Hello, I've received yesterday the new HH6 from BT and I thought to give a few comments for future users.
Situation:
- coming from hh5
- BT user for a bit more than one year (previously with Sky)
- Samknows white box user
- in the house : 3 mobiles, 2 tablets, 3 PCs (win 7), 1 NAS (Asustor), 1 smart tv, no topbox.
Pros:
Installation: straightforward. I believe the power supply is the same as HH5. Connect, wait, green, orange, blue. Online.
Nas was online and working
Upnp working with no issues (better than HH5)
Wifi slightly better than HH5, by a few more metres through brick walls.
2 Mbps upload gain
VPN working
Cons:
Lost 7 Mbps download
No DDNS except the ones allowed (so cannot use the NAS DDNS)
No loopback
NAS cannot acquire WAN anymore after several reboots of both
I still have to check if the ping has changed (yes I'm a gamer)
So for my requirements is a no go and I'll get back to HH5 tonight.
Let me know if you have questions.
