I received a BT Home Hub through the mail this morning, as I recently upgraded to the top package for the monthly usage. I’ve been using a Belkin Wireless router for the last year and everything is perfect.

We have a large house and the Belkin is currently outside my room, I get full strength, and so does the PC across the hall. However sometimes I’m in the kitchen or through the front of the house the signal is that low I don’t get internet.

I was just wondering is there any way that I can use both wireless routers at the same time? And place the BT Home Hub somewhere in the kitchen, so whenever I move out of one routers distance I can switch to the other?

If so can someone give me set-by-step instructions on how to do this as i know nothing about networking.
I plugged the BT Home Hub in but it didn't find the ADSL line. But when i turned off the Belkin, the HomeHub found it and allowed me to connect to it. So they both work independantly - but don't know how or even if they can both work together.

If they are both on the same wired network, you can use them to expand wireless coverage. Just name them with the same SID, and with the same key for wireless security (if you use it) and any 802.11 client will be able to roam from one to the other. This assumes that some other, singular device is offering DHCP for both stations. You can add as many APs as you like in this manner, although you'll want to space them out to maximize coverage. Using an AP to extend a network wirelessly (where one is wired, and the other is not) is not as clear-cut. Apple offers this option with the Airport Express used in conjunction with the Apple Airport Base Station. Cisco does the same thing with multiple Cisco APs. I don't know about Belkin.
