Old BT voyager router and BT Vision

Vennegoor · 03-08-2011, 20:26

I have an old reliable BT Voyager I've used for yonks, would this work with BT Vision?

I'm due a BT Vision delivery next week, and haven't used my HomeHub for years because it was crap and kept dropping. If I have to buy a new Home Hub I will, because the one I had seems borked, but would rather not.

Many thanks in advance.

Not sure. The home hub has QOS software on it to help prioritise BTVision data. I suggest you just try and see what happens. I would also try plugging the HH back in - they've had many firmware updates over the years and it may get updated online which might solve your issues. My HH1 was in use for years until BT sent me a new black one.

I have done this for a couple of days when my Home Hub packed up. It did work OK, although I had to reset it a couple of times while watching On Demand content. It's certainly fine for doing the basic stuff like downloading the EPG.

Thanks folks, it's one of the really old white HHs and seems knacked (not powering on), so will need to get a new one from BT.

Ok no problem - at least you know.
