Using btinternet home hub to access sky+ anytime -...

Newbie poster here I have bought a Tenda W150 wireless router to connect my sky+ HD box to my old school home hub 1.0 or even 1.5. I get a service connection fail which according t the sky forum can be cleared by changing the home hub multiplexing setting to LLC. Can someone tell me how I do that please? Ta Tel

You cannot change any settings like that within the BT home hub, it is locked down.
There are people on this forum using Sky Anytime without problems, if you do a forum search, especially on the Infinity forum.

Using multiple Home Hubs as access points

I have a BT Infinity connection using a Home Hub 5, however the signal is poor or non existant in parts of my house. I have Cat5e wired to some of the rooms around my house, so could I connect 1 or 2 additional Home Hub 5s to extend/improve the signal? If this is possible is it easy to configure?
Thanks

Is there an option on the signal box setup, to specify a static IP address?
If there is, then try the following settings.
IP address 192.168.1.50
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 192.168.1.254
DNS Server 192.168.1.254
You can then setup port forwarding to that static IP address.

Restricting Wireless Access using BT Home Hub

Hi
I am trying to set up my BT home hub so that my daughter can only have limited access (fed up with her being on FB 24/7!)
I thought I had done by using the set up access mode, but I have a feeling that this is not working all the time. Has any one else managed to successfully do this?
Thank you for reading and would be grateful of any advice as this is driving us to the brink!

Did you follow the intructions on this site?
http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/11364/~/what-is-bt-access-control-and-how-do-i-set-it...
Are you sure that she is not simply bypassing it via the hub manager?
You could change the hub manager password.

Home Hub 3 Access Control not working

Not sure if anyone can help with this, but here goes!
I have access control enabled on my HomeHub 3 which should stop my daughter from using the Internet between 9:00pm and 3:00pm - it seems to be working in as much as she isn't able to access the internet from her laptop from the time she gets up until 3:00pm, but it doesn't stop her using the internet at 9:00pm, in fact she can still quite happily access the internet up until 10:30 or even later.
I have tried restarting the hub, switching access control off and back on and delting and re-instating the device block but none of these seem to work properly, so any advice would be gratefully received.
I'm also having problems with wireless connectivity, but I've put that in a different post as I think it probably needs different expertise

It could be because the time on the hub is an hour slow because it has not updated to BST. This is a known problem which BT were going to sort out within a few days! See here and elsewhere in these forums: http://community.bt.com/t5/Other-BB-Queries/Clocks-Forward/td-p/448429.
Pending resolution of the problem, putting the Access Control times back an hour might do it. (It has been reported that the alternative of setting the time manually can result in the hub not keeping time very well.)

NAT TYPE 3 on PS3 using BT HOME HUB

Recently I have noticed that my NAT Type has changed from OPEN to STRICT on my PS3. This is causing problems when connecting to online games. Quite often I will not be able to connect to game, friends will not be able to connect to me if I am host and also I get signed off the PSN network randomly. This has only started happening recently.
I have read about this on other threads and it appears to be a problem with the BT HOME HUB. I have the older white version (not sure what model type).
Can anyone advise if BT intend to address this common problem with connecting to online games through a BT Home Hub?
It would appear that obtaining NAT Type 2 from NAT Type 3 can be quite a tricky process. Again I would be grateful if anyone has any advice on how to do this and whether ti is worth trying.
If this issue is not resolved soon I may have to consider if I will renew my contract with BT as it would appear it is a recent upgrade to the BT Home Hub that has caused the problem.
I did not have any major connection issues until recently.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

try this mate,it was for my old bt205 but when i got my first hub i had to use these settings also.oh and another 1 to look for is in your hub settings 192.168.1.254 then go in to advanced settings and look at your network ( have your xbox on ) your hub should list the things connected to it,now pick the xboxlive from the dropdown box and pair it up this should always give you open nat,if it goes strict again unplug router/hub power line for 2 mins then reboot and reboot your 360.

Connection issue with PS3 using BT home hub 5

Hi guys i have recently switched to BT infifnity and the BT home hub 5, now i cannot acces the playstation store, i can sign in, i can get on the web, I can got to amazon and download a film,etc, but everytime ive gone to the store is says the its down for scheduled maintenance, and i know thats not the case as ive phoned Sony support who have told me thats not the case. ive tried port forwarding , and putting the PS3 into DMZ?...but nothing seems to work , I cant find anything online about it either, so any help would be most welcome. Thanks.

Sorry I missed the bit about the PS3 store is the problem and everything else is fine,I replied to a topic earlier linked below.
http://community.eu.playstation.com/t5/PS3/PlayStation-Store/m-p/23497490#M2056477
In a nutshell delete and re-install the Playstation store app and check your PS3's systems date and time is correct.

