My computer doesn't have wi-fi built in. Can I connect it to the Home Hub 3000 using a remote Wi-Fi?

Bell Hub YTP 222 Receiver

I looked at your page and found YTP 2262 has a different letter at  the   start, what is the difference  it does not start with a Y like you specify. I have a computer with out  wi-fi built in, can I hook it up with My 3000  Hub using a remote etc.

Good Day.

Can you please elaborate? Bell does have a HDR TV receiver VIP2262 that can connect to a Home Hub 3000 Hub either by ethernet cable or wireless. It is a Fibe TV receiver. It is not an access point per se for a Wi-Fi connection to a computer. Do you have Fibe TV?

Can you share with us just exactly what you are trying to achieve?

We would like to assist you but cannot with the limited information provided.

Let us know.

Take care.

Thank you for getting back to Me so quickly. I do have HDR with a receiver with the T V there is a small box beside the receiver (PVR) that sends a signal to the Hub in the bedroom which houses the Router. The computer I am using is in the living room two rooms away from the router too far for an ethernet cable .It does not have the Wi-Fi software inside can I still use a remote Wi-Fi to pickup the signal from the main router. Thank you for your help. Take Care John

Good Day.

As I mentioned earlier, please provide us with the full details in terms of what you are trying to achieve & explain what the end result would be with the equipment that you are wishing to connect.

I can only surmise that the small box beside the receiver is either a VAP3400 or 3402. It is used to improve the signal strength between the Bell HH 3000 modem & your Bell Fibe TV VIP2262 receiver. It is a set-top wireless access bridge solution that delivers whole-home improved reach and coverage for Fibe TV.

If you wishing to improve your Internet Wi-Fi signal, then you will need to add Bell Wi-Fi Pods. 

What are Whole Home Wi-Fi pods and how do I use them? : What are Wi-Fi pods?

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Take care.

Thank you for your patience. I did receive the reply's.  I have to apologise, I really got into too much detail before. My basic question is My computer does not have the Wi.Fi. Software inside, can I use a remote router on it for the internet. I have a Bell 3000 Hub. Thankyou. John. Take Care.

If you want to add WiFi capabilities to a computer, a USB wifi card is the easiest way to do so.
