[access-uk] Re: BT internet install

"1. When I insert the CD to install the software and presumably activate my
BT account, can I connect wirelessly at that point in order to do that or do
I need to connect a PC to the unit via a cable first?"
No idea. I'm not sure if WIFI is encrypted on the hub or if encryption is disabled. I'd give it a wirl if you really need to but otherwise throw it into an ethernet port. 

"2. Presumably I only have to install the BT software onto one machine on
which I can activate the account as once there is a wireless connection to
the internet that should be OK for all the other machines connecting
wirelessly.  Is that correct?"

Yes that' sright, although I wouldn't use the BT software.

"3. If I remember correctly from BT internet installations I have done for
other people a number of years ago now, the BT internet install is not too
accessible with the window-eyes mouse pointer or jaws cursor. Is that still
the case please?  Potentially I will be doing this install without sighted
assistance so it would be quite good to know."
The last BT install CD I looked at about 3 months ago back wasn't great. Again i'd configure it directly through the web setup utility. I've a Linksys router/modem/ WIFI access point here doing the same job.
All the router needs is a username and password, and these can be anything. You dont' need to use your BTINTERNET login info at all.

Subject: [access-uk] BT internet install



Hi
For various reasons, we have decided to purchase our internet broadband from BT internet and today I have ordered a package including a BT home hub which I think had some coverage on this list fairly recently.
I have downloaded the quick start guide and the installation looks extremely simple, however I have a few questions if anyone can please help.
1. When I insert the CD to install the software and presumably activate my BT account, can I connect wirelessly at that point in order to do that or do I need to connect a PC to the unit via a cable first? 2. Presumably I only have to install the BT software onto one machine on which I can activate the account as once there is a wireless connection to the internet that should be OK for all the other machines connecting wirelessly. Is that correct? 3. If I remember correctly from BT internet installations I have done for other people a number of years ago now, the BT internet install is not too accessible with the window-eyes mouse pointer or jaws cursor. Is that still the case please? Potentially I will be doing this install without sighted assistance so it would be quite good to know. 

Thanks.