Home hub 5 access controls

The access controls in the HH5 allow restrictions on a time basis - is there any way of setting different time limits on different days? Eg I want to restrict access on school days but be less constrained during the weekend. I have had other routers in the past that allow me to do this but HH5 does not appear to be as flexible. Comments appreciated.

If you are happy to apply restrictions to all devices, so they cannot access sites that would interfere with homework, then the new BT parental controls may be a better option.
You can set the time period when these restrictions would apply.
http://bt.custhelp.com/app/hub/c/346,6679
These are network based, so all devices including phones and tablets will be affected.

Can I use old Home Hub (White one) on Infinity ? M...

I upgraded to Infinity a few months ago.
The black v2.0 hub has developed a hardware fault......power light on, but can't connect to the DSL Modem.
I have tried all the resets (power......hard reset button, etc), and reported the fault.
A replacement is on order, but will take a few days to arrive.
I still have the old white Hub and was wondering if I could use that while I wait for the replacement v2.0 to arrive.
As users of BT Vision, it is a right pain having to wait for the new unit.
Any (relevent) advice appreciated..........

white hub will not work with infinity

Mail won't send emails using BT home hub 3

Had this problem and found little help through the genius bar.
If anyone has this problem in future refer to this URL:

Hope it helps.

Hmmm…then try creating a new User account for testing purposes, setup Mail there with the same settings and see if the password is accepted there. If it is, that would seem to suggest that your Mail preferences file is corrupt, and the only way to be certain and correct it is to remove the current one and create a new one.
If you have to do that, there are different steps depending on whether you have a POP account, an IMAP account, or a combination of both, so let us know before you do anything so we can give you the correct instructions.

Home hub 3 as second router (access point) - anyon...

Hi all, I have my infinty connection from the modem to a netgear wndr4500 cable router. I am trying to get a better signal upstairs but using the home hub 3 as a secondary router / wifi point (connected to the netgear with homeplugs). I have done all the necessary changes such as disabling dhcp on the hh3 and changing its ip address to one on the same network as the netgear but outside of its dhcp range (192.168.1.254). uPnP is enabled on both routers. I can log into the settings page on the hh3 and it even tells me the list of devices on the network in its network diagram (all connected via the netgear). I can connect the hh3 wirelessly but cannot reach the Internet. Anyone help me out? Edit: since typing this I cannot connect to the hh3 wirelessly anymore as it will not assign an ip address. Oh and Ethernet cable is LAN port to LAN port.

Thanks Keith for the guide.
Once I printed it, I just walked myself through and it appears to have worked! This morning I had a few concerns about accessing a network storage area connected to the main hub, from the slave, but my concerns were unfounded. I found the same with the printer. Without the slaved access, the printer's wifi connectivity throughout the house was patchy. Connected to the slave, it seems back to a solid thing again.
Now just the Sure Signal to sort out. Does anyone have experience with Sure Signals and this sort of arrangement? I acutally think the issue with that is the HH5, rather than the master/slave arrangement.

Connect Netgear access point to Home Hub?

Before I switched to using a Home Hub 2, I was using a Netgear router/modem (DG834G).
And I also had a Netgear WPN802 access point connected to the DG834G router/modem (via ethernet cable), and this enabled me to connect to internet using wifi from another location in my house. Just seemed to work.
But I can't seem to get this to work with the Home Hub. When the access point is plugged in to the Home Hub, it doesn't seem to show up in the Devices part of the Home Hub, and I can't connect to the access point via its default IP address (192.168.0.231). I can't see anything in the Home Hub to configure to make this work. On the access point, the ethernet light is lit, which suggests that it can "see" something on the other end of the cable (and the light goes out when I unplug the other end from the Home Hub).
Any hints?
Thanks.

You will need to change the default IP address of the Netgear WPN802 so that it is in the same subnet as the home hub.
The full details on how to do this are here http://kbserver.netgear.com/pdf/wpn_802_ref_manual.pdf
Look at page 23 and change the IP address in the Basic settings.
You could change it to 192.168.1.231 if you wish. It would still not show on the home hub because it is manually assigned. But it should work fine.
I have an additional Belkin wireless access point on my hub, which uses the address 192.168.1.200, and that works fine.

Do Not Wish To Use BT's Home Hub 4 After Infinity ...

