Setting Up a BT Business Hub as a WiFi Access Point
A History Lesson
A couple of years ago, I was fortunate enough to be given a couple of new BT Business hubs (BT 2700HGV).
I stuck them somewhere safe and forgot about them as I was in the middle of a degree.I rediscovered them a year later and gave one to a mate.
A year after that, I rediscovered the remaining one, and decided to look into how I might use it.
I wanted to set it up to provide a wifi link for a visitor's laptop.
Finding Information
I don't use BT as my ISP, so it had to work within my network as an access point. There wasn't much on the Internet which is why I am writing this in the hope that some other might find this useful.There is one site out there with some sketchy info on how this might be achieved, but his/her setup is a bit different from mine. However, without the article at thewatertower my efforts would have taken a lot longer. Many thanks to him/her.
