Home Hub V2//Fax Connection

I have recently installed the Bt Home Hub V2. and am using BT Talk with a normal touch phone,not hub phone.
Is it possible to connect a fax through this line thus freeing up our home line. I have tried to do this but have only managed to send two faxes before communication error occurs, and I have never been able to receive faxes.
Any help would be appreciated
Solved!

you cannot connect a fax machine to the BBtalk line

  • BT home hub 4 wireless connection issue on the Xbo...

    Hi all,
    It has been flagged to us that there may be an issue when connecting an Xbox 360 to the new BT home hub 4.
    As many of you are aware the new BT home hub 4 has dual wireless bands broadcasting in the  2.4 GHz and 5 GHz range.
    It seems that when connecting an Xbox 360 wirelessly to the hub 4, the Xbox will state that there is an error, like the one below.
    “There is more than one network in range that has this SSID, please change your router SSID before proceeding”
    This issue seems to be due to the fact then when the Xbox scans for the available wireless networks, it sees both SSID's  and insists that one of them must be changed in case of a conflict.
    This is an Xbox 360 issue and not a hub 4 problem
    When Xbox 360 was released some 8 years ago dual band routers were very uncommon; so the Xbox has not been setup to deal with this type of connection.
    To correct this issue we have some steps that you can follow so that you can connect to the hub. You will need to log into the BT home hub manager  and change the SSID on the 5 GHZ band being broadcasted from the hub.
    Steps to do this are as follows…….
    Log in to the Hub 4 in the normal manner setting up a new password or using the custom password that has been setup by the customer then navigate to the Advanced Settings
    Then select continue to advanced setting
    Then select wireless
    Then select 5GHZ
    After that you will need to change Sync with 2.4 from yes to NO
    After this has been done you will then be able to change the SSID of the 5GZ band adding a number or a letter to the end
    After all this has been done you will then need to click apply to save the changes
    You will now be able to connect the Xbox in the normal way using the default wireless key

    Try changing the wireless channel in the hub. Enter 192.168.1.254 then go to wireless switch to manual and try another channel. You can try downloading inssider3 which will show netwrorks and their channels round about you

  • Home Hub 3 - losing connection to certain devices

    Hi, I've just upgraded to Infinity to try to improve the poor download speeds and regular loss of broadband I was getting on the old BT copper wire service.  This included an upgrade from the Home Hub 2 to the Home Hub 3.  Early results on the speed are good - typically download speeds are up to 25mb and upload has improved to around 8mb (from less than 3.5mb and 650kbs).  However, I'm now experiencing WiFi connection problems with some of my devices.
    I have a range of computers, games consoles, iPod touches and iPads connected wirelessly to the router.  Some, like my Lenovo X201 and my son's X-box, have connected and remain connected.  Others, like my sons' iPod touches, the iPad, and our Dell Netbook seem to freeze.  One moment you are surfing the Internet, then you click on a link or try to search, or select a new page and the browser suggests it's trying to go to that page, but nothing happens.  The only way to unfreeze it is to disconnect and reconnect, or to renew the lease.  On the iPad this can occur every two-to-three minutes, which is a very irritating way to surf!  There are similar issues with viewing video content from iPlayer, etc.
    Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this before I resort to call the BT 'helpline'?  (Yes, helpline is in quotes: I have a long relationship born of many years of broadband - or lack of it, more accurately...)

    Hi snbjap and rounhead27, welcome to the forums
    Ok, I too have a hub3 and have also seen this lately, though my hub has had many settings changed, so they're no longer at default settings.
    The event log on the hub manager doesn't show this drop, which is odd as it normally does.
    There are some things you can try:
    a) change the wireless interface type from the default of b/g/n to just b/g
    b) set each device to be issued with the same IP Address via the hub(time consuming for multiple devices)
    or
    c) set each device with a static IP Address and manually configure the settings to connect to the hub and thus the www (This so far, appears to have cured my Wii dropping)
    Having said all that, and because I've already done the above, which has worked for me till the recent drop via wifi, I'll flag a forum mods to see if there is currently a known issue.

