Hi, I've recently renewed my contract and have upgraded my Hub one to a Hub Two.
As I have some Wi-Fi blackspots I was hoping to use the Hub one as an extender, but cannot find any posts on this.
Any help would be gratefully received.
Thanks,
John

Thanks for the instructions, I have managed to get it to work after some initial difficulties. However two things arise:
1. The slave router has a constantly flashing red light. How can this be stopped?
2. When moving through the house, devices e.g. an iPhone, don't automatically switch between routers.
Any advice greatly received.
Thanks

1. All that you can do is apply sticky tape across the light.
2. The only certain answer is to forget extenders of any type and buy a mesh set up.

If you are careful you can peal back the plastic cover over the flashing b light, it should stick back on (it did for me)
