I have a small outhouse I rent out and had run an old BT hub via an Ethernet cable plugged into my home hub. This has been configured to act as an extender so my guest can log on with their own id and password provided.
the problem is the guests can get 30+ Mbps via the extender wifi where as in the house via the wifi I only get around 15-2o Mbps
is there a why to configure the extension hub to a limited bandwidth or speed?
thanks in advance

Bit mean on your guest, isn’t it?
Anyway, as far as I know, there is no way to limit the hub wi-fi in this respect.
Wireless performance differences like this are often due to the position of the access point and the environment it is operating in. Perhaps repositioning your router will help? Putting it higher up and a more central location will often help.
You could also get a second “Old BT hub” from somewhere and use it as an access point for the main house, turning off the router wi-fi.
Cheers. Just want to drop,it to around 10-15 Mbps, just balance it out.
They short answer is no you can not do that with BT routers.
You would need to buy a Wireless Access Point that allows you to do that which you may find with an Internet search or you may have to buy a new router that can do it and use that to limit the WAP.
@Mnp1962 you are entirely missing the point, reducing the speed at the extender won't increase the speed at the hub. Your low speed from the hub is due to the poor WiFi signal proposition in the house.
It’s slower even with an Ethernet cable plugged into which seems strange.
