No. The unit sits on an internal wall picking up a wireless 'g' signal from a Linksys AP (access-point, like a router but without any 'routing' - apologies if you're already familiar with what an AP is) and repeating it into the two rooms where the wireless 'g' signal from the Linksys was too weak for the SBRs to work. I purchased this unit because I wasn't sure whether repeaters, generally, had to be the 'same manufacturer' as the main router or AP whose signal was being repeated. (Eg, BT, in your case.) Some of the comments on Amazon indicated that this Edimax unit would repeat any wireless 'g' signal, so I got it. It certainly repeats/extends the Linksys's signal ok. Perhaps there will be some comments about its use with BT Infinity since BT has such a large proportion of the BB market in UK. On a slightly different subject, have you grasped, ok, that there are two different suggestions for you on this thread? (i) Repeat the wireless signal from the BT Infinity - for example, by sticking the Edimax unit on a wall near a window looking into the garden (behind a curtain is fine, upstairs would be better than downstairs*). (ii) Don't repeat the signal at all. Instead, get an additional WiFi AP instead, installed at a suitable (upstairs - preferably*) window overlooking the garden - behind a curtain is fine, which you then connect using an ethernet cable to your BT Infinity. Set the new upstairs AP to use a different channel from the channel used by the BT Infinity. *Note: If you are in an urban area and your windows, or garden, are to some extent 'overlooked' by adjacent properties, you might be better off not putting your WiFi unit in an upstairs window, but in a downstairs window where its signal will contend with lower-strength signals from other properties. (Signal attenuation - eg from other properties - tends to be greater at lower heights.) regards, Atlantic -- Atlantic ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Atlantic's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44239 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87094 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
