Miss_Cinnabon

I have ordered a bt homehub which i will get next week, saw on the order bit that they offered a usb stick for £24.99 but only went up to windows xp, im on vista

do i need this to get connected?

thanks

Hi,


You do not need a usb stick to use the bt home hub, as long as you already have a wireless enabled laptop, I guess the stick is a wireless usb dongle.

hi thanks for that, not a laptop, have a desktop computer

thanks

Sorry Kyle, I just glanced at your question and thought it said a bath hot tub - and I haven't even had a drink yet!!!

bmwman

well if you have a desktop pc and you want to go wireless then yes you will need a wireless usb dongle
