Mozaic and wireless??

By EmmaS

Hi, am waiting patiently for my mozaic installation appointment, we have a study upstairs and TV in the lounge downstairs, while our laptop has wireless capapbility our 2 desktops (1 mac and 1 PC) do not.

When asking about my appointment time today, I asked if we could have the router upstairs and the TV downstairs and was told I could not.

Their surely must be a way the router can be in a different room than the TV,( we need to connect the desktops by ethernet)

Has anyone solved this problem, what happens if you want TV in more than one room?

Thanks in advance

yes I know they will provide the ADSL router, but it will be downstairs by the TV, if I can configure my own router upstairs to receive the wireless signal from the QTEL router then won't it boost the range and allow me to plug in my non wireless devices upstairs?

What do QTEL do if you want 2 TV connections?, its an option on the application form, I think you have to pay more, do they install a second router or run a cable through the walls?

As you have subscribed to Mozaic Qtel will provide the WIFI Router for ADSL and STB for TV.

Everything is possible you will need to do the following

Buy CAT 5e or CAT 6 Cable long enough from TV room to upstairs where your ADSL WIFI router and STB will be connected

Also buy 2 USB Wireless adapter for your 2 Desktop

It can be done privately....by the local cable guy after the Q-Tel Guys have gone.....pull an extra long Yellow/Red/White Cable across the rooms.
