BT Infinity / Home Hub 5 - Replace With Apple Time...

First post, so bear with me!
I've been a long time user of BT Broadband and the subsequent Home Hubs, having used the Home Hub 3, 4 & now 5.
I'd like to rip out the Home Hub 5 and just use the Apple Time Capsule, can this be done or do I still need to keep the Home Hub 5 (All the posts on here seem to allude to BT Customers having a separate white modem, I don't have this, just the router and the two sockets in the wall plug).
There seems absolutely no point buying the Time Capsule if I have to keep the BT Router! Well, maybe there is but I don't want the router and the Time Capsule!!
Can I just plug in the relevant cable from the top wall socket box straight into the Time Capsule, don't know.
Any advice gratefully received!
Many thanks.

no you need a modem as well

  • Home Hub 4 with Apple Time Capsule

    Hi all,
    New to BT and, so far, all OK and really impressed with the speed. Trying to use with an Apple Time Capsule though and an Airport Express (for wireless printer) but no so easy. I have read so many posts about using bridge mode and setting us as follows but it will not work for me!
    1 : 'Connect Using' select PPPoE
    2 : 'Account Name' enter '[email protected]'
    3 : 'Password' and 'verify password' enter a single space (as in press the space bar once). 
    The only way I can get this to work is to choose 'Connect Using' and choosing DHCP instead of PPPoE. 
    Is there a reason why the usual 'Connect Using' PPPoE is not working with my setup - is there something else I am doing wrong?
    Thanks in advance

    Try using BT or anything else rather than just pressing space bar for your password.

  • Replace Home Hub 4 with Netgear DGN2000?

    I recently switched to BT Broadband from NewNet and replaced the Netgear DGN2000 ADSL wi-fi router that I had been using with the Home Hub 4 supplied by BT.
    I am finding that the wi-fi coverage provided by the Home Hub 4 is not as extensive as that provided by the DGN2000.
    Can I replace the Home Hub 4 with the Netgear DGN2000 and, if so, what username and password would be required to access BT?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I would suggest that you start by resetting the Netgear to factory default, to remove any existing configurations. Then start again via the setup wizard, if there is one.
    You normally need to enter a password in the second field, use a password of BT.
    Encapsulation: PPPoA (PPP over ATM)
    Multiplexing Method: VC-BASED
    VPI: 0
    VCI: 38
    Normally if it fails to authenticate, you are automatically directed to a BT Wholesale website.
    I am assuming that you are still on an ADSL connection, and not BT Infinity with the Openreach modem?

  • Infinity Home Hub Datasheet

    Hi does anybody have a datasheet or technical details on the new Infinity Home Hub.  I used to have the old one (black curved one).  This was wireless N, but as it only has 1 aerial I could never get more than 130mbps using wireless, so I changed to a Netgear router with 2 aerials and can get up to 270mbbs which I need with our house.
    So I was wondering what the wireless spec of the new HH is?
    Thanks
    Duncan

    Hi Duncan,
    In This.- http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/wireless-routers/1283386/bt-home-hub-3/specifications
    it mentions 
    Stated speed
    300Mbit/s
    This is the BT info on the HH3 http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/10477/~/user-guides-for-broadband-hardware
    If you have a look around the forum you will notice a few recent posts where people are disappointed with it's wireless performance and have replaced it.

  • Infinity home hub 2

    Well it all went well with the installation, until he plugged the new bt homehub into the openreach modem that is. The broadband light would'nt turn a solid blue, it just stayed orange. Anyway he went to his van and put a home hub 2 with the red ethinet on it, and it works fine. Im now getting 38mb down and 8mb up, with im very happy with. But my main point is, is that when i ordered infinity, they took away my bt talk because they're not compatable with the new hub 3. So surely with this other hub i should be able to get it reconnected right?. I tried registering the old hub phone to the infinity hub and it registered fine. Anyone know about this. Thanks in advance

    Hi Scratch910,
    Thanks for posting. Sorry for the delay in getting back. Once the Infinity has been activated and the Talk switched off we can't reconnect the Talk service because it's not compatible with the Infinity service even though you're using the Hub 2.
    Cheers

  • BT Home Hub 2/BT Infinity Home Hub Backup Files

    Hi Guys, I have a Home Hub 2 with some specific DynDNS and port forwarding settings set up on it. I have just ordered Infinity and was wondering if the Home Hub 2 backup file is compatible with the new Infinity Hub? It would save me a lot of messing about adding all the settings back in again!
    Cheers

    Just ask the engineer, he has software on his laptop which will enable him to copy all setting from old hub to new infinity hub

  • BT Infinity & Home Hub 3

    I've just had Infinity installed over 10 days ago and all appears to be working ok. Getting downloads speeds of around 36-37Mbps when I plugged a laptop into the back of the home hub 3 with the Yellow Ethernet cable.
    But when I run various speeds tests over WiFi the speed is much poorer, no more than 15Mbps. I have tested the speeds with both my laptop (intel Wifi network card) and my desktop PC (NetGear Wifi Network card), both give similar results.
    Using the smart wizard which I installed with my NetGear Wifi drivers (yest they are up to date), I can see that my connection is not conflicting with any other channels in my neighbourhood, but the connection type is (B). I know that both WiFi devices are new and support (G). When I look at the HomeHub router options in the Advanced Settings the options listed are B/G/N. Is there any way I can set the HomeHub to work on (G) ?

