Thanks mods for dealing with my incompetence.
If you value your sanity / hair / life, don't.. what ever you do... try to use an Apple Express on your BT Home Hub. I've spent what seems like every waking moment this week trying to set mine up - not 'cos I need to extend my network from my Home Hub, but to allow me to attach a hard drive / hifi to the network, but it's a nightmare. I've given up for the night.
And relax. I don't know if it's a BTHH thing or an AE thing, but both don't seem to love it each other very much. Best of luck.
You can get better antennas for routers. I think they all use the same co-ax connection on them, so just take your pick for what you wanna spend...
You could try wireless-N, but i believe there might be some isses with proprietary services/BT Homehub hardware (the second phone line). BT homehubs are known to be average on performance (made by Alcatel-Lucent).
You could try running a 10/100 ethernet extension cable to another strategic point in the house and buy a cheap wifi router and create an extension hotspot. [url= http://www.ebuyer.com/product/132429 ]£14.99 wifi router from eBuyer.com[/url]
