BT Home Hub Manage Connections and Bandwidth.

Hello, I was wondering if it was possible to manage connections inside BT Home Hub. I am the owner of the hub and can log in to the advanced settings, I see I can turn the wireless off, is there a way to turn the wireless off for specific devices, but keep my laptop wireless on.
What about turning the internet off for specific wired devices, but keeping my computer on.
Third and final question, is there a way I can manage bandwidth useage?
So I can say to these devices, use 10% of bandwidth, and allow the rest to go to my computer.
Thanks, any information would be very helpful.

The simple answer to both your questions one and three is not with the HomeHub - and you might have difficulty finding a router designed for home use that will do both.
You should be able to restrict access to the internet on a machine by machine basis using the parental controls.

  • Cannot connect to Home Hub Manager

    Cannot connect since I renamed my 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channels.
    I used a space and bracket which I don't think works - i.e. BTHomeHub (2.4GHz)
    However I cannot now access the Home Hub Manager to rename the networks.
    I have tried to access via:
    api.home
    192.168.1.154
    bthomehub.home

    I suggest you try a factory reset of the hub

  • 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.

  • BT Home Hub Manager problems.

    Hello BT,
    I am currently having problems connecting to the BT Home Hub Manager.
    I have tried the following:
    api.home
    192.168.1.254
    http://bthomehub.home/
    These all end up with the connection timing out because it's taking too long to respond. All other websites are working fine and well for me. I've also tried this on Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari web browsers.
    Also, I have asked a few other people in my area I know who are with BT and they are not getting the same problem as me.
    Kind regards,
    Ryan.

    The HH internals sometimes get in a tangle, and if you happen to have made any changes to the various settings, that can sometimes compound matters.
    Try doing a Factory Re-set (paperclip into small hole at side of hub) and see if that resolves matters. Doing a re-set will remove any settings that you may have applied, so be prepared to make the settings again if necessary. The re-set also restores the default wireless settings which are displayed on a label on the back.
    If that does not solve it, you may need to ask for a replacement HH.

  • Home Hub 5 - Connection dropping several times dur...

    Hoping someone wiser than me in matters of broadband can help! 
    Like others here since having BT Infinity installed in December, I have been plagued with connection problems. We did have an engineer out in Feb who replaced the main socket and it was marginally better.  In the last 6 weeks my connection has been dropping several times a day and it's getting very annoying.  THere isn't a problem with speed, etc when it's working but it just keeps dropping.  Here's the data from the helpdesk page on my home hub manager.  Have just noticed that the last update of the firmware was 20/01/15 so am wondering if this is problem as I know there was an update being rolled out back in February for the 5A hub?  
    Any advice as to how to facilitate that? I have just reset the router but nothing seems to have changed

  • BT Home hub not connected message

    We use my wife's XP sp3 laptop wirelessly at home, but when we use it away from home on a 'paid for' wireless providers network (as no BTFon is avaliable at that location), we occasionally get the BT Home hub not connected message come up in an IE page. How can it be turned off, there is no solution in BT FAQs?
    Regards

    Go to Solution.

    Just for good measure, I would install another web browser while you still have internet access. Then if you have the same problem, try the other web browser and see if that works.
    I noticed that you said it says that the Hub is switched off. This is the message that appears when there is no internet connection at all.
    Maybe the WiFi had dropped and there was no signal for a small period of time, then when it went to go to the 'page cannot be displayed' screen it redirected you to the 'hub is switched off' message because it had been cached previously.

  • Infinity 2 BT Home Hub 3 connection dropping issue...

    Hello,
    For over 2 months now I have been experiencing problems with our Home Hub 3 restarting and dropping the connection.
    It car happen up to 6 times an hour or may be OK for up to 12 hours.
     We have had 3 new HH3 routers, three engineer visits, numerous speed checks, line checks (all OK) and calls to 08001114567. As of today nothing has resolved the issue.
    I have changed channel, have Openreach Modem & HH3 powered via a UPS, all connections have been checked and all leads changed. I have now lost all confidence in both Level 1 & Level 2 helpdesk. I am considering buying a non BT router to see if that overcomes the issues, but I don't see why I should have to, as I pay for a service from BT which I am not receiving.
    Can anyone offer any advise.

    I have a pc and a laptop connected wirelessly to homehub 3. connection is fine having swapped the hub for a new one.
    The problem I have now is that when i go into hh manager on the laptop, I cannot enter a password to get to settings.
    I get admin as user and cursor won't work  in password panel.
    On the pc it works fine. It's no biggy as I can acess settings on the pc but anyone know why it is happening?
    This is the screen I get. Different to the usual one.
    To prevent unauthorised access, your BT Home Hub's settings are protected by a password. To change the settings in your BT Hub Manager, you'll need to enter your admin password, then click the 'OK' button on this page. Please remember the password is case sensitive.

    Swapped from a what version hub? It does sound like you may of been using a v1 or v1.5 hub prior to using the hub3
    What happens if you go to saved passwords on your laptop, locate the 'admin' one, make a note of it just in case and delete it. Does this allow you to access the hub manager now?

  • Home Hub 3 - Connection dropping from N to G?

