Bt Infinity Hub and SONOS

I have infinity and it's fast GREAT
Yet when I connect my SONOS Zone player to it it is not recognised?
Is ther a incompatability issue with SONOS and the infinity Home Hub ??

What a shame I have to leave my old wireless router plugged in just so that I can use the shared printer.
Is there a reason this is disabled?

  • BT Infinity, Netgear6300 and Sonos

    I have just swapped a BT HH3 router for a Netgear R6300.  All PC's, tablet computers, phones connect fine to the new router with super fast connectivity on the 5G network. However when I hardwire in my Sonos system, everthing goes awry.
    There is a Play 5 is connected to router, and NAS to the Play 5.  2 further Sonos amps connected wirelessly to the Play 5.   I can no longer access internet radio, plus the various PCs and Ipads around the house start to lose their wireless connections (which go to "Limited Connectivity".  If I unplug the Play 5 from the Netgear router the rest of the wireless network works fine, replug it in, network to the PC's.  Also, when the system is connected up to the Netgear router I can no longer see the NAS from any PC's - reappears if I go back to HH3.
    I've cycled the power on all the Sonos units/PCs etc between each router changer over.
    The Netgenie app indicates that all the PC's connect fine to the router, it's more that the onward connection to the Openreach modem falls over when the Sonos is connected ? 
    Any ideas please ?

    The 330/20 product was withdrawn by Openreach last month.
    BT still advertise a 300/20 product (http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/products/bro​adband/packages?fttp=yes) so is either a mistake or capped upload.
    My neighbour is on Infinity 4 and looking at his speed tests, it looks a capped upload to me.

  • Bt Infinity hub and USB printing

    Hi all.
    I have recently got BT Infinity and the new homehub required. I am liking the service though the new hub does not allow me to plug a printer into the USB port on the back.
    I know the homehub does not officially support printing, but my previous homehub (version 2) allowed me to plug a printer into the usb port and use 192.168.1.253 as an ip address.
    When I plug the same printer into the new infinity hub the homehub page says that nothing is connected to the usb port. If I plug a flash drive into the port it is recognised straight away.
    When I plugged my printer into the usb port of the old version 2 homehub the hub page recognised the printer was plugged into the usb port and even gave the name and model of the printer.
    Has anything changed that for the infinity hub that would make adding a usb printer impossible? Does anyone else with infinity have a usb printer plugged into the back of their hub? If so how did you get it to work?
    Any help/info on this matter would be grately appreciated.

  • BT Infinity Hub and PS3 connection problem.

    Hi
    I have had my BT Infinity installed today, my laptop, desktop and Iphone have all connected no problem, but my PS3 will not let me connect for some reason? It sees the hub, I enter the key but then it will not find the IP address?
    I have done a bit of research and it seems the PS3 doesnt support 802.11N? But others say this shouldnt make a difference as it is backward compatible? Any help or suggestions appreciated.
    Thanks

  • BT Infinity Hub

    Can anybody shed some light on this matter as the BT TECHNICAL HELPLINE does not appear to be able to answer a simple question. Can an IP Based PoE phone be connected to a BT Infinity Hub and if so how is it connected ?.

    PPP authentication is done by the BT home hub 3, so PPPoE would not be needed to be enabled on the phone.
    If you mean POE (Power over Ethernet), then the home hub does not supply any power on its ports, you would have to add your own power insertion splitter and power supply, like the TP-link TL-POE200.

  • 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 2 and D-Link Powerline connectors

    My main PC is connected to my BT Home Hub 3 using D-Link DHP-307AV/B 200 MBPS PowerLine connectors. I switch off the PC at night. Since around the time of upgrade to BT Infinity 2, I normally don’t get Internet connectivity when I switch on my PC in the morning. This problem can generally be cleared by powering down the D-Link adapter connected to the Hub and powering it up again. Has anybody else experienced this problem and, if so, know if there is any solution to it?

