Access Home Hub remotley

Hi all,
How can I access my BT Home Hub and all other devices on the network. I was thinking VPN but I dont know how to do it. Teamviewer was just not cutting it
I have a BT Home Hub 4

VNC is going to be the only one that is simple to setup, and does not require professional versions of Windows.
Its also "cross-platform" and there are versions for other OS.
Each computer would need to have its own port number, typically port 5900 5901 5902 etc.

Can I add additional link to "Other links" section of TFS web access home hub page

Hi,
Is it possible to add additional links to Other link section of TFS web access home hub page?
Thanks in advance,
Hazeq.

>Do you see any issues if I modify this page? What will happen when TFS updates happens, there are no issue in these scenarios? Currently
I have TFS 2013 with update 4.
I didn't see any issue. but when you need to upgrade your tfs, your website also need to be upgrade.
so I think the code you made will disappear.
>Can I also use Jquery over here? How should I add jquery library reference?
sure, you can do everything you want with jquery. just copy it into the sub-folder and reference it.
!!!Backup your website before you update the code.

Accessing Home Hub 4 with windows 8.1 and Internet...

Hello
I can no longer access my home hub manager wirelessly running windows 8.1 and Internet Explorer 11 from my toshiba laptop by either typing in the IP address or by http://bthomehub.home/. I can still access it by either method from a laptop running windows XP. I have Infinity and Home Hub 4a. This problem has arose recently and I did upgrade from windows 8 last week so could this be the problem. Has anyone any suggestions?
Regards
Adrian
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Seems to be a Network Adapter problem for most people, and usually updating the driver works.
If you have just installed 8.1/8.1 pro, you will typically need to install your motherboard and other driver software. After you have done this, most people can access the internet, but have problems with the bt hub ip/url access link.
To update the Network Adapter(s) use the following steps:
1. search for Device Manager, and open it up
2. Select/expand Network adapters, and the adapter(s) on your machine should show up.
3. Right click on the adapter(s) that appear and select 'Update Driver Software'
4. It should come up with 2 options - select 'Browse my computer for driver software'
5. The next screen should come up with the default location for your machine, so just click the next button on the bottom right of this window.
6. Your network adapter(s) will appear, and just select 'update driver software' and the latest version will be installed.
7. That should fix most problems right away - if not, your machine (including hub and router) may need switched off and back on.
I can't guarantee it will fix every problem, but the most common problem seems to be that the latest network adapter drivers needs a manual update after installing 8.1/8.1 pro, even after you install your motherboard / ethernet drivers.
If you still experience problems accessing bt hub or internet, you can try this additional step:
1. On your keyboard press Start + X keys (or microsoft logo key + X)
2. This should open up system options dialogue box at the bottom left of your screen.
3. Select Command Prompt (Admin) option.
4. In command screen (old DOS screen) type the following: ipconfig /release (there is a space between config and /)
5. This will release your ip address back into the network and cut your connection (don't worry)
6. Whilst still in command screen, flush the dns cache - type: ipconfig /flushdns (space here again also)
7. type exit to get out of command screen.
8. Switch off your pc, and switch it off at the wall, also switch off router & bthub.
9. Wait a few mins before flicking switches back on at the wall only - dont switch on pc yet - wait a min or so then switch on pc.
10. You may need to run through the updating network adapter drivers again from the steps at the top - although this should not be needed.

Unable to access Home Hub 3.0 router

For some reason I am unable to access the router.
I normally type 192.168.1.254 into the address bar but have started getting the 'Internet Explorer cannot access the web page message'. Doesn't work on Chrome or Safari either.
This was working fine up until a couple of weeks ago - any ideas?

Hi apollo9 and welcome
Try clearing your browser cache (on all 3) or power the hub down for a minute or two, switch it back on, allow all the lights to go blue and try again.
also fwiw, bthomehub.home should work too

How to use Home Hub 3 as a 2nd router(access point...