Hi
I am due to have BT Infinity 2 installed next Thursday 1st August and want to prepare as fully as I can in readiness for the visit.
Right now I am with Sky Unlimited Broadband getting 13.5 down and 0.7 up. I am promised at least 58 down and 17 up - we will see My Sky Router currently operates in "Modem only mode" and feeds my own router, a Netgear WNR3500 which serves my house well for both ethernet and wifi.
What I require from the Engineer's visit is for him to do whatever he has to with the "Master Socket", and swap the BT Modem for the Sky one and continue to utilise the WNR3500. i.e. I'd rather not use the Home Hub 4 router if at all possible. The Home Hub only has 1 gigabit ethernet outlet whereas my Netgear router has all 4 sockets enabled for gigabit lan. Indeed I have a further 4-port gigabit switch linked into the Netgear for other device useage.
So can a simple swap of the modems suffice?
Will the engineer need to tinker with the Netgear's settings - if so what will he need to do please?
I don't want the Netgear router's settings disturbed if it can be helped as they have been set up with many devices (ethernet and wifi) in mind and I seriously do not want to have to mess with them post Infinity 2.
Can anyone shed some light please on whether this will be possible (I believe it can) with some details as to the settings that need to be made to the Netgear router for it to operate alongside the Infinity 2 modem please.
Many thanks in anticipation of advice

Hi all - thanks for your replies.
Yes I am fully aware that it is a 2-box installation and that the BT Engineer will fetch an Openreach modem with him this Thursday to swap with the Sky one.
I am just concerned that with 2 x media players, 1 TV, 2 Blu ray players, a PS3, 2 x servers, 3 x mobile phones as well as 2 x desktops, 1 x Sky box and 4 laptops in our household, all networked either by ethernet or wireless, that any tinkering with my existing router or network settings, could knock one or some of these devices out.
I agree that maybe it could be best for the engineer to install the HH4 in the first instance - indeed I would like to see if the wireless coverage is better than my Netgear Router's. To be fair to the HH4, the only thing making me want to stick with the Netgear is that the HH4, like most modems supplied by internet providers, is not fully equipped with 4 x Gigabit Ethernet ports. My Netgear provides Gigabit Ethernet to 3 separate rooms, all Cat-6 cabled and when Streaming High Definition - lets say a Blu ray image 3D with DTS HD Master Audio it is imperitive that I have Gigabit Lan ports. There is a debate as to whether T/100 ports will suffice - the maximum bandwidth I have noticed playing anything is around 85mbps, which in theory, should work with T/100 ports but I think I will feel easier with Gigabit ones.
It will be cool to try out the HH4 though as I have heard good things regarding it's wireless coverage. Our house is large and in one upstairs room wifi is "hit and miss" - if for example you get a connection that is good but it can easily disconnect - extremly frustrating when watching catchup TV! I have tried with a "Wireless Extender" but this cuts down the speed. That said with a possible 58mbps on tap with Infinity, the Extender's ovehead will still leave a sizable speed.
So in summary as long as the Engineer doesn't tinker with my PC's settings - but I believe BT state I must make my PC available (what for?) - then I am cool with the initial installation of the HH4.
Problem is I cannot make the visit this Thursday as I am working, so my daughter needs to be taught a few things so she can understand the Engineer and relay back to me. I have to tidy things up too lol! The floor of my study where everything will be, including the existing and new master socket, is a right mess so I will start tidying up later.
So finally please assure me that my network will not be affected in any way and when I disconnect the HH4 and substitute the Netgear Router, all I need to do is amend my router's Basic Settings to provide a Username/password login as mentioned above and to switch to "OTHER" (Internet Type), which will place the Netgear in a position to accept a PPPoE signal from the modem.
If I have missed anything please let me know.
Thanks again for taking the time and interest in reading this thread.

Faxing using home hub 3

Not sure if this is possible. My set up is Home hub 3 running BT Infinity, computer wirelessly connected. (excellent service managing 35M average).
Can I use the computer to send an occassional fax using the home hub. If so how do I set it up?
Regards
Gerry D
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I got on to BT and told them of the problem, the lady I spoke to kept saying that it was my Printer/Fax Machine that was at fault. I was talking to her for over an hour trying to explain that a fax machine is basically a phone that sends data over the phone line. I was eventually past on to someone else and had to explain it all over again. He was quite helpful and tested the line while I was doing a fax test and told me to do several tests with the fax machine and to do speed tests as well to see if the broadband speed drops and that he would ring back in the morning. When he rang back I told him that I had the same problem of the DSL light on the router going off then flickering when I pluged in a corded phone. He passed me on to someone else to book an engineer to check the wiring, but the person I then spoke to wouldn't have it that the installition of infinity could have been wired incorrectly and said that if they sent an engineer that I would be charged £90. I told her to forget it. I have had enough of BT broadband and the messing around I've had over the past year so when my contract comes to an end in March I will be switching to a cable company for my broadband so then I will be able to use my fax machine without affecting the broadband connection.
Thanks for all your help, it's just a shame that I couldn't get any from BT.
