BT Infinity Home Hub and and BT DECNET digital cor...

I have just had BT infinity installed last week. All appears to be well on the broadband front but not so with the telephony side. The engineer installed the master socket in the study where both the phone line and data line are connected onto the outside wall and directly out to the external cable pair connected to the pole, so no complicated wiring.
I have a BT Diverse 6350 corded (Base Station) and cordless handset (DECT) telephone. The base station is situated in the same location as the Home Hub and the cordless phone is situated downstairs.
i) Before BT Infinity was installed incoming and outgoing calls to DECT phone OK  
ii)  After BT Infinity installed incoming calls received to DECT phone and answered OK but the originating end (caller) cannot hear speech . The called person can hear speech OK. Outgoing calls from the cordless handset appear to be working .
I suspect this may have something to do with the channel frequency of the Home Hub3  and the BT DECT phone but I cannot be seure. Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue would be most welcome.
Many Thanks

First thing that came to mind.... but am sure isn't the problem however have you made sure the MUTE isn't on on the Dect phone?
 Edit ...If mute was on all the time then the outgoing calls wouldn't work as well so it can't be that.
If you are wondering about the HH3  "something to do with the channel frequency of the Home Hub3"
You can TURN OFF the HH3 wireless signal and then try things.
Click on http://bthomehub.home/
Then settings and enter your password.
Then advanced settings.... continue to advanced settings.
Then Wireless tab.
Tick the NO for wireless Enable and at the bottom right of the page click apply.
If that cures it you can then reinstate the wireless and using channel selection move it from Automatic onto a selected channel.
INNSIDER is useful to identify a clear channel.

  • BT Infinity, Home Hub 5 and Vonage VoIP not compat...

    Hi
    I have just (last Wednesday) switched from Sky Broadband to BT Infinity. I have a HH5 to which I wirelessly connect a TP-Link W8968 in wireless router only mode.  I have all this set up and it all works, but I cannot get a dial tone from my Vonage VoIP phone line.
    It did come online for about 12 hours on Friday evening but has dropped off again.  It was plugged into the TP-Link router.
    I have now plugged it directly into the HH5 to try to get a signal.
    I have spent 4 hours on the phone with Vonage who have now told me (4th different person to speak to) after countless 'unplug it' and 'reset it' that the only way a Vonage line can operate with the HH4 and the HH5 is for all BT parental controls from within mybt.com to be deleted.  I have now done this but must now wait 2 hours to plug the Vonage box back in.
    But, I need the parental controls for the children's internet use and do not want to have to delete them.
    Surely there is another way for the Vonage box to work with an HH5?  It worked perfectly through my TP-Link with Sky Broadband.
    Any help gratefully received.
    Thanks in advance.
    Martin

    Giving the VOIP device a static LAN IP address, outside of the DHCP range is best, as the home hubs will quite often issue different addresses via DHCP, and tend to ignore lease times. The fact that it worked for a while would suggest that maybe the LAN IP had changed.
    This page should help with the settings.

  • 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.

  • Home Hub 3 and 4 Connections Limit ?

    Hi All i am very much hoping there is someone expert on issues such as number of connections allowed and home hub interconnecting.
    First things first.  I had a home hub 3 and it kept on dropping the signal.  it went on for several months and many calls to Bangladesh.  Very often the problem was fixed and all reunning perfect ...... for a few days sometimes even a week or so.  Then it was back to This page cannot be displayed or 'No Internet' in the wifi connection window.
    At the beginning the hub would show fault ie the red light would start to flash.  I also had a terible phone line with a lot of crackle.  One of the 'remote fixes' seemed to cure this and from then on the blue light was always on and for a while the signal remained ok.  then it bagan to drop intermittently.
    i also have a connection to a remote part of the garden and run a 40 meter Cat 5 cable from a port on the new homehub4 up to the homehub 3 at the other end.  When i connect this, the home hub3 in the garden receives Internet no porblem but i loose it at the main hub.  no faults are reported and the signal is said to be excellent and 'Internet Access ' is usually displayed.  
    i can often get the first page but then clicking any links gives a page with cannot connect to this page please check the name etc.  if i unplug the lead going down the garden to the homehub3 I get ful connection back.
    I think there is more than one problem but for now i just want to fix this bandwidth sharing issue.  Surely i should not loose connection as soon as i connect to a slave hub down the garden?  it does come and go after then and i will receive the odd batch of email but it is disconnected 80% of the time.
    Anyone any idea what sort of a problem this is?  if it is bandwidth, can i set a limit on how much will go the the slave homehub3?  or can i set priority to the homehub4?  or even to a specific IP address ie my laptop?
    both hubs use dhcp so i did wonder if there was conflict of IP addresses but i dont see how this can be because my connection comes and goes whereas theremote homehub3 stays perfect connection for skype etc.
    Another very interesting aspect was that when i would drop out on the new hub, i could connect to BT WiFi with Fon and got a connection no problem.  Yet that connection must be supplied by my homehub4 so how can it supply me through wifi with fon no problem but not a direct wifi connection when i an literally 2 feet from the router?
    that element has now vanished because the Bangladesh team finally decided it was the new router and sent an engineer to test it.  he concluded it was the router and changed it for one he had with him butthis one does not give any signal for btwifi with fon so I am scr___d !
    absolutely anything appreciated.  I was an IT professional for many years so dont be shy to use technical terms.
    Thanks in advance

