Replacement PN Hub

10TLHCW — Sun, 07 Dec 2025 21:38:43 GMT

Anyone know how I go about replacing my original PN Hub for a newer model?
I can’t see any links in my account to purchase one or am I better off picking one up on eBay?!
I’m not a gamer & have most high bandwidth usage items are wired so don’t need anything fancy, been using an AP to get around the Apple lock up issue!

@10TLHCW What Hub version have you got, and how old is it?

@10TLHCW welcome to the forum.

plusnet currently supply a Hub Two (the one with a round circle on the front).

You would need to phone in, new Hub are usually offered on contract renewal, free but your are charged P & P.

You could buy a third party device, but you need to ensure you get one for the service you have

Part Fibre (copper phone line) would need a combined modem/router. If you are Full Fibre then you are likely to have a Hub two already.

EDIT: what makes you think you need a new Hub?

I would like to know this information too. My router softwares hasn't been updated since 2019 which doesn't seem like it's very secure.

Evening all
I’m not sure how old my original hub is but it’s old enough to start to discolour! I want to replace it as, well if I’m honest, it’’s [-Censored-] & done all it can for me as an Apple user! It has the latest firmware available on it but it’s time to retire it!
I went with @Dan_the_Van suggestion & raised a ticket with PN (I didn’t fancy sitting on hold & it’s not urgent), they’re sending me a Hub 2 FOC & covering the P&P costs!