Hi guys hope you can help; I am trying to add my Home Hub 3 as a 2nd router (ie an access point) to my home network and struggling.
What am I trying to achieve.
I have a fully functioning home network which is working great but the wireless range does not extend to the room above my garage, some distance away from the main house. I currently service it with an Ethernet link from my E4200 router, via the mains wiring, to link to a PS3 there. But I want to extend this to have a wireless network in the remote room so I can link multiple devices - rather than spend more money, deploying a 2nd router which I already have is preferable.
What have I got.
I have a Linksys E4200 router (nice piece of kit) attached to my ADSL line via a Belkin N1 wireless modem-router set to “modem only” mode (I was using a DSL modem until yesterday but that went AWOL and digging out the Belkin router I saw that it had a modem only function – and it/they worked first time )
All of my gear in the house is attached wirelessly to the E4200 which is delivering circa 11.5mbps from a maximum of 12.5mbps for the line measured by BT onsite. So all is fine there.
What have I done to try and use the HH3
Linked an Ethernet cable between one of the Ethernet ports on the E4200 to a mains plug.
Linked an Ethernet cable from a mains plug to one of the Ethernet ports on the HH3 router.
Ie as the PS3 was linked.
3. Switched on the HH3 router: the power light is solid blue, the wireless light is solid blue, the broadband light is off
4. Connected my laptop to the HH3 network and loading up a web page on IE9 displays a web page from bthomehub.home/etc etc with title BT Home Hub and a message “Can’t connect to Broadband”. It is the start of a self- diagnostic routine. Answering all the questions I eventually get a Home Hub Administrative Home Page displayed.
Is there a quicker way of getting to this admin page??
5. I switched off DHCP
I changed the IP address from 192.168.1.254 to 192.168.1.200 as this seems to be what the other threads on this subject did.
When I went to apply the change a message came up telling me that I might not be able to access the HH3. I ploughed on disregarding this and needless to say I could not then access the HH3 via the web interface and trying to access a web site nothing happened.
6. I did a hardware reset on the HH3
7. Going through the motions again, when I got to the admin pages again, I switched off DHCP and this time left the IP address alone, ie 192.168.1.254.
When I went to apply this I got the message
“After changing these settings you will need to renew the IP address of all devices connecting to your BT Home Hub. Please follow the instructions provided with your devices.”
I applied the change – but have not yet done any fooling around with IP addresses on my laptop because I don’t want to start mucking around with my laptop
I then tried to access a website, and failed, but on this occasion rather than nothing happening, the Home Hub website came up again displaying the error message page.
And that is where I stand. All looks so easy when reading other threads on this and other forums but it is not working for me.
Any help greatly appreciated.
The IP settings on the E4200 are
IP 192.168.1.1
Range 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.149
Also connection type on the E4200 is POE not POA – as far as I recall that is what it needed to be to connect to the DSL modem and work.

Thanks for the speedy reply!
I have actually came across this page before - I seem to hit a snag when I connect the repeater hub (my HH3). As outlined, I have at all times kept the repeater hub connected via ehternet into one of the regular LAN ports to my main HH5.
But when I connect my laptop to the repeat hub (HH3), I am actually connected to the internet somehow (I assuem using the HH5 network) but under my network connections it says I am connected to the HH3. As a result, when I go to the homehub settings page 192.168.1.254, it brings me to the main HH5 settings page and not the repeater HH3.
According to the instructions it says I should "Ignore the not connected page", but I am connected and I cant seem to alter any of the settings on my HH3 while it is connected to the HH5.
Any other pointers?
Thanks!

No Internet access BT Home Hub 5

I have a problem that has just occurred over the last 3 days. My computers, BT vision box, sky box and NAS connected to my home hub 5 via ethernet or powerline have no Internet access, they will at times see the NAS, although currently they do not. Occasionally they will get Internet access via wifi. All my other devices, smart phones and tablets are fine, via either 2.4ghz band or 5ghz band. No problems here.
On occasion attempting to access a webpage on wired devices I get a message that there has been a dns server error. Until 3 days ago everything worked fine since the purchase of the hub 5 4 months ago. I have so far tried:
1. Restarting the hub
2. Resetting the hub.
Neither have worked.
Any help appreciated.
Steve.

Hi, thanks for the post. I've just tried to follow the instructions you've provided and on both my windows 7 and 8.1 machines the only option offered is to manage wireless connections. Is this unique to Windows 7 and 8? I don't seem to have the option to manage wired connections?
I've lost wired links to my Sky box and other devices again. Wireless remains solid...

Home hub 3 as second router (access point) - anyon...

Hi all, I have my infinty connection from the modem to a netgear wndr4500 cable router. I am trying to get a better signal upstairs but using the home hub 3 as a secondary router / wifi point (connected to the netgear with homeplugs). I have done all the necessary changes such as disabling dhcp on the hh3 and changing its ip address to one on the same network as the netgear but outside of its dhcp range (192.168.1.254). uPnP is enabled on both routers. I can log into the settings page on the hh3 and it even tells me the list of devices on the network in its network diagram (all connected via the netgear). I can connect the hh3 wirelessly but cannot reach the Internet. Anyone help me out? Edit: since typing this I cannot connect to the hh3 wirelessly anymore as it will not assign an ip address. Oh and Ethernet cable is LAN port to LAN port.

