Using the BT Smarthub 6 on a Plusnet Account

[#1]

Try plusdsl.net that's what my username ends with anyway.

Cheers

Please check the latest piccy - I am using the correct username.

[#3]

I did mate, yours says plusnetdsl.net

[#4]

christ you're right....I am such an idiot.

[#5]

Ok all working once I actually put the right credentials in. You guys are awesome!

[#6]

Excellent

@Baldrick1 Sorry to ask a silly question, but I'm in that kind of mood tonight.

If I change my router to a HH6 (Business), which is looking highly likely, is there anything I can use in place of RouterStats with it? I really need to be able to monitor SNR &c with my slightly wonky connection, and am aware that no RS version will be developed to support it.

[#8]

Sorry, routerstats will not work with it.  The advanced broadband screen will tell you the current SNR but there's no way I'm aware of to log the results.

[#9]

OK, @Baldrick1 - not a major problem,  just that I like logging facilities to watch trends, or have hard evidence of a prolem.

My BT Business Smart Hub records the SNR each time it reconnects, and stores it in the Event Log:

Home>Advanced Settings>Technical Log, click on Event log.

To save scrolling through hundreds of pages, you can export it. It downloads as a csv, then just do a text search for 'SNR'.

My connection is very stable so there's usually a log gap between reconnects - so not exactly dynamic recording, but better than nothing.

Mine is always the same anyway: SNR Margin Down=6.00dB,  SNR Margin Up=3.10dB

A nice little nugget of info, thanks.

I wonder if the new BT Smart Hub2 will work with plusnet ?

apparently you are unable to  separate the frequencies on the BT Smart Hub 2.

[#13]

I though BT Smart Hub had reached 6? Why is "2" new?

[#14]

The BT Home Hub went up to 5

Then BT Smart Hub came out

Now BT Smart Hub 2 is out.

Thanks. I see the Smart Hub 2 has "complete wifi' (i.e. mesh networking) and "DECT", otherwise features are the same. Techadvisor's review says internet connection speed is the same, but WiFi speed is 10-15% faster.