  • Home hub 3, broadband connection dropping

    Hi, just a few days ago I recived my new home hub 3. The reason I wanted the upgrade from the hub 1 is because the broadband connection would drop and also the old hub would reset it self constantly.
    The new hub is much better in terms of not resetting itself, if i try and watch something on 4od etc, youtube, it feels like any stress and the braodband connection drops, I had this on the old hub but it feels like its happening more now.
    So much so I decided to make a paint version of my wiring so someone can maybe help me out.
    http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r173/guysy1110/​routerproblem.png
    Sorry the paint image came out much smaller than I wanted.
    The main phone line is dowstairs in the lounge, its split into 2 using a 2 way splitter, one goes to the main phone which has a microfilter attached, the other plug leads up to the spare room and there a phone box (sorry not sure what its called) is in place, this box was split into another one because a long time ago there was a router that lived in the spare room (the split box is unused). Probably confusing people now, but the main box upstairs in the spare room is extended into my room and then a microfilter is used and then goes into the hub.
    The extension cable is FAR too long, possibly 10m of cable wound up and tucked behind the drawers. Could this be a problem? I guess so.
    So my main questions are, if both the router and main phone have new microfilters on, what other causes could keep my router dropping the broadband connection? the extension into my room is FAR too long possibly 10m which is wound up behind my drawers, first off im going to get a shorter cable. 
    Also the microfilter is closest to the hub, would it be better at the first source downstairs, or even in the spare room?
    Any suggestions would be great. thanks.

    Im reviving this thread, so far from the phone box upstairs Ive shortened the cable, It still goes into my room but now instead of having a ridiculous 15m amount of calbing unused Its a straight 3m from the other room to mine.
    This has slightly improoved things.
    However the hub still suffers and drops the broadband connection when under "stress" when the phone rings it sometimes drops, and when downloading files it drops halfway through if the file is large which is a massive pain.
    On the downstairs master socket I removed the facia and did a quiet line test on the inside socket, there was no noise. I used a corded phone. I wasnt sure if it mattered but I tested all other sockets using this method and none had any noise.
    I phoned BT and was advised to take the hub closest to the master socket, but if i do this I have no wireless card in my PC so cannot connect, The obvious option is to get a wireless card but that will cost money. As will buying the power lines.
    Any suggestions? I guess plugging the hub in downstairs and trying to connect to something is the best option.
    Any advice please?

  • Bt Home Hub can I connect?

    Can I and how do I connect to BT Home Hub with my Laptop when it is  one of the available connections when working away from home, It normaly asks for a Password.

    Unless they take their security key off which, in my view i don't see ANYONE Doing that. they might of if they don't have a key on their hub, so they are mad 

  • Home Hub 4 dropping connection

    Hello - I hope someone can help
    I have had repeated problems with broadband over several months - even changing supplier to BT - no difference. I have renewed wiring, changed telephone sets, filters - the lot and are now using the BT Home Hub 4. This has now been connected to the test socket for a couple of weeks now and it is still dropping connection on a regular basis. I reported a fault with a noisy line a couple of weeks ago and it seemed to briefly resolve itself.
    I have tried to log an issue with BT but the line test shows no fault. The broadband speed test is about right for our location too.
    At the end of my tether now and looking for any more help before biting the bullet and risking a £130 bill for an engineer to check the line. I have a hunch it is the main BT socket itself. Any ideas ?
    Cheers
    Jim

    Hi Welcome to the community forums
    Have you tried the quiet line test dial 17070 option 2 if any noise is heard this needs reporting to BT Faults on 151 with no mention of broadband in the call once resolved your broaband will start to improve

