Brian yes only one PC needs the BT stuff, yes you need to do the initial set up via lan and after that can use any machine wirelessly all you need is the ssid and wep key both of which are on stickers (not accessible) on the home hubb.
Finally I didn't have any trouble with the installer. Terry Clasper. MSM: terry.clasper@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Skype: terryclasper Private E-Mail: terry.clasper@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Work E-Mail: terry.clasper@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx----- Original Message ----- From: "Dj Paddy" <mygroups@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

"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 doI 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 tooaccessible with the window-eyes mouse pointer or jaws cursor. Is that stillthe 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.Keeping in touch with me: Twitter Username- dj_paddy Twitter RSS- http://twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline/4871941.rss BLOG RSS- http://feeds.feedburner.com/irishgeek Email/msn contact: djpaddy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Skype: djpaddy My websites are mainly used for jumping off platforms, they are http://www.djpaddy.co.uk http://www.barry-toner.co.uk----- Original Message ----- From: "brian hartgen" <brian@xxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, June 27, 2007 6:45 PM Subject: [access-uk] BT internet installHiFor 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 still the case please? Potentially I will be doing this install without sighted assistance so it would be quite good to know.Thanks.
