With each 3db representing a doubling of signal, these figures would equate to a wireless signal of 64 times as strong, which takes some believing.


Well i can only tell you what inSSIDer is reporting, believing it or not is your choice, but don't forget these results are using the RSSI off various consumer network cards, not a million quids worth of Arqiva test equipment.

Its just shown -25dBm up against the HH4 and -58dBm in the bedroom furthest away from the HH4. Whether the numbers reported are accurate or not is irrelevant given the numbers reported in the bedroom using the HH3 were worse by a significant amount. The point is the HH3 was worse.

Even if i just rely on WiFi signal indicators on different devices the signal strength is clealy higher using the HH4 over the HH3 so unless the HH3 had some voodoo ESP paul daniels powers going on where it could suppress the signal strength indicators on various devices then i can only assume the HH4 distributes the WiFi signal in a more efficient manner.

So then how are you finding the WiFi coverage on the HH4 you own?

Not as good as my Fritzbox 7390, Billion 7800N or Airport Extreme. About the same as my HH3 smile

I've just received my HH3 and due to go active next week (it arrived early because it was sent before I cancelled a previous order).
I rang BT and complained saying I wanted the HH4 and with a bit of persuasion managed to get them to send me a new one but they said it can only be sent once my service is active. I thought this may have been a ploy to keep me as a customer because once its active there is no going back but there are notes on my file to send it out.

Nah, either will be fine.

Better wireless speeds from the Hub4 as far as I can see, but so much as to worry about.

Ah OK to be honest I not too overly bothered about wireless prefer wired myself but might experiment with wireless on my phone or something

My HH3b always worked impeccable and the wireless range was better than the routers i had previously owned (Netgear DG834n, Speedtouch 585v6 and 3 or 4 different Sky routers) but the HH4 is even better than the HH3, wireless range is improved again and i am seeing better thoughput on it via wireless on every device i have tried (3 laptops, Nexus 7, Nexus 4, Xperia S, Galaxy Tab 2, Motorola Defy and the main PC if i turn the homeplug off)
