powerdesal Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I have been given a BT Home Hub 5 - type A.Is it likely to be of any use to me here in France and, if so, how do I rig it up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnOther Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Limited use without hacking and what do you think it would do for you over and above what you have anyway ?[url]http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/networks/8046/how-to-use-the-bt-home-hub-5-with-another-isp[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quillan Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 If you have voip fr your phone like say from Orange then it won't work with the BT router.As said if you have high speed internet and you want high speed WiFi to match then the BT router can supply that, it's very good at WiFi high speed @ 1300 mbps much faster than say the Livebox 2. Thing is it all depends how fast your ADSL link is? If it is low it is like trying to get a thousand litres of water through a1" pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnOther Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 That's right, unless you are routinely pumping gigabytes of data around a home network there is no point at all in having WiFi speed which is faster then the underlying ADSL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerdesal Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 Thanks for all that.We have voip via a livebox and don't want to lose the phone so I guess I will just bin the home-hub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnOther Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Binning seems a bit drastic, they seem to have some value on eBay UK.I'd have it just for curiosities sake ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerdesal Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 In that case I may just give it back to my daughter and suggest she advertise it on e bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
