Re: Use a Repeater with Virgin Super Hub

You can do this with any combination of kit and no doubt with the SH in router mode - so long as you can get ethernet into your AP.

If you want a more detailed explanation just let me know.
This is almost exactly the set up I want but when I put the superhub into modem mode, I lost all internet connection through the Airport Extreme that was connected to it. Is there a setting I need to adjust on the Airport Extreme to make it work? Is there a particular port I need to use from the SH and into the Airport Extreme?
At the moment I have the Superhub in router mode connected to the Airport Extreme which powers my network - is there a downside to this?

If you could help with another question I'd also be really grateful..
I need more ports than the airport extreme has for my wired network. If I get an unmanaged switch should it sit between the superhub and the airport extreme or should it sit between the airport extreme and everything else?

Thanks
