BT HomeHub 4 or 5 with Plusnet?

Hi All,
My broadband has switched to plusnet and need an adsl router - wondering if bt homehub 4 or 5 will work with plusnet?
I'm on ADSL not fibre.
thanks!

YES. Check the library.
But basically just factory reset (to remove the FON) and DON'T use a backup to restore the settings from BT.
It just needs your pn username/password entered.

Both Homehub 4 AND 5? I've read about Homehub 5 on the forums but wasn't sure if it only worked for fibre.

I have a 2 and looking at Google I'm informed it can't be used, how did you manage?

dnpark38 - You're on Fibre, not ADSL.

I had to flash it with the custom firmware first. Long time ago now though so don't have the info anymore.
If you are on fibre then the HH5 is your best bet.
