i thought i would try, should it work ??

I have an extension socket in lounge which doesnt seem to be connected.

Obviously i cant have the hub in hall and cables running through the hall into the lounge

Can anyone help or advise TIA

That won't work.

Put the hub in the hall and then use powerline adapters to provide WiFi and Ethernet where required.

Yes, any port. Just make sure port 4 isn't configured for full fibre.
