BT Home Hub 4.0 - is it in the works?

Rowan Hedge · 22/03/13 - 05:19

Reason I ask is that a mate was sent this new BT Home Hub last week as part of a trailing scheme he is a member of. To describe it I'd say its smaller than the current Infinity Hub, black and silver front with a steady blue light along a light strip.

I tried to take a picture but he was not happy about me doing so hence I had to delete it,.

If it is as good as the HH3 but with 5GHz i will be delighted. I was set to hate the HH3 with a passion but 18 months later it is still going about its business quietly and reliably.

Wow 5Ghz that's a good improvement I'll look forward to getting it then. I didn't get invited to the trial unfortunately.

BT claim that nearly all returned HHs are not faulty.

Yeah I'd agree with that

Do you know how fast the wireless link of the HH4 connects?

I've just received my HH3. Whereas my (non-fibre) Netgear router connects wirelessly to my PC at 300Mbps, the HH3 only seems to at 130Mbps. Since both are 802.11n devices, why is this?

1. 2.4GHz. - 130Mb/s, 5GHz. - 300 Mb/s

2. There are different implementations of 802.11n.

I've been saying it for years, based on experience of the boxes, but many of the the good people of Interweb Land always know better.

I left this forum at least twice in the past by bloody amateurs telling me they know better than me with respect to my job, profession or calling.

I agree it is infuritating. It's happening to me in another thread, people 'talking to their mates' who do this or that job (but never my exact job). Then coming back and trying to correct me.

Go in to the advanced wireless settings (wireless interface type) and enable the 40MHz mode.

I've enabled 40Mhz mode and still never seen over 130Mbps.

I wouldn't let people drive u away. I've got hh3 and would likje feedback on hh4.

[Deleted User] · 24/04/13 - 19:43

The HH4 will be a dual band as opposed to to the single band HH3 so i'm lead to believe...

Hey there!
