Re: BT Hub 3 functionally inadequate

Been trying to resolve my Wifi dropout issues on my HH3 with BT since January 2014.  So far 3 techincal support calls, all of which end with their stock response, change the location of my router to somehwere where there are no local electrical aplliances or radiators.
I've already relocated the HH3 from my lounge at one side of my house, to a bedroom on the other side of the house, but didn't make any difference and I would still regularly get wifi dropouts across all devices (basically, when it goes on one device, it goes on all of them).
BT didn't offer any additional support, weren't interested in surveying or querying my set up, and no offer of an alternative BT HH3/4/5 was made (well, not for free anyway).
In a last ditch attempt to resolve the matter myself i recently purchased a TP Link TD-W8961 ADSL router.  Got it up and running quickly, and my broadband speeds were quicker (upload and downloads), the wifi range was better, and no wifi dropouts.
Unfortunately i got repeated disconnections on Xbox live on both of my wired Xboxes.  Despite port forwarding i couldn't resolve these issues, and had to return the TP Link router and revert back to my HH3.
I spent a whole day, starting with a HH3 factory reset, setting up every single device on my network with static ip addresses. And.... it's not made a single bit of difference, and I still get wifi dropouts across all devices.
What would be my next course of action.  I'm currently mid-contract, which doesn;t expire until January 2015.  BT won't acknowledge even the concept that the HH3 may be faulty.  The only thing I can even think to attempt next is to try and swap out my HH3 with a spare HH2.
Anyone any suggestions, as this has been an ongoing issue to me for 9 months now (and I get it in the neck from the rest of my family every time the wifi goes off)?

Have you tried setting the channel on the HH3 to a fixed channel.
isSSIDer will help you find best channel and best location.

  • I would like to know if a USB 2.0 Hub will function well in a 2014 rMBP USB 3.0 Port?

    I just purchased a rMBP and I need 4-5 powered USB slots for devices. There have been many reported problems with USB 3.0 Hubs on the rMBP. I want to know if anyone who was having problems was able to return to using a UBS 2.0 Hub?
    Will a USB 2.0 Hub function through the New rMBP's USB 3.0 port? Will there be spontenous errors and freezes?
    My devices are all USB 2.0

    I knew it was several years old, I had one and never got it to work with my iPhone 3G. I use the Kensington, looks like half a ball, but just about any new one should work. Keep in mind if you connect a lot of devices that are pulling power it may affect it.

  • 10.6.5 Breaking USB Keyboard/Hub Combination?

    Hey guys, just did the update to 10.6.5 only to find my USB being dodgy and not working. After some digging around, came across this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2644159&start=0&tstart=0 and followed the instructions listed there, pulling the files from yesterday's backup of my machine (obviously before the system update). The files I copied are AppleUSBAudio.kext, AppleUSBDisplays.kext, AppleUSBMultitouch.kext, AppleUSBTopCase.kext, IOUSBFamily.kext, IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext.
    All went well and was back to normal, EXCEPT my keyboard.
    The kernel log is showing the following, whenever I plug the keyboard into the hub (any port on the hub):
    Dec 21 18:17:03 Trinity-II kernel[0]: USBF: 532.547 AppleUSBHubPort[0xcf21300]::FatalError - Port 1 of Hub at 0xfd140000 reported error 0xe00002ed while doing getting port status (5)
    However, the keyboard works fine when plugged in to the machine directly, and all other devices on the hub are functioning as normal (USB Printer and Scanner also are on that hub.)
    This was all working at 10.6.4 but has somehow been broken in the update, is there any solution? I don't particularly want to use the last spare USB port on my mac for my keyboard because of some software failure.

    Also, using Console to trouble shoot problems:
    Using logs to troubleshoot problems
    If you are troubleshooting a problem and need more information about it, you can use Console to look at the messages sent and received by your computer. Your computer keeps logs of these messages, which you can read in Console. Logs might contain the following types of information:
    More detailed information than what you see in error messages
    Application and system messages that are not shown to a user
    Progress messages
    Technical information about your computer that might be useful to a developer or technician assisting you with an issue
    You can also use Console to log the sequence of events as you re-create the problem. The resulting log can help service and support technicians in determining the cause of the problem.
    To log a sequence of events:
    Open Console, located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.
    Open Console
    To see the all the logs, click the Logs List button and then click the triangle next to a folder to see the logs in that folder.
    Select the appropriate log and click Clear.
    Perform the actions that produced the problem you are troubleshooting.
    Read the messages that appear in the Console window.
    You can save the log file for the service or support technician who is helping you troubleshoot the problem.

