Thanks for the prompt reply.

Looks quite nice as routers go, easy enough to set up, better than having a separate modem and router too.

From the images and videos online, it looks like a HH4 with a blue strip. Doesn't look as good with the blue strip, but I guess that's personal preference.

Any idea's about the power usage compared to the two box setup?

I received my HH5 on Monday and just had broadband activated. Obviously I can't write a review of the HH5 yet, given that I've only been on for half an hour, but will try to update in time.

The Openreach engineer seemed surprised that I had one (he read through the booklet too) once I mentioned that I had the 5 (he was about to install the white box).

You can also see line stats at least some, can you copy and paste over here what they've made available to you. I know the testers have various firmware versions, would be nice to see what BT has chosen to go with for release Hubs.

Is this what you're looking for?


VDSL Line Status



Connection Information

Line state: Connected
Connection time: 1 days, 08:03:16
Downstream: 78.12 Mbps
Upstream: 19.53 Mbps

Indeed it is, but there might be more!

Follow these instructions!

1. Go to 192.168.1.254 (Home Hub)
2. Click "Trouble shooting"
3. Then "Helpdesk"

Copy and paste the Information here, of course depending what is shown in the HomeHub 5 you may need to remove some so feel free if you're worried.

Thanks for the help

Self-Install is now going into Phase 2 by Openreach. [1]

[1] http://www.openreach.co.uk/orpg/home/updates/briefin...

So we have a few things showing such as...

6. Data rate: 20000 / 79995 (Sync speed)
7. Maximum data rate: 28156 / 91123 (Attainable)
8. Noise margin: 9.9 / 9.0
9. Line attenuation: 0.0 / 11.9
10. Signal attenuation: 0.0 / 11.9

Not much you can really do with this but at least it's an improvement!

The rest is all to do with wireless stats..

2.4 GHz Wireless connections: Enabled (802.11 b/g/n (up to 300 Mb/s)) 20/40 MHz, WPS enabled
16. 2.4 GHz Wireless security: WPA2

18. 2.4 GHz Wireless network/SSID:

21. 2.4 GHz Wireless channel: 11
22. 2.4 GHz Wireless network/SSID: BTWifi-with-FON
23. 2.4 GHz Wireless connections: Disabled
24. 2.4 GHz Wireless security: None
25. 2.4 GHz Wireless channel: 11
