My 3rd BTHomeHub has arrived and is now all plugged in and setup. I proceeded to spend most of Thursday night on the phone to BT technical support whilst some poorly trained IT guy clicked things on my laptop via a remote desktop system they have implemented.
He spent the first 20 minutes opening command prompt and running ipconfig /release and /renew. After this he looked at the amount of wireless networks in the area and said he is going to get rid of them from my list. I know this is not possible because I actually understand how windows works and have been using it since 3.1 was around. Even logic tells you that removing the networks from the detected networks list isn't possible unless you have a large amount of led to put into the walls. Or there is the cheaper option of turning the wireless off and not having a wireless connection at all.
The next 20/30 minutes consisted of clicking random settings in the BTHomeHub control panel including turning the SSID off, changing the channel (the most logical steps he took). Finally after a hour or so of playing I got back my wireless. But after a few hours both the wireless and ethernet seemed incapable of holding an ip address for more than a few minuites. Still even after reinstalling the drivers the same problem occurs.
Wether this is a faulty dhcp on the router or a software/hardware issue with the router I do not know and more research will need to be done.
On another note I am currently in a lot of pain after going go-karting with nzime yesterday. We had 4 15min sessions with a 2-5 minute break in between. I came 4/6 over all which isn't bad considering it was my 3rd time karting.
