Bt tv and infinity Internet

[Danith]

What does everyone else think? Personally I can't wait to jib them off an go back to sky. The TV is shite except for champions league and bt infinity is temperamental on wifi.

For some reason 50% of the time the WiFi is crap and I have to switch it off and on again on my devices to get it to work otherwise it's just constantly buffering, especially on Facebook.

Get a Billion 7800n, turn off DHCP and let that be your WiFi. Sussed.

Oh and do a few speed tests... it may not be your WiFi but a crap connection to the exchange.

The HomeHub is s**t for WiFi - we got rid of ours days after it was installed. We run an Asus router now.

Simple enough to swap over? I'm no computer buff

Being fair, our's is fine :/ = HH5. But we also have the Billion too - which is awesomez.

Super simple

How many devices? We were pushing above 20 so it became s**t - a known weakness on all the homehubs - it seems to drop DNS and then nothing on HTTP works - everything else is fine though

My hh5 is w**k, I'm always having wifi issues.

I'm very interested to hear improvement suggestions

Most free routers are s**t to be fair, at least with BT they're happy for you to change it.

Sky used to be right c***s if you wanted to use other hardware.

 

[Andy_con]

anyone going to post some suggested better setups than a bt HH5?

 

[Danith]

Is it just plug and play with a new router on bt?

um no, think you need to use the white modem

 

[Danith]

Modem? I'm lost. Ha don't get all this techy computer stuff.

With the white BT modem?

With the white BT modem?

Yep

 

[GiT]

You can use the HH5 too as a "Modem" and the Asus / Billion as the router

 

[jonzz]

um no, think you need to use the white modem

Thought the new hubs got rid of the modem?

I'm running a HH4 that has awful wifi drop out. Upgraded to infinity and got sent the new router yesterday. Plugged it in before the engineers been and its ran solid for 24hrs so far touch wood. Getting bt tv installed too with the uhd box. Just need a new to now.

 

[Nigel]

To should be tv. Damn autocorrect.

 

[Andy_con]

Thought the new hubs got rid of the modem?

they have on the hh5, but if you try to plug a none bt router in it wont work without the white box

 

[Danith]

To be honest it was as much a dig about the TV package as much as the Internet. I'm 100% going back to sky when I can.

Anybody had any experience with the netgear nighthawk series ?

Not had a decent router since i ditched my cisco when i upgraded to fibre but homehub 5 is driving me insane with its dns issues and wireless dropout

My hh3 was way better but obviously not having 2 boxes is better .

Looking at a netgear nighthawk 7800