                          -thanks tom
    i am open to any new suggestions.... thank you!

    Thanks for the reply Skydiver119
         well, i suppose that that could be the case, though this has been a problem for about 2 years. also i could use it on the old pcgr505-dl laptop, 6 months ago. it seemed fine, and it charges, the port is not loose, don't have to wiggle the charger, etc. I had gotten it to work bu connecting the ipad to a usb hub, then connecting that to my computer, but the hub stopped functioning when it got run over by a car. also, for some odd reason other usb hubs i tried seemed to do nothing...
         i could take it in, however i would like to avoid spending more money on the iPad, those visits can be quite expensive...

  • Is it possible to connect 2 usb devices to an Airport Extreme?

    Is it possible to connect 2 usb devices to an Airport Extreme (either the newest, ac model or the previous model) using a usb hub?

    Apple does not provide a compatibility list for USB connected devices, so no one can tell you whether things will work until you try it out yourself.
    If both the Iomega drive and HP printer work when you connect them individually to the AirPort Extreme, then your chances using a powered hub are quite good....assuming that the USB hub is functioning correctly.
    In other words, make sure that both devices are working when you try them individually connected to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme. If they don't work that way, they won't work with a powered hub either.

  • Turning iMac DV 400 (G3 slot loader) on via the Apple Pro keyboard?

    I was looking at my iMac's Lowendmac profile (located here: http://lowendmac.com/imacs/400.shtml) when I noticed right at the bottom of the page under "Cautions" it mentions:
    "You must have the keyboard plugged directly into an iMac USB port to boot with the power key (Eject on the Apple Pro Keyboard); it will not work if the keyboard is attached to a hub."
    I never knew this. Before I got the iMac I had an old slow Performa LC630 and it did have a power key on the keyboard so when I went to the iMac I was a bit miffed to find the Pro keyboard didn't have such a feature (not that it mattered a great deal of course, I just always liked power buttons being on the keyboard).
    Reading this bit of info though obviously made me excited since in all these years that I've owned the iMac I never knew it could be turned on by pressing eject.
    I tried it. Nothing happened. The keyboard is plugged into the main USB panel on the actual iMac too, I tried both slots. No ball. Pressing the eject button doesn't turn the iMac on.
    Is this article simply incorrect or is there something I'm missing?

    Perhaps the article meant to indicate that those Apple USB keyboards having a power button and the Apple Pro keyboard having the media Eject key must be plugged directly into the computer's USB port and not into a hub, for functionality of those keys. If the Eject key served the same purpose as a Power button, I'd expect to get a prompt asking if I'd like to shut down the computer, every time I ejected a disk. I just connected a Pro keyboard to my iMac DV, and pressing the Eject key didn't power ON the computer.

  • Extracting data to an external system

    Hi,
    We need to extract data from an R/3 system into a BW system and the same data (and more) should also be uploaded into a customer application (based on Oracle).
    I wonder what's the best in order to load data into this external system:
    1. Read data from the R/3 system, using RFCs (calling the function modules of the corresponding datasources, don't know if this is possible)
    2. Use the open hub service functionality, in order to read the data from the BW system.
    Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Ana

    Hi Ana,
    Could you elaborate more on what kind of data you are willing to pull from R/3 using which method. first check wheter you can use standard extractor to pull the data into BW. Check what is the method you are going to follow in order to pull data , Delta or Full update (If just one time). If standard extractor are present try to use that than Generic method.
    Infospoke supports distribution of data to Flatfile and Database and check if you need to do any transformation when you extract the data from BW to external Database.
    Experts feel free to comment if my understanding is not correct.
    hope it helps.
    Thanks.

  • Wireless iCal Sync?

    On the iPhone, does iCal sync over the network (via wireless) with DotMac (as is the case on a Mac) or is a physical connection required to sync with a Mac/PC?

