BT routers et al

Dull techy post, but someone might be interested... got a BT business broadband hub in the new house and was struggling to get it to reach the far corners of the house to supply a usable wireless signal... I spent a bit of time researching the options for complicated wireless repeaters and range extenders and various forms of WDS (Wireless Distribution Service) - all of which are badly supported or not supported by most cheap routers (including all three that I own) and not particularly user friendly to set up either. Anyway, as it happens, a simpler solution was to hand - raising the power level on the BT hub which is possible (with a little jiggery pokery) although probably not allowed under the FCC radio transmission rules etc but nevertheless this made the difference between sad S (not able to use internet in kitchen) and happy S (able to use internet in kitchen), so it must be good.
