Airport Express v BT Homehub

[phatman007]

Greetings

I have just purchased and spent 4 hours trying to set it up to allow wireless connection to my sound-system to no avail...

For some reason it simply wont connect to my BT Home Hub wireless set up... I tried connecting my Mac via ethernet to my NEW airport express and that worked, but thats not the solution I am looking for...

Has anyone else has problems...?

I also spent about 2 hours speaking to MACsperts in Cork and India but got cut off both times...

This is getting me hot under the collar...

Any advice / help is much appreciated.

Thanks, it appears that its just a case of changing my Home Hub channel, I just need to sort a small issue on my Hub and I should be away... thanks for pointing me in the right direction...

It is certainly a Hub issue... I have connected ok via ethernet, but it wont pick it up over wireless... I have changed the channel to 11, but thats has not fixed it... I have tried to change security but thats does not seem to work either...

Any other ideas people...?

I have managed to fix it... I reset the AX and the channel changes etc must have kicked in... I am now a happy bunny!!!
