Re: Access Point for Garage

Just to clarify I "THINK" he has a BT Smarthub2 as his main router. That picture of the BACK with four LAN ports and a RED WAN port is presumably the device (or similar) intended to go in the garage - correct?

As noted above it looks like a BT HH5.A Plusnet Hub one is similar (very!) but white not black. The two are functionally almost identical.

 

@Tranquilitybase can you clarify please, which device is where?

Yes. That's right....I'm using the BT one as the main router. It looks just the same as the Plusnet one which was sent a few months ago when I joined them.

Re: Access Point for Garage

So the main router is a BT Smarthub 2 and the Plusnet device is a Hub One then? (the product name will be on the label affixed to the router)
If we are talking about a Hub One, and not a Hub Two, then you can ignore the advice about not using the fourth LAN port.
My instructional image will also be wrong as it's from a Hub Two, not a Hub One.
My instructions are still valid, it's just the various settings will be located in a slightly different place in the Hub One manager.

OK. Thanks for the clarification and, again, for you time in explaining this process so well.

I feel more confident now.
