I have a second Superhub and wondered if it was connected to my existing superhub via cat5e can it be set as a access point elsewhere in the house.
If I can use the second Superhub as an access point, how do you set it up and can I connect my Tivo via cat5e patch lead? ( Hoping this will give me access to Tivo via phone and tablets via internet)

As far as I know none of the super hubs can be used as a WiFi access point.
Because they only have LAN sockets and not a WAN socket.

The detailed instructions worked without any problems for me so thanks very much.
I know have the superhub 3 (which seems to provide better wifi than SH 2ac) located in the middle of my large detached property and the SH 2 has been set up as an Access Point and located in my lounge where most of us sit and and receiving very good signal/speed - 70-100mbps on 2.4mhz/5mhz.
I'm on 200mbps broadband.
Thanks

Thanks for the advice here. I've been directed to this thread to ask for help.
I'm having trouble getting this to work. I seem to be having an issue when changing the IP of each Super Hub. I'm finding that when I change the IP address I can no longer access either Super Hub GUI through the new IP address and I lose internet through the main router.
Hard resetting the router main router back to default settings restores the internet but I can't set up the access point.
Has anybody else had this issue?

Apologies, I misunderstood point 4. It's all working now!
Just in case anyone else makes the same point, for clarity on point 4 this is what you need to do:
"On the router you are usinsg as the access point, set the lan IP address to 192.168.0.254, set the ending IP address to 192.168.0.253 and set DHCP Server to No. You need to set the ending IP address as well or it will complain, even though DHCP is switched off."

In step 5 I've logged into my main superhub but cannot see how to change the current 2 to 254 to 2 to 253 as suggested. Am I missing something here?