    to quote smallnetbuilder
    'Using a 802.11g client with an 11n router will get you a maximum link rate of 54 Mbps and around 22 Mbps of actual, usable throughput.
    The link rate is also referred to as the PHY (or physical layer) rate, which is the maximum rate that bits will move across the network link. For a 10/100 Ethernet adapter, you will usually see a speed of 100 Mbps and for a gigabit NIC, you will see 1000 Mbps (if you are connected to a gigabit switch port).
    The reasons for the big difference between the "link" and actual rates include the high overhead involved in wireless connections (lots of bits used for communicating information other than the actual data you are trying to send or receive) and data retransmission (due to the inherent unreliability of a wireless connection). So maximum usable throughput is a much lower percentage of the link rate, usually 50% or less.'
    Its all about understanding the differnece between physlical link rate to actual data throughput, companys love to quote the high numbers to you.
    heres a nice read on wifi

  • BT Infinity Home Hub 2 Type B(i)

    Hi,
    I just moved from a BT Infinity area to a standard ADSL brandband area.
    BT asked me to re-use my BT Infinity Home Hub 2 Type B(i), but I just can't get it to connect to broadband.
    I plugged RJ11 cable from the purple landline socket to the ADSL socket on the filter, but all I get is power and WIFI lights.
    I suspect BT Infinity Home Hub 2 Type B(i) is not compatible with ADSL broadband, but BT service call centre insists it can.
    Does anyone on here had experience similar? or know technical specs of a BT Infinity Home Hub 2 Type B(i)?
    Thank you.

    have you tried a factory reset of the hub - hold the recessed button on back until lights flash

  • Can I relace my BT Home Hub 2 with an Airport Extreme?

    Can I replace my BT Home Hub 2 with an Airport Extreme?

    No. The HomeHub has a built in modem that must be used to access your Internet service.
    The AirPort Extreme is only a router. It does not have a modem onboard.
    You could the AirPort Extreme with the HomeHub....but not instead of the HomeHub.

    I have bought a WD My Book World Edition to use for back-up of my iMac, but when I try and log onto the drive with Apple time Machine (back-up software) or connect in any other way I get the message 'There was a problem connecting to the server "MybookWorld.local" The version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported. Please contact your system administrator to resolve the problem'
    It is a brand new iMac and running Lion OSX
    Any ideas on how to solve would be gratefully received?

    Followed the directions on this page and it worked!
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1102423
    Part One - Turn on SSH (in the admin panel)
    [1] Go to to http://mybookworld.local
    [2] login: username will be admin, password will be whatever you have setup. If you can't remember it should be in your Mac OS X keychain (Utilities > Keychain Access, search for "mybookworld"). If you have not changed if from the default the password will be admin as well.
    [3] Switch to advanced mode.
    [4] From the System tab, pick Advanced.
    [5] Enable SSH Access, and click submit.
    [6] Click on the network tab and then the LAN button
    [7] Make a note of the IP address
    Small, maybe obvious, but nevertheless important point: For the install to work, your NAS needs to be connected to a router with internet access.
    Part Two - Install netatalk2.2
    [8] Open Terminal.app (Utilities > Terminal)
    [9] Enter the following command (substitute in 127.0.0.1 for the actual IP address you noted down in step 7), then hit return:
    Code: 
    ssh [email protected]
    [10] When prompted, enter the ssh password (will be welc0me).
    [11] You are now going to download the installer. Enter the following command, then hit return:
    Code: 
    wget http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/local--files/netatalk2-2-on-whitelight/install_netatalk.sh -O install_netatalk.sh
    [12] Once completed, you will need to run the installer. Type:
    Code: 
    sh install_netatalk.sh
    [13] You will be asked a number of question during install, answer yes to all. When asked about the "DHX2 login process", I opted to install the modified version, so I can confirm it works.
    [14] Once the box has restarted, you should be able to connect to your afp shares and continue to use Time Machine.

  • HP Deskjet 3070a and BT Infinity Home Hub 2.

    I purchased a HP Deskjet 3070a yesterday and I can't get it to connect to my BT Infinity Home Hub 2. There are 2 ways of connectng to the wireless network:
    1) Push the WPS button on Hub - but the BT Infinity Hub doesn't have one
    2) Enter the 8 digit pin (generated by the printer) into the routers configuration - I can't see anywhere in the Hub to configure this
    I purchased the printer to use Wireless ePrint so if I can't resolve I will return to HP. 
    I see other people have experienced similar problems. I can't believe a standard HP printer has problems connecting to one th UK's most widely used broadband hubs.
    Hope someone can help 
    Brad

    There is a third way to get Deskjet printers on a network.  The primary method of connecting the deskjet to a network is to use the software on the computer to do a USB to Wireless connection.
    What operating system does the computer use?
    The steps to do this for your respective operating system can be found in this document from HP.  The steps start after the WPS method.  USB to wireless will require a computer on the same network and a USB cable to transmit the network data to the printer.