    Hi,
    My line is stable so does not loose sync, plus I usually do not turn off the Hub overnight.
    I did that on friday night, and left it on since saturday when I woke up (very late). Nothing has changed...
    The BT Speed Test also shows an horrible upload speed, that however is not true. On Speedtest i manage to get 63/18, with a slighlty higher ping than usual. I've always managed to get 75/19 (or more)

  • BT Infinity 2 and Master Socket.

    Hello all. We ordered our BT infinity 2 and telephone line and they said the engineer will be coming on the 13th to set things up. After looking through the installation of BT infinity I found out that it has to be connected to a master socket. This is my problem.
    My master socket is located right next to my main door and there is an extention socket in my bedroom. Can I have the master socket moved during installation ? Having a bt hub where you keep your shoes looks odd. Will the engineer relocate the master socket or change the extention socket into a a master socket or I shouldn't be expecting anything ?

    Reading through some of the posts, a lot of the installation depends on whether you get a decent engineer, luckily I did.
    My master socket was in a downstairs room and my study / office is in the room right above it. I explained to the engineer what I wanted / needed. He was a bit hesitant as he said it meant him having to drill through an external wall, No it won't as I already have a hole that talkes an extension from the master to the study, right easy he says he could convert the extension to the master and make the old master socket the extension. Great, cup of tea and a few hob nobs later job done.
    If the engineer can not do what mine did he should fit a 30m extension lead to the master socket and you can plug the hoem hub to this, my understanding is that the extension cable is pinned to skirting or wall they will not lay kit under carpet.
    Good luck

  • Cable between hub and modem

    Hi I had infinity installed yesterday. The engineer installed the hub & modem in my hallway. I explained that my existing setup comprised of 3 desktop computers in the loft and two laptops. From the main bt socket in the hall a cable runs up to the first floor. The engineer said he could fit the hub and modem on the first floor which I did not want as it was in a bedroom by the door. He installed the equipment and connected a laptop using the wireless connection @ 20mb explaining that I could hardwire my desktops if I wanted a faster speed. My question is: Would it be possible to replace (extend) the red etherent cable from the hub to the modem so that I could have the hub in the loft or will I have to run 3 seperate ethernet cables from the hub in the hallway up to the loft. Any help is appraciated Thank you in advance. (sorry I posted this in the wrong form yesterday)

    i also had to use a longer ethernet cable from my PC to my hub,about 10ft which i bought on the net,i can give you the web address if needed for ethernet cables.
    Q. There is smoke coming out of my open reach box... so can I have a new one.
    A. Sorry sir, The fault is showing at the exchange so your box should be ok.

  • Infinity Hub 3.0

    Hi there, I have had BT Infinity less than a year so far, the service has been great. However the Infinity Hub 2.0 seems to crash on the wireless side quite often, I have to reset it quite regularly.
    Is the wireless any better now on the Hub 3.0?
    How do I get one of these new Hub 3.0's? Can I get one for free?
    Thanks
    Dan

    @Gonzo:  BT probably had a large stock of HomeHub3B with out of date firmware, so on install you start with this out of date firmware.  This should be updated automatically pretty soon.  I don't know exactly how they are managing the updates to recently installed out of date equipment that missed the initial update cycle, but they must be allowing for it, and for equipment that happened not to be plugged in when the initial cycle happened.
    You can check by looking at the HomeHub page http://192.168.1.254/.  At the bottom it will say "Software version V100R001C01B031SP12_L_B" if it has been updated, and something similar with SP09 in if it hasn't.
    If the need for reboot persists after software update, or you don't get the update in the next week or so, or you already have the update and it still isn't working, post again.

