The BT Home Hub

Hi,
I have been looking at the Unlimited Broadband and Calls offer on BT, which comes with the Home Hub.
The query is that do I need to use the Home Hub provided for this contract? or does the D-Link and the Solwise Sar-600e do the same job that the Home Hub would usually do? Also, what exactly does the Home Hub do?
Thanks in advance for your time

No you don't have to use the Home Hub. You can use any adsl2+ enabled router you like.

  • Can Airport extreme be used as a repeater from the BT home hub

    can Airport extreme be used as a repeater from the BT home hub because my laptop will be very far away and i currently get a rubbish signal on my Windows pc so when i upgrade to the mac pro i am wonderimg if i could use the airport extreme as a repeater to strenthen my already rubbish signal??

    You might want to check with BT to see if they have a device to do what you want.
    Using wireless only, the AirPort Extreme will only "extend" or "repeat" the wireless signal if it has been produced by another Apple router. It is not compatible with routers from other suppliers for this purpose.

  • Images of the BT Home Hub 4

    Does anyone have any REAL pictures of the BT Home Hub 4? Not the ones in the ads and the pictures. (They look kinda photoshopped especially with the light) it would be cool to see what it would be like in action!

    Hi Dean235,
    Thanks for posting. Jonew has posted a short youtube clip of the hub 4 here .

  • Will the time capsule work the bt home hub 3

    Will my time capsule work with the bt home hub 3

    Apple products work in a huddle with themselves.. all others are excluded so no you cannot wireless repeat if that is what you mean.
    In bridge though the TC can work as a WAP.. as can every wireless router ever made. You must connect to the home hub by ethernet. Then set the wireless manually and use the same network name, ie SSID, and security settings and password.. but you need to use a different wireless channel. You can then roam with any wireless devices..and they should connect to the strongest signal. In reality it doesn't work 100% and I think it is easier to use a different SSID and know what you are connecting too, but that is up to you.

    Let me know what you all think, I made the picture look like the set up diagrams in manuals..
    But its still pretty bad lol

    lol, my sister is set on it.
    Shes gone through 4 blackberry's, orange replace them for free.
    They break so easily, they have many software issues.
    The TV's were both at decent prices, no too bothered on a massive TV.
    I will be buying a 55 or 60 inch sometime next year but for the time being 32 is enough.
    The house will be getting refurbed next year some time, so I will deal with all that then.
    I dont want to pay for the Iphone 4 £130 or so and then £35 per month for the contract, but my sister wants to get the phone.
    Since I pay for the contract shes gonna give me the money to buy the phone.
    Stupid price fixing for Iphones, should be illegal and yet trading standards turn a blind eye.

  • Is it worth upgrading the BT home hub to the lates...

    i have a bt version 1.5 home hub is there any advantage to going to the  latest HUB and if so how do you go about geting one?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    At the risk of repeating myself, don't bother to upgrade to the latest HH unless you can get it for free (and even then its not always a good move).
    Go to that well-know internet sales site and get yourself a 2-Wire 2700HGV which is the hub issued to Business users on BT. Its very stable, hangs on to a long line very well, and you can use your BBVoice connection (albeit not with a BT HubPhone).
    Just make sure that you get one that has not been "cracked" for use on non-BT services as it will not work on BT.

  • Xbox One and xbox 360 on the same Home Hub 4

    I currently have an xbox one and 360 directly connected to a Home Hub 4 (with different internal static IP addresses  allocated to the xbox units).  I want to configure port forwarding on the Hub to enable access to xbox live and other gaming services.
    I have created the game profiles one the hub and can allocate to one of the devices, but when I try to allocate (either the same or another profile), I get a conflict error.
    I understand why this is happening and was wondering if there was a simple way to resolve this (without giving both xboxs the same IP address, and only having one online at any given time)?
    Many thanks

    Hi there,
    If you are using UPnP, then you will need to use what's known as "Port Range Triggering".
    You can't use "Port Range Forwarding" as the limitation of this is that it expects the ports to be directed to one internal IP address.
    The ports you need to forward are as follows:
    53, 88, 80 and 3074.
    Disable DMZ (should be disabled by default on the Home Hub 4, but double-check) and also disable "Port Range Forwarding", if this option is available.
    Lastly, you will need to set your MTU to 1364 to avoid lag issues.
    *DISCLAIMER: This is generic advice, sourced from the internet, so I cannot be held responsible for it's accuracy, as I don't use a Home Hub router*
    EDIT: Here's a Youtube link that explains the process visually. Although the user here doesn't use a Home Hub, essentially the process is the same.

