Home hub 3, wifi only 1 mbps on ifinity 31.54mbps ...

Hi Guys, hope you can help 
Bt HH 3 on infinity download speed only 1.3 mbps when conected wifi.
we have an old pc connected directly to the HH3 and download speed is 31.54 mbps. 
Reset the HH3 to factory settings and were getting 19.37 mbps on wifi for a few hours before going back to 1Mbps. 
all the time hardwired download speed is around 31.54 mbps  so i know the line and connection is ok 
seems to have happened over last weekend.
cheers Mark

If it is only the wireless connection that is poor it would appear that the Homehub is failing. You will need to report the fault to BT. If you are still in contract they should replace it free of charge.

  • But I'm Not using my BT home hub for wifi

    I received an email after registering (and loging on to BTWIFI to test) which said...
    "Please keep your BT Home Hub switched on for the next few days so we can add you to the network."
    The thing is I do not use my BT Home Hub 3 for Wifi anymore. After a frustrating Saturday not being able to pick up a wifi signal in certain important spots in my house (kitchen table, bedroom etc.), I atempted to get the Home Hub 3 to recognise Apple's Airport Expresses to extend the wifi network. This does not work, so I switched off the HH3 Wifi and use it as a router only. I connected my own Wifi router with extenders and now I have a fast and near perfect signal in all corners of the house. No dropouts at all. 
    So, will this stop me benefiting from BT unlimited wifi hotspots?

    Correct, your non BT router will not radiate BT Wifi only your own SSID
    @DD But the Hub3 will!
    "so I switched off the HH3 Wifi and use it as a router only".
    The hub, once the BTWifi update has been sent, will start to transmit the BTWifi SSID's.

  • Home Hub rejecting wifi password 10-30 times until...

    We're having a strange problem with our wifi.  We have a home hub 5 and various devices connect to it.  We've had various connectivity issues with the home hub connecting to the internet, but we've learned to live with that. However, we also have another problem.
    Our laptops (both Mac, different types though) seem to need us to keep retrying the password between 10 and 30 times on average before it will accept it.  When the laptop is started up, it doesn't automatically log into the home hub (although it used to, and no settings have been changed) - it needs the password to be entered, and after typing it in and hitting enter, it rejects it as incorrect password.  We just keep hitting enter to retry, and some time later, it seems to randomly accept it for once.  The highest number of times I have had to retry it is 54, but usually it's between 10 and 30.
    No other devices seem to have this problem.
    Can anyone account for this or suggest a remedy? It's extremely frustrating.
    Thank you.

    I am having a similar problem, though I have not tried entering the password so many times. Therefore at the moment I am only able to connect either by:
    Cable
    Using the unsecure hot spot.
    This is affecting all my devices (iPad, Iphone, Windows laptiop, wireless printer).
    It was all working fine earlier this morning and then, suddenly, just stopped working.
    I have logged in to the bthomehub and checked the wireless password - it is still set at the original setting so it should be working.

  • Home Hub 3 WiFi - poor connection even when 2 metr...

    My Home Hub 3's WiFi has always been **bleep** but lately it seems to be getting worse. Most of my devices are connected via Ethernet and are fine but my WiFi devices suffer problems: poor speeds, high/fluctuating pings, web pages slow to load.
    Laptop (WiFi):
    Speed test = 31 ms ping, 4.6 Mbps down, 7.0 Mbps up Google.co.uk ping = 27 ms, 48 ms, 301 ms, 14 ms
    Server (Ethernet):
    Speed test = 10 ms ping, 64.4 Mbps down, 16.3 Mbps up Google.co.uk ping = 8 ms, 8 ms, 8 ms, 8 ms
    My server is actually busy doing networking stuff during this, yet has an excellent connection. The laptop's connection is pitiful, with pings all over the place (presumably due to constantly dropping packets). I actually managed to fix this last night by switching from 801.11b/g to 801.11b/g/n on the Home Hub but that didn't last since I'm having the same issues today. I've tried choosing automatic WiFi channel and switching manually to the least busy channel (1/6/11), and I've tried changing from 20 Mhz to 40 Mhz. Neither has any effect. I've also tried rebooting the router, which doesn't help.
    I know it's a problem with the Home Hub since it happens with both of my phones also. Plus it occasionally seems to work fine. Is it just dying? I haven't ever moved it from its current position, which is in the centre of my flat.