  • BT Home Hub 3 and Android 4.2.1 WI-FI issue

    Hi, i'm seeing a really annoying issue on my nexus 4 running android 4.2.1. The wireless works perfectly when i am connected at home to the HH3. Everytime i leave the house and go out of the home hubs range, when i return, the BT HH3 shows as "Not in range" even when standing right next to it.
    As soon i toggle Wi-Fi off then back on on the nexus 4 it connects instantly with a signal strength of excellent. The hh3 is set to channel 13 and looks to be not conflicting with another router on wifi analyser.
    If anyone has seen anything similar on another android device when using a HH3 i would appreciate any feedback or potential fixes.

    I have a HTC Desire with Android 2.1, and a home hub 1, and have no problems. Do you have another router you can try, or perhaps use as an extra wireless access point?
    I do know that people seem to have problems with the HH3, for some reason, but I cannot see why it should be an issue with an Andriod device, as they normally remember wireless settings.
    Channel 13 can cause issues with some devices.

  • Home hub 3 and gaming

    Hey all im new to bt broadband but have a quick query to ask of anyone who can help.
    I live in an area where broadband speeds arent great tbh, when i lived at my parents the download speeds would never go above 1.3 mbps but i assumed that was cos they had a basic bb package with aol. Never the less though even with the poor transfer rates i almost never had a problem with lag when playing games online on my ps3( cod:black ops mainly).
    I have now recently moved out and decided to get my bb through bt as they said that they can give my 10mbps for my area although they was honest and said the reality of the speed would more be in the region 0f 6 mbps but this was still very satisfactory for me.
    At the mo im only getting 2mbps but im aware it can take up to 10days of my line being monitered at the exchange ( which happens to be a 10 min walk tops from the house) before they increase the speed. This im also fine with but heres my problem. At mum and dads i would almost never get lag at all even with my transfer rates being so low but now im running my wireless off the new home hub 3 and with a slightly better transfer rate than my parents house ive noticed online gaming very laggy indeed. Ive tried port forwarding but that still didnt make a difference.
    Can any body else shed some light as to what could be the cause?
    Thanks for reading all of the above i know theres quite a bit to read through lol

    Hi arnie30uk, as Darren said gaming and wireless is never gonna be great. Have you thought about trying one of the units that use your home power cables e.g.
    http://www.google.co.uk/#sclient=psy&hl=en&source=hp&q=network+through+power+outlet&aq=1&aqi=g5&aql=...
    Only thing you need to be aware of with most of these is that both units need to be on the same circuit i.e if you have down stairs sockets on one fuse and the upstairs on another then they may not work.

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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

  • Problems with BT infinity Home hub and Apple TV

    I've just changed over from Sky Broadband to BT Infinity. Broadband speed is about 37 which is fine and when using the Apple TV I have no problems connecting to the Internet for youtube or downloading films but I cannot access my music or films on my Computer in iTunes. It doesn't show up at all under Computer on the Apple TV. Homesharing is turned on and all worked perfectly OK before when using the Sky Router.
    Are there some settings which I need to put in the home hub to allow access to my computer and/or iTunes ?

    I has a similar problem recently with my Apple TV not picking up changes to my network until I had reset it by using the remote and pressing "menu" and "down" for 6 seconds described here.

  • Fed up with resetting my BT Home Hub 3 and it's so...

