Re: Set up question Garden Office

Extract from the BT WiFi disc FAQ:

Can I connect a device (for example, printer or games console) to the Ethernet port of the Whole Home Wi-Fi discs?

Your first disc will use the Ethernet port to connect to your hub (router). On the other discs you can use the Ethernet port to connect other wired devices to the network.

Re: Set up question Garden Office

Thanks all for your help.

So it looks like if  I want to connect multiple devices in the Garden Room I will need to connect the Home hub disc at the back of the house to a wireless router or access point in Garden room via Ethernet cable. 

Although confused which one I need Router or Access point and it looks like that will need to be on Different SSID to the Home Hub.

A router is not needed, but a surplus router can be repurposed as an access point.

Entirely up to you if you set a different SSID, but I recommend that you do so that you are aware of which device you are connecting to.

@licquorice Perfect so I need an Access point.

I presumed would need different SSID as would muck up the mesh! 

Presumably this will do the Job?

Yes, but please delete the link. It is against forum rules to post links to e-commerce sites.