    up to you but using any of the other available channels does help in the majority of cases

  • Home hub 3 Wifi

    Hi.
    I have my second homehub 3 as my previous one kept on rebooting. This one doesn't reboot, however, almost every day I get a spell where the wifi signal drops, my devices all lose the connection and start moving onto "Wifi with fon" and then the wireless signal comes back. The wifi light on the home hub actually switches off for a second or 2 and comes back on.
    I spoke to support who told me to change channel and adapter settings which I had already done to be honest but it is still the same. My broadband speed and connection is fine, fast and reliable but this wifi issue is driving me crazy.
    BT say that as I am out of contract, the best thing to do would be to re contract and then I would get a home hub 5. I feel that this is not an acceptable solution as I could quite conceivably be stuck in this situation for another year if I do this.
    Has anyone experienced this before/have any ideas?
    Cheers,
    GT

    By being 'out of contract' you are actually in a rolling monthly contract where you can leave at 30 days notice less if you use mac code but you are paying the full market rate for your package - any special deal has ceased.  By starting a new contract you could negotiate a deal and probably save money - up to you

  • Home Hub 5 Wifi performance

    Hello,
    I'm sorry if this has been covered but I have looked around and can't find the answer. I'm thinking of moving from SKY ADSL to BT Infinity 2. The main reason is the SKY Hub is dire when it comes to wifi. Due to my master socket location I have to use wifi for everything, which I don't mind as I get good coverage in my home. On SKY ADSL i get almost the same speed on wifi as connected over ethernet.
    My main question is what is the HH5 wifi performance like? People on SKY's 80/20 package don't seem to be able to get more than 30meg is this is the same for the HH5? Sky say you need to use ethernet for the full speeds, which I can't do. If its the same for the HH5 then I'll just get the 40/10 package but I was hopful that the HH5 would have better throughput then the SKY Hub.
    Thanks 

    Hello,
    Thanks for the quick replies I know there is little support when it comes to wifi and thats fine I'm just trying to work out if people who are on the 80/20 package get anything close to the 80/20 speeds on wifi? Obveously in ideal circumstances as I know loads of things effect wifi performace.
    If not then I would just order the 40/10 package and not bother with the 80/20 one as I'll never be able to make use of it. Or consider buying a vdsl router/modem of my own.
    Thanks

  • Home Hub 5GHz WiFi going faulty?

    Just bought an iPad Air 2, partly because it has 802.11ac on the 5GHz band and should work with my homehub. Was great with connection at full speed for first couple of days, but tonight I have noticed that the speed is getting limited to 30Mbps max on the Ookla Speedtest everywhere, even straight in front of the router (my Infinity speed is 58Mbps and I was getting full unlimited speed over 802.11ac until tonight).
    Plus I have noticed that the HomeHub is now making a significant electronic buzz/hiss when doing a speedtest on it from the iPad. You can 'hear the data' being streamed
    In comparison, my iPhone on the 2.5GHz band using 802.11n speed tests at >40Mbps still from the same speedtest server, with no buzzing/hissing noise from the homehub. My PC also has no restriction (connected via Homeplugs).
    That would indicate to me that the 5GHz WiFi Access Point has a problem - do you agree? Anybody else experienced such a problem?
    We had power blips last night - could that have damaged the Homehub? (I have got it on a surge protector however).
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Another thing.....
    HomeHub 5GHz wifi set to 802.11ac - iPad Air 2 reports on Advanced Settings / Home Network Hub Web Page as connected at 130Mbps
    HomeHub 5GHz wifi set to 802.11n - iPad Air 2 reports on Advanced Settings / Home Network Hub Web Page as connected at 300Mbps
    Am I seeing an incompatibility between the iPad Air 2 & the Homehub, or a 5GHz Access Point that has gone faulty when trying to use 802.11ac?