    Hello all; I hope someone can help me with this!
    I have recently installed the new Home Hub 3 (replacing a Home hub 1).  I have it connected by wifi to a Mac which has a built-in 802.11 connection.  The reason I changed to Home Hub 3 is that next month I am getting a digital box for the TV which works best using a 802.11 N connection speed.
    Normally, the connection is by 802.11 N (I can see this on the Mac SysInfo), and I get a solid 5 bar connection.  However, sometimes this drops to 1 or 2 bars, and the wifi speed drops from N to G.  When this happens, I cannot change it back to a N speed without rebooting.  
    Does anyone know what might be causing this?  It seems to be random.  The computer is not moving, and is only about 12 feet from the Home Hub with clear air in between.  Is it likely to be the Home Hub which is causing the change, or the Mac?  Is there anyway to "lock" the Homehub to only broadcast on N?
    Thanks for any answers.

    the only problem changing the BT Home hub 3 wireless channel manually it stops the new software from finding the best channel one of the features of the new hub. they advise this in the product page details (section taken shown below).What i found was to experiment hub positions my example i have 3 story house so i placed the hub on the second floor away from fridge /microwave/ wireless phone etc on the 1st floor.  the wireless computers are on floor 2 & 3, it improved reception by 50%. the computer down on floor 1 is connected by ethernet.
    Change wireless channel
    Your Hub is always monitoring the wireless channel it’s using and if it detects too much 
    interference it will automatically change to another channel. If you want to manually 
    change to a channel of your choice, follow the steps below, but this will stop the 
    automatic channel selection feature. 
    1 Access Hub Manager by typing bthomehub.home into your web browser. 
    2 Click Settings.
    3 If asked, enter your Hub Admin password. You’ll find this on the bottom of your Hub.
    4 In the Basic Settings menu, click Change the wireless channel to avoid interference.
    5 Click the Refresh button.
    6 Wait a minute for your device to pick up the new channel.

  • BT Home Hub 2-287C and BT Openzone/BT Fon

    This is my first  posting.
    My home hub has recently been intermittently "taken over" by BT Openzone.
    I have followed  instructions from the Openzone homepage, later from BT Broadband Desktop Help, and later BT Broadband telephone help line. They all help temporarily, then I get "taken over" again.
    Can anyone help me get rid of this nuisance? I use an Acer Aspire 5920 laptop running Vista Home Premium. 

    You say that opt out can take a while - that gives me some hope, albeit I never opted in in the first place!
    I get the feeling I am connecting to a neighbour's Fon because sometimes there is a "battle" where it seems it could go either way.
    I have repeatedly given my hub priority in wireless settings and/or removed Openzone and Fon, but sometimes they reappear before I've even left that window.
    When I do land on Fon, it is only when I go to IE from the ikons. It never happens while I am online via my usual homepage (BT Yahoo).
    Any further thoughts would be welcome.  

  • Home Hub Ethernet Connections

    Have had the BT home hub 1 for years with 3 PCs connected via Ethernet & USB connections (wireless is useless as house is 170 yrs old with 15 inch thick walls that have defeated all wireless attempts). Now that I have vision there are not enough connections. An alternate provider is offering a similar speed unlimited service with a 4 Ethernet port hub and although it is far cheaper I've always had reasonable service from BT and don't really want to change (Mug?). Is there any way that a further connection can be made from the current hub or does this spell the end to an account I've had for many years?

    Have tried the ethernet thru the mains and it is too slow!   I have Cat6 ethernet from all four ports on the BT Hub Mk2 and each one terminates at NetGear Gigaswitches providing 4 further ethernet ports on each.  Yes that is 16 ports! They are all in use and I find that shifting large Jpegs and large video files around are no problem.  As well as the PC's, Printers, NAS drives etc., there is the BT Vision (Freeview), Humax PVR (Freesat), Blu-ray and Freesat TV to contend with.  NetGear Gigaswitches (GS605) are very cheap from Amazon at the moment and do not require any setup whatsoever....  having struggled to get Ethernet over the mains and wireless thru floor and walls, I know which 100% dependable route I prefer

  • Reading Area - Home Hub 5 - Performance and Phone ...

    Hi Folks
    Looking for some advice.  Engineer installed Home Hub 5 on 29 Aug.  Engineer assured me that once the systems sorted themselves out, my speed would go from 15MB on installation to around 25MB
    Instead of which speed dropped to 8MB and the Phone stopped ringing on incoming calls.  Called BT, sent an engineer who said it was the voltage thing at the exchange and he switched me to a different circuit.  Phone started ringing.  But still only 8 MB.
    In addition, my wireless connections are fine, but my ethernet connection fails.  At which point, it seems I have to shutdown the Desktop (Windows 7 ) , and then re-start the Home Hub, and then switch on the Desktop - and it, more often than not comes back.  NIC drivers are up to date.
    Today, phone rings continuously on an incoming call.  Incredible interference on the line.  Speed test shows...
    8.04 MB from Exchange to House, 7.01 MB download.
    Are these connected?  Anyone else had trouble connecting to Ethernet.  Any advice gratefully appreciated.

    Two further things that might be relevant.
    1) The BT engineer who visited to mend the phone took the adsl filter of the socket. Said there was a built-in filter.
    2) I have a grey box on the outside of the house which the phone line comes into.  It's probably 20 years old.  There are wires coming out of that for extensions in the kitchen and a bedroom.  So the externsions do not come out of the Master Socket - if that is what the sub-contractor installed.

  • 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 !!!
