Router mobile phone transmittions?

[Finger]

I have just switched from Virgin, when I originally went with them I wasn't told that my virgin router transmitted mobile phone signals up and down the road (no I'm not taking about wifi).

Not wanting to sit on a transmitter, I used two routers a TP-link & the Virgin, and put the Virgin router into "Modem mode" (as this turns of the mobile phone transmitter) .

Now I’m with Sky, I need to know if my Sky router SR213-02-UK has any such transmissions? Note it has 02 (phone company) in the model name, so I’m suspicious.

At this point I feel that I must to ask you, please do not to send this question in a different direction. If you think I'm talking bull, or if you have an addiction to mobile phones, or live at the top of a phone transmitter mast, and think all others should as well, then please, kindly pass this question by.

@Finger  No ISP hub tranmits a mobile signal not even the VM hubs, what makes you think it does?

Are you sure you're not geting mixed uo with wifi calling which a lot of mobile devices are capable of doing.  Th O2 in the model number is nothing to do with O2 the mobile provider. Again why do you think it does?

Becouse others on youtube have said so. Proberbly taken down now after two years or so.

Also If I remember corrtectly it was written in the Virgin small print, or I read on line at Virgin, I can't remember.

@Finger Virgin media routers never transmitted mobile signals, they don't have the hardware to do so(no routers do that I am aware of), they do offer "hot-spot" for other virgin media customers and that's probably what the youtube channel was reporting although incorrectly by saying its a mobile signal.

As noted above, internet routers do not broadcast cellular signal.  There used to be devices which could be attached to routers to provide cellular coverage inside buildings (known as femto cells and pico cells) but those have essentially disappeared from use.

Ok then, does this router transmit "Hot spot"?

Sky Hubs have never broadcast a public / 'guest' SSID: that was always a BT Broadband thing.

It's also important to note that the public WiFi network from a BT Hub has no greater range than the wireless used by the subscriber because broadcast power is heavily regulated.

Thank you for that bit of information.