  • Bt infinity - home hub 5 - dropping connection

    Ok guys, might be a difficult one for you here.
    I have had infinity installed since October. I have always suffered from drop outs in my connection.
    What happens is that the big blue light on the hh will turn orange for maybe 5 seconds or so and then go back to blue. But it's long enough to kick me out of an online game for example.
    Router logs show something for the disconnection, but no info really.
    I have had 3 home hubs, brand new internal wiring in my house, and 4 or 5 engineers out to check things out, as the line was also a lot slower than initially expected.
    I have had another engineer out yesterday and today, who has changed my entire line back to the green box. But it has just disconnected on my again whilst playing titanfall.
    Does anybody here have any ideas? Engineers are at a loss, BT India support are clueless. I'm out of ideas
    Cheers guys

    The only thing that makes me wonder, is that I am not seeing these VDSL up and down resyncs. And most people have been seeing these issues since late January, mine go back to October.

    I do have a OR modem around, unused, that I managed to talk one of the engineers in to giving me, as plan was to use my AirPort Extreme, but I didn't want to start using that until the connection was fixed, as first thing bt support would say is that it's my router causing the fault.
    I could try the OR modem, just not sure if this is my problem or not. Anybody know anything from the logs I have posted? Or will any other logs help out?

    Yeah it connects, then dies basically instantly (20-30s) then maybe flashes orange for abit then goes back to blue (but is still unconnected). I then restart it and the the whole cycle starts all over again.
    I have broadband only, as I use it for my xbox etc so its not connected up for phone line.
    There is no exchange problems in my area.

  • Issues with Gagabit connection on BT Home Hub 3.0

    I did post this is the BB Other Forum, but got no reply, maybe someone can answer it in this one.
    I have just received a BT Home Hub 3.0 to replace my old HH 1.0
    I have connected the hub up and 'assumed' that if I plug port 4 into my existing gigabit home network everything would work simple.  However this is not the case.
    My existing ;working' home network has the following
    1 x PC
    1 x Laptop
    1 x N.A.S
    These are all connected by a 5 port Netgear Switch (GS605) they all have the yellow light to say they are at gigabit speed.
    When I plug the HH 3.0 into the swtch, the light only comes up as orange (100mps).  I have tried changing cables, but still the same result.
    However, if I connect the PC directly to the HH 3.0 then my Local Area Connection says it is connected at 1.0Gbps.
    When connected to the switch, my connection through the HH 3.0 is very slow, but when connected directly to the HH 3.0 it is running at speeds I previously had.
    I have disconnected all items from the switch, powered down the HH 3.0 and connected it on its own.  The yellow (1Gbps) light flashes for a while and then changes to orange.
    Can anyone advise?
    Regards
    Trevor

    I have tired connecting just the HH 3.0 to the Netgear Switch with cables that I know work at 1 Gbps and into all the ports.  Resetting the HH 3.0 on several occasions.
    Each time the light flashed yellow and then turned to orange.  I know the switch works as I have green lights when known Gbps items are connected, eg, PC, Laptop and NAS.
    When I connect my PC directly to the HH 3.0 in the Gbps my network connection comes up as 1 Gbps.
    It is just when I connect the HH to the switch.
    When I go to the Home Network setting on the HH I have the following.  The hub is connected to the switch on ethernet port 2
    PC connected at 1000 Mbps (directly to the Gbps on the home hub)
    BT Vision connected at 100 Mbps (directly to port 1 on the home hub)
    Laptop connected at 100 Mbps (connected to the switch) but is showing as 1 Gbps on the switch.
    NAS connected at 100 Mbps (connected to the switch) but is showing as 1 Gbps on the switch.
    Any further ideas?
    Regards

  • I cant get my macbook (2008 model running 10.6.8) to connect to the home hub 5

    to connect to the home hub 5 it connects eventually but is extremely tempermental... does anyone have a fix that doesnt involve messing around with the home hub settings...
    for further notes, my dads macbook (same model but running 10.7) connects and works fine, as does the 2 windows desktop computers and laptops we have, my xbox and play station 3 consoles, my iphone 5c, ipad mini, my mums iphone 5, and my dads and sisters samsung galaxy note phones.... even as i type this i can kind of see the problem being with my macbook rather than anything else.... but if someone could give a solution that would be great =] 