  • Issues with Gagabit connection on BT Home Hub 3.0

    I did post this is the BB Other Forum, but got no reply, maybe someone can answer it in this one.
    I have just received a BT Home Hub 3.0 to replace my old HH 1.0
    I have connected the hub up and 'assumed' that if I plug port 4 into my existing gigabit home network everything would work simple.  However this is not the case.
    My existing ;working' home network has the following
    1 x PC
    1 x Laptop
    1 x N.A.S
    These are all connected by a 5 port Netgear Switch (GS605) they all have the yellow light to say they are at gigabit speed.
    When I plug the HH 3.0 into the swtch, the light only comes up as orange (100mps).  I have tried changing cables, but still the same result.
    However, if I connect the PC directly to the HH 3.0 then my Local Area Connection says it is connected at 1.0Gbps.
    When connected to the switch, my connection through the HH 3.0 is very slow, but when connected directly to the HH 3.0 it is running at speeds I previously had.
    I have disconnected all items from the switch, powered down the HH 3.0 and connected it on its own.  The yellow (1Gbps) light flashes for a while and then changes to orange.
    Can anyone advise?
    Regards
    Trevor

    I have tired connecting just the HH 3.0 to the Netgear Switch with cables that I know work at 1 Gbps and into all the ports.  Resetting the HH 3.0 on several occasions.
    Each time the light flashed yellow and then turned to orange.  I know the switch works as I have green lights when known Gbps items are connected, eg, PC, Laptop and NAS.
    When I connect my PC directly to the HH 3.0 in the Gbps my network connection comes up as 1 Gbps.
    It is just when I connect the HH to the switch.
    When I go to the Home Network setting on the HH I have the following.  The hub is connected to the switch on ethernet port 2
    PC connected at 1000 Mbps (directly to the Gbps on the home hub)
    BT Vision connected at 100 Mbps (directly to port 1 on the home hub)
    Laptop connected at 100 Mbps (connected to the switch) but is showing as 1 Gbps on the switch.
    NAS connected at 100 Mbps (connected to the switch) but is showing as 1 Gbps on the switch.
    Any further ideas?
    Regards
    Trevor

  • Can I connect more than one device to home hub?

    I am a new user and have my PC connected to my home hub and all works well.
    My husband has just got an ANDROID and we want to connect as well. I thought I was doing it ok and entered the security key but all I get is authenticating and not much else and it does not connect. Have I missed something do I have to put anything else in other than the security key?
    It connects ok to the external BTwifi and BT Wifi with Fon but of course we are not supposed to do that.
    Sue

    it may be a problem with your Android (whatever model) as any home hub or WiFi router should take loads of other devices I am not sure there is a limit but I have 8 connected.
    If you have anyone else that has a tablet or phone that you can get them to test to see if the problem is with the hub or your android device.
    The only other thing I can suggest is that if it is a home hub 4 which also uses 5Ghz as well as 2.4Ghz some people have had problems with 5Ghz and if you can see both from your device selecting the 2.4Ghz may help.

  • Time capsule and home hub use

    Can i connect a Time Capsule to my BT Home Hub but still having the home hub as the only wireless router. I only want to backup my MBP over wireless

    Can i connect a Time Capsule to my BT Home Hub but still having the home hub as the only wireless router
    Yes.
    You have the option of connecting the Time Capsule to the Home Hub using an Ethernet cable, or you can connect to the Home Hub using wireless only and locate the Time Capsule in a "safe" location as a security measure.

  • Downloading at maximum speed causes BT Home Hub 3 ...

    Hi there,
    We have a BT Home Hub 3 which to be honest, is awful. Everytime someone downloads something from a source with good servers (e.g. I can DL it at the maximum speed my line allows), it prevents anyone else on the network from loading anything at all. We can roughly get 2.1MB/s, but as soon as this is reached, everyone else is kicked from the network.
    How can I prevent this? It's ridiculous that everytime I want to download something which doesn't have the ability to cap the speed, I have to let the download finish, reboot the router, usually at least twice.
    Really dissapointed in BTs services.