    Please allow me to add my voice to the cry of people requesting wireless sync. This makes the iPhone functionally inadequate as a credible work phone. I don't want to go back to using Crack(berry). It's my only real complaint about my iPhone.
    At a minimum please do something to replace the USB cable with wireless between the computer and the device. I'm constantly forgetting to leave my cable connected to my charger (at home) in the morning, and I can't sync my calendar all day.
    Since I'm a software product manager by background, please allow me to suggest a small, prioritized functional description, as a way to express my prioritized list of wants. Hopefully it helps provide some insight into customer use cases.
    Please, please, please.........
    *Wireless sync - local*
    1) The iPhone will perform a "standard" sync (calendar, contacts, images, audio) with a laptop using a "local" wireless transport (substituting transparently for the existing USB transport.) (Note that this description does not address wide-area sync over a wireless carrier network.)
    2) End-user functionality remains the same with regard to the sync.
    3) The first time a user wishes to pair the iPhone with a computer, an authentication, configuration, and pairing step must be performed (from within iTunes) while the iPhone is physically connected (via USB) to the computer with which the user wishes to sync.
    4) The iPhone will use a network-appropriate mechanism of continually monitoring whether it has come into network connectivity with a computer to which it is paired. When it does, it prompts the user whether the user wishes to sync immediately.
    4a) If the user responds yes, a sync begins
    4b) If the user does not respond before the end of a timeout period, a sync either begins (or not, depending on a preference setting; the timeout can also be set in a preference).
    4c) If either the sync is completed, or the user declines a sync request, the iPhone will again execute this discovery/sync-request/sync cycle periodically. (The period can be set in preferences. Default: 10 minutes).
    *Network support:*
    1) 802.11: The first priority is support for an 802.11 network. Syncs will only be completed when:
    1a) The computer and the iPhone have been pre-paired (via iTunes, above).
    1b) The iPhone has detected the 802.11 network, and the user has elected to join it, and the iPhone has successfully joined it.
    1bi) (This means that when the iPhone detects an 802.11 network, it connects, and performs a lookup for the named computer with which it is paired (e.g. via Bonjour)).
    1c) Syncs must be performed using encrypted IP connections (e.g. HTTPS) between the iPhone and the computer.
    2) Bluetooth: The second priority is support for Bluetooth. Syncs will only completed when the computer and the iPhone have been previously paired via iTunes & the iPhone / computer link over Bluetooth has been paired (in the Bluetooth sense of the word Paired.)

  • Strange Clicking Noise Coming from HomeHub 2

    Hi All
    Ive got a 8 month old BT Home Hub 2 (Black) Type "A" I think it is.. Recently, I have noticed it starts to emit a strange frequent Clicking sound like someone tapping a metal needle on a desktop frequently or like a relay going on and off.. It doesnt reboot or anything and works quite normally..  We dont use the Hub Phone function on it at all, just use it for Vision and Broadband. it also seems to get rather hot sometimes.
    Is this normal? I am slightly worried its going to blow up on me or something, esp as we leave it switched on all the time when we are not in the house.
    Any ideas?

    Hi john
    Having owned several type A's, all bar one of mine would only click once when booting up. I don't recall hearing any further clicks until they were rebooted (either automatically or manually). The BBTalk side of things will always be active, regardless to not being active....
    The one I owned that did multiple clicks only did this as the software failed on a reset - continually rebooting with all lights flashing on and off.
    As your hub is only 8 months old, it should still be under gurantee and BT should replace it foc under warranty.
    You can if you so wish, call the BT help line 08001114567 and state it keeps clicking and you are concerned.
    If you're not happy to leave it on, turn it off at night*, until a replacemnet is sent.
    *If it is starting to fail, it may never switch back on...

  • HT4061 connecting to wi-fi

    My new ipad 3 wi-fi bought in NY will not connect to my bt home hub. The hub is functional : I am using it now with my Macbook. BT have failed to identify the problem but if I pay £30 upfront their technical personnel will try to help by 'phone. I used the ipad this morning in the Apple store in Meadowhall and it connected to their wi-fi. Can anyone help? I resent paying money upfront for a service which may or may not solve the problem.

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks  http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
    iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • Difference between BW7.0 and BI7.3

    Hi all,
    1.Whats is the difference between bw 7.0 and BI 7.3?
    2. we are using BI 7.3 , have to know that is there any limitations of using BI 7.3 . We are extracting the data from multiprovider to Open hub Destination? Is there any disadvantage ?
    Please gudie me on this...

    Hi,
    Some of the features of 7.3:
    Major Step on enterprise Data warehousing scalability and flexibility
    BW accelerator: SAddditional performance
    Integration improvements with SAP Business Objects Data Services.
    Open Hub Services:
    1) Info spoke functions have been removed the infospoke and open hub monitor functions previously located under Tools-Open hub services. These functions are now obsolete due to the introduction of open hub destination.
    2) One can now extract data in ASCII and XML when using a file as a destination. You can now select either the default setting or direct input as the codepage setting.
    3)It is no longer possible to create new Infospokes.One can still use, display and change or delete existing Infospokes.It is recommended switching to the new Open hub destination concept.With the data transfer process and transformation, the Open hub destinationprovides all of the functions offered by Infospokes and thus replace the Infospoke concept.
    Please find some of the links which may be helpful for you.