    Howdy there SwipeatronSparks,
    If your MacBook Pro still has issues when connecting to your hub, I would recommend the troubleshooting for the symptoms you are seeing in the following article, named:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Connect a printer to Bt Home Hub usb plug and acess the printer on my mac

    Hi,
    I have the new BT Home Hub and i connected a printer in the usb socket of the hub.
    Does anyone know how i can print with the printer.
    The printer is a HP Deskjet Series
    And i have a iMac

    I have a BT Home Hub 2.0 and usually connect my printer to my hub via a LAN cable. However, a friend has just switched to BT and asked me whether this was possible. If you plug in the printer via USB the Homehub Manager page states that +*No USB device connected*+ and if you look on BT's website they say this:
    {quote:title=BTs website post:}
    The BT Home Hub, including the latest BT Home Hub 2.0, aren't print servers. Connecting a printer to the USB socket won't work, and BT can't help with this.
    There are reports from some customers elsewhere on the Internet claiming they've managed to share printers in this way. But the success might be specific to the printer used by these customers, and the Hub doesn't support this feature.
    {quote}
    However, the following link provides shows that it is possible: http://www.wallaceit.co.uk/witarticle80.aspx
    I'd be interested to see if this works.
    Cheers.

  • Home hub dropping connection

    New here so sorry if this is in the wrong place, or if I miss any information. I'll try to be as descriptive as possible.
    I've had my bt infinity setup for around a month and a half. The home hub has been connected to an extention socket, and my computers are wired to the home hub.
    This was working fine until two nights ago, when the home hub power light started flashing orange. There are no other lights showing on the home hub. The Internet was not working at all at this point, and my computer was saying that 'additional login information may be required'
    When I open a browser I'm taken through the diagnostics, but it doesn't correspond exactly to the issue, as the broadband light is not also flashing on my home hub.
    Last night I tried moving the home hub to the master socket. This appeared to work for a short time, but before long it was back to the exact same situation as the extention socket. The Internet works intermittently on the master socket.
    According to bt there are no faults on the line. I have tried resetting the settings on my home hub also. I have tried calling bt but was on hold for quite a while to their technical team. Any help is much appreciated.

    By using the test socket on the master socket, you should be removing ALL of the home wiring. This is to ensure your home wiring isn't the cause of your problems. Should the home wiring be the cause, then you would be charged for an engineer's visit, somewhere around £130 !!!

  • Issues with Home Hub 3 Wireless. And lousy teleph...