  • Wifi connectivity - Yosemite and dual band routers (i.e. BT Home Hub)

    This is working for me so far after all previous tips on other Discussions proved only to be temporary.  This is the only one that enabled my MBP to accept password for the SSID.
    From BT Home Hub - 2011!!
    The BT Home Hub 4 and Hub 5 are dual band with two wireless frequencies for devices to connect to: 2.4GHz and 5GHz. On both Hubs, the default setting has the same network name (or SSID) for both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. Connecting a typical 5GHz-capable device to this single SSID will automatically connect the device to both the 2.4 and 5Ghz frequency at the same time.
    However, not all dual band devices behave the same way and some device software does not cope well with a single SSID for both frequencies.
    As a result:
    the device may not connect wirelessly to the Hub
    it may not connect to 5GHz frequency even in the same room
    the wireless connection might be intermittent
    the wireless connection might be very slow
    Devices where there are known to be problems include:
    Some Apple devices including iPhone 5 and Apple TV
    some Android smartphones
    Xbox
    For some devices you can solve this problem by having different network names (SSIDs) for the 2.4GHz and the 5GHz bands. To set this up, follow these steps:
    Open your web browser on a device connected to the Hub and go to bthomehub.home. This will open the Hub Manager
    Click on Advanced Settings and enter your Hub admin password when prompted. Unless you've changed it, you'll find the default Hub password on the Hub settings card
    Click on Continue to Advanced Settings
    Click on Wireless
    Click on 5GHz
    Change 'Sync with 2.4 Ghz' to No
    Change the 'Wireless SSID' to a new name (we recommend just adding '5GHz' to the end of the existing SSID name so you'll know which one is which)
    Click Apply to save the changes
    After a few minutes you should see two BT Home Hub SSIDs in the list of networks on your device. All of your devices will still automatically connect to the original SSID name, which will be the 2.4GHz.
    If you have existing dual band devices you want to connect to 5GHz only, you'll need to connect them to the 5GHz SSID that you've renamed. AND RESTART the hub - PJ
    Note- Even though wireless speeds at 5GHz can be significantly faster than 2.4GHz, the range of a 5GHz connection is not as good. As a result, you may need your device closer to your Hub (than you'd need to when using the 2.4GHz SSID) to get the best performance possible."

    Sadly it didn't last...
    I just posted this on BT Home Hub users forum. and the big Yosemite/wifi Discussion
    "Sorry to awaken this topic from the dead....
    I am using HH5a, opted in to FON, and Os10.10 MacBookPro
    I have no problem whatsoever connecting and staying connected to 2.4ghz
    I struggle since OS10.10 to either connect or stay connected to 5ghz
    A persistent issue with trying to connect to 5ghz is the response "invalid password"  Only occasionally in the past 3 months has this not been a problem
    the app WifiExplorer shows today that the only other networks on the same channels as my networks are the FON wifiX - both of which I presume are using my router/wifi as when I manually change channels these move with me.
    Signal strength on 2.4  ghz is between 77 - 85, 5ghz 80+/- 1
    Noise and signal noise ratio a lot higher on 2.4 than 5
    (There is lots more info on wifi explorer but I dont know its relevance/meaning)
    I have tried using manual channel selection and Smart Wireless and can't see much difference in 5ghz connection
    Given a choice I would prefer to stay in FON but if there is overwhleming evidence that these hot spot networks are affecting mine, I would consider opting out.  Views/ guidance please.  Thanks.  And a Happy New Year too."
    IS ANYBODY ELSE using BT Home Hub5a having this same issue?  I BELIEVE it has largely if only been since upgrading to 10.10.1 but can't swear to it.
    IS IT SIGNIFICANT THAT SOMETIMES THE PASSWORD TO 5GHZ network is accepted and other times not?
