It's weird my hub shows the firmware as upgraded on 4th Jan 2017, but the firmware version has stayed the same at SG4B10002244... How strange.

When was it last rebooted?
It might not of restarted, so it might of been upgraded, but requires a reboot for the new firmware to take effect.

My one got upgraded to SG4B10002244 and had it for a few days before I realised and for some reason it hadn't rebooted itself, so it was stating the old version until I rebooted it.

Ok, it seems that my Smart Hub rebooted 00:10 this morning with the following in the logs:

00:10:25, 12 Jan. ppp0:Connection to the Internet has been terminated.(Reboot,Reconfiguration,forced termination)

This is the first time I have seen this log due to the smart hub seems to empty its logs just under 2 days.

Yep, I am fairly sure they all reboot even a device I used as an AP would reboot.

I got to 21 days once in the past, but that almost certainly was some kind or error.

I have just got a Netgear D6400 but the wireless is quite a bit worse than the SmartHub so not sure what to do.

Well I don't think its a reboot due to the information below:

Connection status: Connected 

BT Broadband /
BT Infinity /
BT Infinity 3 and 4: BT Infinity 3 and 4
Firmware version: SG4B10002244
Firmware updated: 22-Dec-2016
Serial number: ---
Network uptime: 0 Days, 23 Hours 50 Minutes 
System uptime: 9 Days, 10 Hours 16 Minutes 
BT Wi-fi status: Not active

When the Smart Hub does a reboot both Network and System uptimes are reset, but as you can see only the Network uptime has been reset.
The connection was down though for at least 5 mins with loads of PPPoE error: timeout so something happened.

TBH I was really hoping the Netgear device was going to be good, if my FRITZ!Box 3390 wasn't good enough bandwidth wise for my connection I was going to look into one of those as well or a Netgear D7x00 series.

Smarthub has an RSSI of -54dBm and TX rate: 1053Mbps
Netgear has an RSSI of -64dBm and TX rate of below 400Mbps consistently.
Same location...
Using the same channel and 80Mhz channel width.

Generally quite a bit disappointing to have worse wireless by quite a big margin.

It works fine with BT TV though and extremely easy setup. You just select ISP BT and it asks "do you want to enable BT TV?" All Youview channels stream just fine. I was setup in less than 5 minutes.

For now though I'm back on the Smarthub.

Well just an update, it seems that my Smart Hub has kept its connection for just over 19 days so far shown below:

Connection status: Connected 
...
Firmware version: SG4B10002244
Firmware updated: 22-Dec-2016
Serial number: ---
Network uptime: 19 Days, 6 Hours 50 Minutes 
System uptime: 19 Days, 6 Hours 52 Minutes 
BT Wi-fi status: Not active

So I guess I will have to check again in the next few days.

Again i have no idea what it does but it updated to it in the night.

Well this is weird, i posted that on the 15th of December and just now this happened


Firmware version:
SG4B10002244

Firmware updated:
14-Mar-2017

its the same firmware as was installed just about 3 months ago.

Did you reset the hub? That's what typically causes that to show.

Maybe it got a new firmware and then reverted back to the previous version.

Mine is still using that firmware I got back in December shown below:

Connection status: Connected 
...
Firmware version: SG4B10002244
Firmware updated: 22-Dec-2016
Serial number: ---
Network uptime: 27 Days, 22 Hours 19 Minutes 
System uptime: 27 Days, 22 Hours 21 Minutes 
BT Wi-fi status: Not active

At least there isn't the 14 day reboot
