How do I get a new router

amsmith50 — Tue, 25 Feb 2020 11:26:13 GMT

How do I get a new plusnet router? Plus if I decide to buy one that isn't Plusnet, can someone recommend a good cheap one I can buy to replace the one I have got.

Thanks

@amsmith50

Plusnet will give you one for the cost of P&P if you renew your contract.

If you want a better router for very little more go onto an auction site such as EBay and buy a BT Smarthub 6.

Setting instructions are here. https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/Using-the-BT-Smarthub-6-on-a-Plusnet-Account/m-p/1587673#M8557

Bear in mind that The BT Smart Hubs will only work with BT or Plusnet. The BT Smart Hub (hub6) however is much better than the present router currently supplied by plusnet.

I bought a bt smart hub 2 from eBay last week for £40 Inc p&p, I'd recommend it, works great, as stated above will only work with plusnet and BT tho and make sure your password has no special characters in it just letters if you go that route.
