why do I have to change my hub one router to hub two?

Hello all, I'm considering changing my contract from 30 Mbps (with landline) to 40Mbps (without landline). Plusnet advise hub two. Why won't my hub one suffice?

The Hub1 is getting quite long in the tooth and the Hub2 is superior in performance. You do not have to change, but if I was in your shoes, I would take up the offer.

It is not possible to split the wireless 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz names on a Hub Two, it also only has three LAN ports other than that I would say it is superior to the Hub One.

You could stick with the Hub1 if it's meeting your needs but I would take the Hub2 as a back up. It's only £7.99 p&p.

 

Note your speeds won't actually change withour a landline. Your Internet is still beong provided down the same line.