    I don't know if this forum is moderated or followed by BT support staff, but I sure hope so.
    After coming from Virgn Media for my BB to BT infinity (Awesome speeds btw!) I'm pleased with the connection and, up until today, the support. I now have issues with my Wireless devices on the HH3.
    This is the outline of my setup:
    I have the Open reach modem connected to the home hub.  I then have the 1Gbps ethernet port from the home hub that is connected to a 1Gbps 5 Port switch that connects my wired network together (Consisting of my Xbox, Networked Printer and my Desktop PC).  Wireless serves 2 Laptops, an Xperia U phone, and a G5 Ipod touch (not all mine, I have a flat mate).
    My issue is that when more than one device connects via WiFi, the WiFi network has serious issues: The connections don't drop per se, but websites are not delivered, data transfer is intermittant at best - i.e. the WiFi network simply does not work.  When there is only one device, there is no issue.
    Now, being a techie (I don't mean to title drop, but I think it's important that technical support know that I know my stuff) I'm an electrical engineer (The graduate type) and I know my IT - so I have my own idea of what's wrong with this.
    Now, as my order was not completed until yesterday, techincal support couldn't/wouldn't help until today.  Yesterday, however, I spent hours trying to solve my issues and got as far semi-solving the problem.  I managed to get everything working nicely together when Wireless N is disabled and only a/b/g is enabled.  Great, but a main selling point is the Wireless N and I want to use this.
    So, today I phoned technical support.  I should also note here, and I made this perfectly clear with support, that when the WiFi starts to missbehave, the wired network still works perfectly and I have no issues with internet connectivity with any wired devices.  So, clearly this is not a line fault - it's on this side, aka, the router WiFi side where the problem resides.  Support decided to do a line test anyway - and of course it got the all clear.  He then asked me to reset the router (Yey, again after I had done it plenty of times before, only this time I had customised the SSID and the LAN IP addresses and now they need done again).  He then went on to state that I should receive an e-mail with instructions on what to do next, and if they are still issues to reply to a text message that will be sent.
    Duly, an email arrived.  It began with "Sorry you had to call us today about your wireless disconnecting. We’re pleased we could help you get it working again." and continued on with with this theme.  No, my problem is not resolved!  I phoned back, this time advising me to change channels, and check individual devices to see if they're any conflicts - I did this pretty quickly and disabled and re-enabled WiFi on my Laptop, phone, ipod and still to no avail.
    I have now been told that I will get a phone call between 3 and 3:30pm to see if the WiFi will settle down. huh!
    I don't mean to be such a pain and sound like such a git, but this is not an issue that I believe the technical support (via the call centre anyway) will be able to solve.  This is an issue with the HH3, mine at least, not being able to handle mutiple WiFi devices conntected simualtaneously - all but one on N, the other on G.  Now, I'm of the understanding that this shouldn't be a problem.  I'm sick of telephone support going through their script without listening to the whole issue either or beleiving that I spent a good 2 hours yesterday getting to the bottom of this.  I don't need line tests, I don't need resetting the router, I don't need changing channels - I've did all this!
    So it looks as though I'm stuck on HH3 in 'G' for now until we solve this issue.
    Further information: I'm using the type A HH3; again wired devices are not impacted in any way from this issue; I have tried multiple different channels; YES! I've reset the router and power cycled it; And this issue happens wether my WiFi devices are 1 meter away from the HH3 or 15 meters away.
    Could this be a bad HH3 or frimware issue? Can someone suggest something or highlight something that I've perhaps overlooked or missed?

  • Home hub 3 broadband light flashing orange & purpl...

    Hi,
    Broadband has stopped working with a flashing orange & purple broadband light (7 days and counting)
    Have phoned bt but they failed to resolve the issue over phone - resetting, power off/on etc. Tried 4 different branded adsl filters, alternative router but still no connection. Only 1 main socket, no extensions connected, doesn't have a test facility(older style socket). Tried 17070 quiet line test - sounds clear. Phone line test reports zero faults.

    I suspect the issue is at the exchange, has bt disconnected me and plugged someone else in? Any thoughts welcome.

    you appear to have tried everything suggested by BT for purple/orange flashing constantly and not solved the problem.  the help pages then say if that has failed then contact technical support but I would contact the forum mods instead for help

  • Home hub 3 keeps disconnecting ethernet device

    I have a home hub 3 and a iomega home media network hard drive which is connected via one of the ethernet ports on the home hub. On my old Home hub the device connected fine however on my new home hub 3 it connected at first for a day and then disconnected and will not connect again. I menetioned this to the infinity engineer who surgetested I could have one of the older Hubs or it had faulty ethernet ports. I have tryed chaning the ethernet port, but when I look at the advanced settings of the hub and look at connected devices it reports not connected for the Iomega drive. How do I log a fault call to get a replacement hub, or can I force a firmware update. mine has version V100R001C01B031SP09_L_B.
    Please tell me how I can log this online so I do not have to ring India again!
    Yours
    Andrew

    No problem about the delay in replying, as you put my name in the text of you message, I got an automatic alert
    Yes, the problem with the Ethernet ports is in this thread.
    http://community.bt.com/t5/BB-Speed-Connection-Issues/HomeHub-3-LAN-speeds-only-10Mb/m-p/238589/high...
    The long term answer would be to connect your own Ethernet switch to the GigE port, and not to use the other ports.
    I am not sure if the HH3 issue will be solved, as I suspect its a hardware design issue.