  • BT home hub 4 wireless connection issue on the Xbo...

    Hi all,
    It has been flagged to us that there may be an issue when connecting an Xbox 360 to the new BT home hub 4.
    As many of you are aware the new BT home hub 4 has dual wireless bands broadcasting in the  2.4 GHz and 5 GHz range.
    It seems that when connecting an Xbox 360 wirelessly to the hub 4, the Xbox will state that there is an error, like the one below.
    “There is more than one network in range that has this SSID, please change your router SSID before proceeding”
    This issue seems to be due to the fact then when the Xbox scans for the available wireless networks, it sees both SSID's  and insists that one of them must be changed in case of a conflict.
    This is an Xbox 360 issue and not a hub 4 problem
    When Xbox 360 was released some 8 years ago dual band routers were very uncommon; so the Xbox has not been setup to deal with this type of connection.
    To correct this issue we have some steps that you can follow so that you can connect to the hub. You will need to log into the BT home hub manager  and change the SSID on the 5 GHZ band being broadcasted from the hub.
    Steps to do this are as follows…….
    Log in to the Hub 4 in the normal manner setting up a new password or using the custom password that has been setup by the customer then navigate to the Advanced Settings
    Then select continue to advanced setting
    Then select wireless
    Then select 5GHZ
    After that you will need to change Sync with 2.4 from yes to NO
    After this has been done you will then be able to change the SSID of the 5GZ band adding a number or a letter to the end
    After all this has been done you will then need to click apply to save the changes
    You will now be able to connect the Xbox in the normal way using the default wireless key

    Try changing the wireless channel in the hub. Enter 192.168.1.254 then go to wireless switch to manual and try another channel. You can try downloading inssider3 which will show netwrorks and their channels round about you

  • Poor service and the saga of the Home Hub 2.0

    Since upgrading to Total broadband 3 earlier this year, I've had problems with the Home Hub 2.0 (type a).  It keeps locking up/crashing.  Its the home hub rather than the broadband connection, which when used with a Linksys modem router works fine.  
    I've run through usual fault finding and rectification - hard reset, plugging into test socket, countless line tests.  of course trying to get BT call centre staff to understand its the home hub thats playing up/at fault, not the connection, is like banging ones head against a very hard wall.  For a piece of equipment less than a year old it should work without problem.  And I was tempted to go to PC world and buy a replacement modem, but decided to preserve with  BT's 'help' desk.
    Over the past 3 or 4 months I've probably made one help desk call about the same issue each month.  Have to repeat myself time and time again and get fobbed off with another excuse, or promise of call back.
    Eventually got through to a supervisor - after insisting when a call log was closed and marked 'resolved' when we were still having the problems and hadn't had a call back.  Repeated my issues for the 4th or so time, went through what I had done to date (restore to factory settings, checking its logs, etc etc)  he finally consented to send a replacement home hub.
    I get an email telling me it would be delivered on the 6th before 6pm.  But of course it wasn't.  And I did as the email said, and tried to phone the number to say it hadn't arrived only to get an answer phone message saying the help desk was shut.
    So wasted my lunch break today on the phone to BT trying to find out where it was, only to learn that BT had posted it to a previous address which I haven't lived at for 4 years.  Well done BT, it takes real skill to be that rubbish.
    Fingers crossed another new one is on its way to the right address.
    I have however a couple of questions, which as I can't face phoning the call centre again I thought I'd post on here:
    1) How on earth did BT manage to send  the replacement home hub it to the wrong address?  Especially since the original one was sent to the correct address & my delivery address is set  correctly on the web portal and the agent handling the call confirmed the address? - and what are you going to do to ensure it doesn't happen again (dare I mention data protection - as the home hub pack presumably has some personal details on it..)
    2) In the final call today I was asked for my date of birth and mothers maiden name so they could add it to the account - afterwards having not been asked by BT for this before on countless calls  I wondered is this standard practice - or should I now be worried?
    3) How do you have a sensible discussion with someone - preferably in the UK - about the customer experience?  As mine as has been rubbish (you might be able to tell from the tone of this post), and I'm regretting ever having upgraded and wishing I had instead gone to another broadband provider.
    4) Given that issues with certain models of home hubs seem to be known issues (at least to google) why do the call centre agents always focus on the broadband connection -(typical conversation with an  Agent "..so your connection keeps dropping", Me: "No the connection is fine.  The home hub has crashed again". Agent "So your connection has dropped"? and on and on) rather than actually listening to the customer. (Can you reset it - yes already have, several times  and so on)
    Any answers from a moderator would be welcome.
     I am actually happy with BT's  broadband product, and don't want to have to go through the hassle of changing provider, I'm just disgruntled at how bad the home hub has been, and how poor the customer service has been.
    Thanks.

