Changing Home Hub 2 to Home Hub 5

I am on BT's standard broadband, not infinity, which suits my needs fine.
I am currently using a home hub 2, which seems to work without problems, but have been given a home hub 5 by a friend.
Are there any benfits to  changing to the newer hub?
Will it work with ordinary broadband or is a home hub 5 only suitable for infinity?
Would there be any installation problems?
Thanks

I've just done this switch on an ADSL line. The HH5 works in exactly the same way as my HH2. I wanted the gigabit Ethernet ports so I could remove a switch from my system simplifying the system and saving power. The wireless range seems better than the HH2 and some connections work quicker with the 5GHz wireless. I don't have any wireless ac devices so cannot comment on that. My home server works happily and I've port forwarded the server to allow access when I'm away from home.
On my experience you shouldn't have any problems swapping. If anything does arise you can always put your HH2 back. I'm ready for fibre if and when it appears on my exchange.

  • Cannot change home page

    cannot change home page. have moved and home page continues from last residence (router: 192.168.1.1). I now want a different home page. I have tried Tools>Use Current>OK, but my old 192.168.1.1 keeps coming back.

    Thank you, Anonymous, for your post. It was a good place to start. It never hurts to ask, "is it plugged in?" before assuming the machine is broken. I have tried the steps in your suggestion, but they don't work. Again, Thanks. -- Wayne

  • How change 'home' time-zone in ical?

    Hi
    Question ... how to change 'home' time-zone in ical?
    I have just relocated countries ... to a different time zone.
    I use time-zone support in iCal and add time-zone to various tasks.
    But when i add a task and note it as my now current time-zone then ical immediately alters the diary placement to assume that i am in my old country/time-zone.
    I have altered the region in Preferences/International but this seems to have no effect, in ical at least.
    guidance welcomed
    ross

    In the very upper, right-hand corner of the iCal window is a time zone display, here you can choose to change your iCal time zone.
    If you choose "other" from the time zone display's pop-up menu, you get a dialog just like the Date and Time System Preferences.
    Why this option is not in the iCal preferences, I have no idea. To me, that would make a lot more sense!

  • Safari - cannot change home page

    I've been struggling to change the home page but cannot seem to get rid of the default Mac page. I have changed home page in preferences, and the required page is showing clearly. However, the Apple page still loads every time I start Safari or open a new tab. Obviously there is something I am doing wrong. Any views on this?

    Hello Michael,
    This is really odd indeed two years of this! Sorry for your frustration.
    I think trying the Test or new account as Andy; )recommended would
    be very telling.
    Then you may have shipped the corrupt preference file over as well.
    you say Change home page to either another URL or "blank"
    Sticks in preferences box
    Close Safari
    Open and apple page appears yet again (despite preferences being to, say, blank).
    Just to be clear In Safari pref. the General tab;
    In the -> New windows open with: drop down is that set to "Home Page"
    You paste the preferred Url or you browse there
    Click on use "Current Page" when on the page you want
    and this does not work for you.
    it will not work if it is set to anything but the "Home page"
    I reiterated because you speak of "blank" does that mean you set it on
    Empty.
    I don't mean to be stubborn, it is just that i have had this issue.
    Mine was caused by an over site with the Empty/ bookmark etc. option
    on the drop down.
    Eme'~[ ) btw, your location, lovely imo.

  • How to open mew tab in google without changing home page

    how to open mew tab in google without changing home page

    Your solution will be client setting dependent.  The home page navigation and tab options for opening in the frame or new window are merely setting the href target in the home page html when the screen is rendered by the personalization service.  As far as I know the tab behavior new to IE in version 7, and the tab behavior in other browsers like Mozilla/Firefox are both managed at the application level and will be client PC bound.  The home page process just uses target="_blank" for opening links in a new window.  I don't know if there is a browser neutral setting for something like target="_newtab", but it doesn't appear to be the case:  http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/types.html#h-6.16
    If something like this does creep into the standard then it would make a nice feature enhancement request for 3 radio button options when defining a link in the navigation editor.

    I have been searching iTunes to see if there are any apps that I can use to change the home screen on my 3G, is this actually possible? I have search apple.ca, but there is so much information out there, I virtually get lost.

  • Changing Home Hub 2

    I am swapping the Home Hub 2 for an Apple Airport Extreme as my primary router as I am having some problems with the Home Hub. Will I need to put in any userman and password details when setting up and if so where can I find them without having to contact India.I have BT Infinity broadband.

    As Apple says: "It just works!"
    Everything I have is Apple as well and it all works together very well on the Infinity service with the Airport Extreme.
    If you follow the setup instructions it takes about ten minutes to get it all going.
    The Extreme allows me to use my Apple laptop at the bottom of the garden, about 75 metres from the house, whereas with the HH2, I could barely get a signal 10 metres from the house.
    If you want to do some homework before you buy, look here:

    but a better way would be to make a new user account using system preferences->accounts. call it whatever you want. log into that and delete the old account. since you just got this computer you don't have any data on it yet, right?

  • ICal changing home calendar color on its own

    I use a MacBook Pro laptop running OSX 10.7.5. I have iCal on my laptop and iPhone and back up to iCloud. My calendars have been running flawlessly for several years. Today, all of a sudden and without my doing anything, the color of my home calendar changed from red (which it has been for at least two years) to blue. Reminders changed from blue (where they have been for some time) to orange. All other calendars stayed their correct colors.
    I changed the colors back to their original colors, and within 10 minutes they had changed back again.
    I quit iCal, restarted my computer, and changed the colors again when I got iCal back up. Within a few minutes they were back (to blue for home and orange for reminders). It's not a big deal, but just annoying. Why would this happen?

    I have the same problem. It is really frustrating. I use iCal in a small office with 5 people. How can we make time management if everybody has the same colour. I found not solution in the Internet as well as on Apple Support. If somebody has an answer. Please let me know.