  • Infinity Hub

    hi guys,
    Am getting infinity on 2nd March. Just wanted to see what the general consensus/feedback is on the infinity hub (presumably also know as the Hub 3?). My current setup is using a Hub v2.0 type A (tried a type B but wireless was awful). It's wireless range is okayish but not great. Our main socket is in the lving room downstairs whilst my study/converted bedroom) is upstairs about 15 metres away. The wireless is a bit up and down reaching into the study. Flickers between 18 mbps to 54 mbps and even a cryptic '1.1gbps????' at times and as such the download speeds are a bit all over the place. As low as 1 mbs, as fast as 8.7 mbps. So I guess the walls are blocking out quite a bit. I have tried every wireless channel possible, 11 seems to be the best but it's still not fantastic. Our main bedroom at the far side of the house is even worse, right on the cusp of the wireless range methinks. It will work in there but drops quite a bit and as one of the missus' favourite pastimes is surfing on the iPad sitting in bed it's not ideal really.
    So I guess what I am asking is whether the infinity hub yields much improvement in the wireless department? It would have to serve a mix of 'G' and 'N' devices. Would an independant router be better once infinity is installed be better, any recommendations? Is their a guide to BT settings that need inputting should I use a 3rd party router?
    Thanks in advance,
    Wayne

    look on the forum there is a ton of posts on all these issues including a recent one by me! Just for a starter I would try and set the wireless channel to one that is not shared by anyone around your immediate area. Cuts out interference. Secondly and so far its proving right, wireless N on this router is broke, switch it to B & G only and see if there is any improvement? So far its sorted out my issues. Currently waiting on the HH3 coming out and then I`m gonna complain and see if they will replace the router. Its not fit for using wireless N which is **bleep** all use when you have 40mb infinity!

  • I can't print wirelessly using Airport Express.  I have my HP printer connected to a USB hub, and the hub to the Airport Express, but when I select the HP from the printer list, my MacBook says the printer is "off-line" - even when it is not.

    Hi,
    I am currently replying to this as it shows in the iChat Community.
    I have asked the Hosts to move it to Snow Leopard  (you should not lose contact with it through any email links you get)
    I also don't do Wirelss printing so I can't actaully help either.

  • How can I create my own network in my dorm? (Using Airport Extreme + ethernet cable) (To connect AppleTV and Sonos successfully with no restrictions)

    So I recently set up my Apple Airport Extreme Router in my dorm and have a BIG problem. It works and lets me do most things on my own network, but when I try doing things on my external devices connected to the network (Apple TV and Sonos Hi-Fi Sound system) the connection just doesn't go through. I'll give two examples.
    After setting up my Sonos system successfully, I was prompted to update the software so I can use options that need internet access such as pandora and soundcloud. It just didn't work at all. It gave me an error that had to do with internet connection. I tried numerous times.
    On Apple TV, I used AirPlay on my phone to mirror what I was seeing on my phone and then tried to play youtube, soundcloud, and other music apps and none of them worked.
    My guess is that it has something to do with my school's restrictions on streaming or downloading. But none of this stuff is actually restricted so I know it must be due to the transfer of information between my network (which is connected to the school's network I am assuming, since my ethernet port is in my dorm wall)  and my external devices.
    Honestly I'll probably get the "Your school has these restrictions answer", but I know there is a way to fix this and I really want the answer!!
    Thanks,
    Andres

    You don't need the AirPort Express to do this.
    You can set your Mac to share it's wired connection over the wireless port and the iTouch can connect directly to the Mac.
    You could also do it with the AirPort Express, but you don't need to - it's overkill for what you've described.

  • BT Infinity 2 and high ping rate

    I am having a problem with my BT Infinity2.  I am getting high ping rates some as high as 181 ms.  I have download speeds of 15 meg and 8-9 meg upload.  This is through the router wired to my computer.  I was told that I should be able to get somewhere in the region of 77 meg.  This is nowhere near and needs to be sorted out.
    It doesn't matter what time of day I do the speed test it is always the same.  If I try and play my Football Manager 2012 game online I can't as my connection just kicks me back off the steam server.  If I try and watch a programme on Iplayer or ITV player ther programmes are fuzzy, blocking and unwatchable, also with the buffering is beyond a joke.

    micksea173 not good and you have my sympathy
    Try rebooting both the hub and the modem. Run the BT Speedtester to get your IP Profiles and  http://www.speedtest.bbmax.co.uk/ to get an accurate speed test. Pings are very dependant on the site you are measuring a ping of 181 for a server in LA could be quite good! If you know how also run a tracert to bbc.co.uk. Post agin with the results and somebody can make an educated guess as to where the problem lies.