    Hi EKandrew,
    To be honest I have not heard of the hub locking up before.  The questions you have been asked by our helpdesk are aimed specifically at your connection as most problems tend to occur here, either with slow speed or hub drops etc.
    Could you be more specific in how the hub locks/crashes? What do you notice when this happens? What way do you have your connection set up?
    As much info as possible would help
    In answer to your questions:
    1/ Sometimes we have an old address still on your account and this has not been updated for packages/correspondance.
    2/ Nothing to worry about, we ask these questions for additional security.  If you have quoted your account number previously this is normally enough for most things however the advisor probably just noticed we didnt have this info on file.
    4/ As above, this is not a common problem and most issues that come to us are to do with your connection.
    Thx
    Craig

    Hi Josh, we are aware of this issue. This is a problem with the Xbox rather than the HH4 but something we are reviewing together.
    7:24
    Emma: 
    Hi the bennyboy, the main advantages of the hub 4 are the faster processor (3 x faster) and 5 GHz wifi. There is no interference with 5GHz so you get better performance and as the range isn't as wide you dont have to share the bandwidth with neighbours etc. the hub still has 2.4 GHz so you still have the range you have withhub 3 too!
    7:24
    Dave: 
    Hi Winston, I am afraid there's no simple answer as it really depends on what features are in use. But the Hub 4 meets the latest Broadband Equipment Energy Code of Conduct targets for energy consumption.

So if you are transferring files from one computer to another or watching a film streamed from another device, the BT Home Hub 4 won't slow you down.

    Our house has very thick stone walls and the wireless is weak in certain rooms. We have a few devices in our house that support 5Ghz Wi-Fi. Does the HH4 also work ok with home plugs that use your power cables to provide network connectivity?

    yeah I can tell, I know your quesitons are pretty good but if you notice that JacquiBT is deliberately choosing the questions she wants to go through. The whole chat is based around the fact that they have added 5ghz. I am appauled as I was hoping to at least ask one question. 

  • Connect a printer to Bt Home Hub usb plug and acess the printer on my mac

    Hi,
    I have the new BT Home Hub and i connected a printer in the usb socket of the hub.
    Does anyone know how i can print with the printer.
    The printer is a HP Deskjet Series
    And i have a iMac

    I have a BT Home Hub 2.0 and usually connect my printer to my hub via a LAN cable. However, a friend has just switched to BT and asked me whether this was possible. If you plug in the printer via USB the Homehub Manager page states that +*No USB device connected*+ and if you look on BT's website they say this:
    {quote:title=BTs website post:}
    The BT Home Hub, including the latest BT Home Hub 2.0, aren't print servers. Connecting a printer to the USB socket won't work, and BT can't help with this.
    There are reports from some customers elsewhere on the Internet claiming they've managed to share printers in this way. But the success might be specific to the printer used by these customers, and the Hub doesn't support this feature.

    However, the following link provides shows that it is possible: http://www.wallaceit.co.uk/witarticle80.aspx
    I'd be interested to see if this works.
    Cheers.

  • Which home hub gives the best wireless connection?

    Hello, I have the old home hub 1.0 (BT Total broadband option 3) and I am thinking about a wireless connection. Apparantly this home hub does have wireless ability but do the more recent hubs allow a better wireless connection?
    Thanks
    Adam

    The HH1 is fine, it really depends on what range you expect, as all of the home hubs have the same power output.