Thanks Keith for the guide.
Once I printed it, I just walked myself through and it appears to have worked! This morning I had a few concerns about accessing a network storage area connected to the main hub, from the slave, but my concerns were unfounded. I found the same with the printer. Without the slaved access, the printer's wifi connectivity throughout the house was patchy. Connected to the slave, it seems back to a solid thing again.
Now just the Sure Signal to sort out. Does anyone have experience with Sure Signals and this sort of arrangement? I acutally think the issue with that is the HH5, rather than the master/slave arrangement.

Connect Netgear access point to Home Hub?

Before I switched to using a Home Hub 2, I was using a Netgear router/modem (DG834G).
And I also had a Netgear WPN802 access point connected to the DG834G router/modem (via ethernet cable), and this enabled me to connect to internet using wifi from another location in my house. Just seemed to work.
But I can't seem to get this to work with the Home Hub. When the access point is plugged in to the Home Hub, it doesn't seem to show up in the Devices part of the Home Hub, and I can't connect to the access point via its default IP address (192.168.0.231). I can't see anything in the Home Hub to configure to make this work. On the access point, the ethernet light is lit, which suggests that it can "see" something on the other end of the cable (and the light goes out when I unplug the other end from the Home Hub).
Any hints?
Thanks.

You will need to change the default IP address of the Netgear WPN802 so that it is in the same subnet as the home hub.
The full details on how to do this are here http://kbserver.netgear.com/pdf/wpn_802_ref_manual.pdf
Look at page 23 and change the IP address in the Basic settings.
You could change it to 192.168.1.231 if you wish. It would still not show on the home hub because it is manually assigned. But it should work fine.
I have an additional Belkin wireless access point on my hub, which uses the address 192.168.1.200, and that works fine.

I have a BT Home Hub 2.0 and for some reason I can now not access the Hub Manager from my laptop pc, which is running on Windows XP
Everything was fine until about a week ago when we had issues using the PS3 as this also was not connecting.
I also have the same problem with my Samsung Galaxy phone which also will not connect
I have tried rebooting, turning off, but I just can not get into the hub manager screen.
Hope to hear from somebody soon please . . .

BT home hub access from outside LAN

I have set up my home hub so that I can access my Nas from outside my LAN, this works fine.
My problem is I need to access my home hub settings and set up proxy settings so that I can access BBC iplayer etc as I am abroad for the next few weeks and I forgot to do it before I left.
Whenever I try to connect to the hub I go straight to the Nas
How can I get to the home hub without being at home to change the settings ?

I had the same problem, using Firefox. My home network was working fine until BT installed a new homehub and it took a little while for me to discover the problem: an IP Address conflict. My previous Router used the stanard http://192.168.0.1 address, whereas the BT Homehub uses http://192.168.1.254. Ordinarily that wouldn't matter, except that I have TP-Link wireless access unit on the FreeSat box, which just happens to have the same default address used by BT.
I changed the IP address on the TP-Link unit and the BT Homehub pages now respond instantly.
Hope this helps.

Restricting Wireless Access using BT Home Hub

Hi
I am trying to set up my BT home hub so that my daughter can only have limited access (fed up with her being on FB 24/7!)
I thought I had done by using the set up access mode, but I have a feeling that this is not working all the time. Has any one else managed to successfully do this?
Thank you for reading and would be grateful of any advice as this is driving us to the brink!

Did you follow the intructions on this site?
http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/11364/~/what-is-bt-access-control-and-how-do-i-set-it...
Are you sure that she is not simply bypassing it via the hub manager?
You could change the hub manager password.

Accessing BT Home Hub/IP address when away from ho...

MY problem is this.
I have a website which uploads data via ftp. However, I am away at the moment and my router has done a reset or perhaps there has been a power cut and because of this a new IP address will have been allocated. Is there any way I can find this out remotely either by accessing my Home Hub or some such?

You can access your network when away for home by registering with a dynamic DNS service. You can then register the service in your router.
Then every time your router gets a new IP address it informs the dynamic DNS service. You then access your network using the domain name provided by the DNS service, e.g. http://yourname.dyndns.org.
I use this to access web services provided by my servers when away from home. These servers sit behind my router.