    I keep having to reset my BT Home Hub 3 because of problems with wireless connections.
    The Hub is close to all the equipment.
    I have lots of things connected to it:
    -          iPhones - Slow not much better that 3G
    -          Blackberrys
    -          Macbook - Very fast
    -          2 Dell Laptops - Slow
    -          New model Panasonic TV – Viera ST50 Series – Has Wireless inbuilt – New this year - Slow + buffering problems
    -          Sky Box connected via Netgear WN2000RPT Wifi Range Extender - Slow + buffering problems
    -          Hard wired PC - Very fast
    All worked fine with my old Netgear Router (before I changed to BT).
    When I first had this Hub (it’s my 2nd) all was OK for a couple of weeks.
    After a while (usually a few days after resetting BT Home Hub) the older Dell Laptop will keep losing its connection.   Once the problem starts the laptop might last for 5 or 10 minute intervals, lose connection and then automatically reconnect, etc, etc.
    I'm will to accept that the Laptop is old, but when the Laptop is playing up the TV plays up too.    The Internet on the TV’s also fails.
    The answer is to reboot the BT Home Hub.   The Laptop and TV are then both OK (for a few days).
    I’m getting fed up with resetting the Hub.   Especially as it has dropped out while watching online TV.
    All the other devices appear OK (maybe slow but remain connected).   Only the older laptop and the TV actually lose connection.   But resetting the BT Hub fixes the problem for a few days.   So the hub is at fault.
    Recently I’ve been getting other problems.   Now whenever I need to reset the BT Home Hub I need to disconnect the Netgear WN2000RPT.   If I don’t  disconnect the Netgear the BT Home Hub appears to start up and connect OK and everything appears to connect to the Hub OK.  But then none of the Internet content works.   Websites don’t work, TV reports no content.
    Now whenever I reset the BT Home Hub I must first turn off the Netgear WN2000RPT.   Previously this never used to be a problem.
    In case compatibility with the Netgear WN2000RPT is an issue I now usually leave it unplugged.   I only turn it on for Internet content from Sky.
    But the problems described above continue even when Netgear WN2000RPT is turned off.
    When playing up the Laptop sometimes shows “Unsecure Connection”.  I wonder if it’s picked up the BT FON connection (but it shows the normal connection).    I suspect the start of the problems may have coincided with the activation of BT FON on the box (could this have taken 2 weeks?).   I’m sure that it was BT FON that completely broke my first BT Home Hub 3, we had had it about a week, then wifi would not connect from anything, after hours on the phone to BT support we could not establish a wireless connection to the Hub, but strangely all was OK on the FON connection.
    We have BT Infinity.
    Hub is generally slow.   Wired Internet is lightning fast.   New Macbook (using Chrome) via wifi is lightning fast.   Everything else disappointingly slow.   TV and Sky both have buffering issues.
    Any ideas?

    The HH3 has the ability to hop around the various Wireless Channels (of which there are 14, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels for indepth info) to enable the hub to pick the best channel for you, taking into account any cordless phones, mobile phones, microwaves etc, all of which could interfere with your wireless signal.
    By reseting you HH3 you are forcing it back to its factory default channel (Channel 7 I guess).  Over a period of days, the HH3 may decide that its default channel isn't the most appropriate and select another channel based on what interference it 'sees'- clearly if it gets this wrong (as my HH3 did) then you potentially get wireless reception issues.
    Consequently, I decided to manually find out what the best channel was by install a wireless scanner (free @ http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/), then:
    1.  Manually change the HH3 Channel (via its settings)
    2.  Check the wireless reception 'power' using inSSider installed on the laptop around your house, ie next to your TV etc.
    3.  When you find the channel that gives you the best wireless reception, tell the HH3 to remain on that Channel by disabling the 'Smart Wireless' feature (there's some info on this @ http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/322​36/~/how-do-i-change-the-wireless-channel-on-my-bt​...)
    As I say, my HH3's range was useless until I forced it to stick to a set Channel, now I have reliable coverage all around the house.  Hope this is some help.

  • Home Hub 3 and iPhone 4 - Problems

    Hi all,
    Firstly appologies for a double post, I posted in the infinity section in error when here's probably better, so if mods see it they can remove that one, unless someone answers!
    Anyways, Just upgraded to infinity and have the home hub 3 after previously using the home hub 2. 
    The Internet is fine, more than fast enough, however I now have a problem that I didn't have previously with my other devices around the home. 
    If I'm on the laptop(s) everything behaves as you'd expect, surf, download, stream whatever alls fine.  However when my daughter goes online with her wii or ds it stops working/locks up when playing online, but the main problem seems to be mine an my partners iPhone 4's. They will both happily surf the net all day long however if either of us try's to download an app that's over about 25mb then it seems to get to about the 25mb area then just locks up and will not download the rest of the app, also if we go on iPlayer, as an example we will get through about 20-30mins then that too will lock and play no more, YouTube is the same, but not as bad as the films etc are normally small. If I try to play/stream the same thing on either laptop it will play flawlessly. 
    Now I appreciate it could be that the wii, ds and two iPhones have suddenly stopped working properly, but seeing as they all worked flawlessly when using the home hub 2 I suspect it's the home hub 3 that's causing the issues, especially as the videos etc will play fine when I use the mobile/3G instead as a test.  
    So anyone else had similar and managed to sort it? Or indeed any ideas, I've already tried changing the wireless channel from 6 to 11 and then to 1, with 11 being the best but still problematic, I could try all the other channels but didn't have the time today before work. 
    As for security settings, its on WPA-PSK the same as it was on the home hub 2.
    So basically right now I'm stumped :-/
    Cheers, Rob. 

    Ok then i've tried a couple of things , with only a marginal improvement.
    1. Started with a power cycle, left it all off for about 10mins > made no noticable difference
    2. Changed from b/g/n to just b/g as not all devices in house are 'n' rated > again cant say that this made a difference
    3. Changed channel to a free one after a inssider scan > this has made a very marginal difference, if indeed its not just fluke.
    Using itunes as an example again on the iPhone, with a radio show thats 2hrs long, by the time its played for around 45mins its starting to reach the end of whats been streamed/downloaded, which to be fair with a speed in excess of 20meg the show should have finished downloading long before then, essentially 45 mins to download an hours worth of the show is hardly awe inspiring or indeed right. Again the same show will download and play fully on the laptop.
    Im still of the opinion that the hub3 is at fault here, as i never had a single issue using the hub2.
    Out of interest can the hub2 be used with infinity and if so how do you wire it, bearing in mind the hub3 has the dedicated red socket, if i can use the hub 2 i can test again and hopefully rule the hub3 or iPhones out of the equation.
    Going to try a full/hard/factory reset later, but is there anything else i can try first?
    Also failing everything is this suitable to replace the hub3 > http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/belkin-f5d8236uk4-wireless-router-802-11-n-4-port-switch-02417713-pdt....
    its compatible with PPPoE, even though we shouldnt have to be replacing hubs etc considering BT provide them specifically for the service.
    Cheers, Rob

  • Wireless Connection Problems for Home Hub 3 and Vi...

    We have upgraded from BT Home Hub 2 to version 3 and had a BT man (engineer) visit to set it up. He did so with no problems on our PC (wired, runnning XP) and installed all relevant software on the PC and this is connected which so far has been fast (enough - as expected) and reliable. Once the 'main' computer in the house was connected we then tried to connect other things to the internet using this BT Hub 3.
    However when attempting to connect our family laptop (running Vista) we hit trouble. Initially I tried to use the icon in the tray (bottom right of the screen) by clicking on connect to a network, then selecting our hub, then inputting the wireless key and going through the menus correctly. It would only connect 'locally' and not recognise the hub. It says identifying then says unidentified (public network BT Hub 3) and only 'local' access which I then change to private network. With my preivious internet I was able to set it up as Home network - now I can only choose between public or private BUT NOT Home, Work or Public.
    So I then tried the BT disc that comes with the hub into the laptop. I go through the menus - it asks is the broadband light steady blue? Yes. Click next to continue wireless set up. So I press continue. It then asks for the wireless network/SSID BTHub3- numbers and letters and the wireless key. So I put that in correctly (double checking) and click next. It then says Connecting to your Hub which then gets ticked but then the checking wireless key doesn't tick - it crosses, and says failed. It asks me to check I typed the numbers and letters correctly (I am sure of that) and It goes to Manuel set up. Where I select my hub and again type in the wireless key and click next. But the same thing happens - connecting to your hub gets ticked but checking wireless key fails.
    I then get a message that says i should do a wired set up, which I can do and works but on the laptop wired solutions is just not satisfactory - laptops need wireless connectivity. Is this a problem with my laptop, Vista or the hub/modem or a combination.
    I also have been able to connect other things to the internet such as a netbook (running Windows 7) and a games console. Please comment if anthing needs explaining or more detail. Your help will be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    John46: I uninstalled the Hub programmes you said to. I then tried to connect to a network (wirelessly - accessed either by going to Start - Connect to or from the icon in the tray (bottom right). I selected my hub and clicked connect. It does its thing and says 'successfully connected to...' I close that and go onto Network and Sharing Center and it shows its trying to identify the network and wait a few seconds it then shows 'unidentified network (public network)...' and that I have only got local access and so cannot surf the web.
    As I mentioned in my earlier post:
    With my previous Internet I was able to set it up as Home network - now I can only choose between public or private BUT not got the choice between Home, Work or Public.
    Hope I've explained myself.
