Hi
Some Help Please with Purchase the BT Home Hub 6(for my connection)
I join PlusNet around 4 years back now & was supply a Technicolour 582n router
I was switching from standard broadband to fibre
On the day a BT open reach engineer came to replace the faceplate on my master phone socket
He also supplied the BT open reach modem
All was set up & work fine
Then around 6 mths later after viewing a post by North Easterner
I purchase a BT hub 5 Type B & setup all work well
Now my question is:
Which version of Bt home Hub 6 I need & how to find out
As the type B seem hard to get
My Current setup on the home hub 5 is plug RJ11 cable directly into the master socket then the other end into the Hub 5's DSL port.
There is nothing plug into the Red Wan port
How do I check which connection I have?
FTTC (Fibre to Cabinet)
Or
FTTP (Fibre to Premises)
As this would be useful before purchasing the BT home hub 6 router (or can I use any)
Thanks
In advance

I'm not on my proper computer and can't get the link to work so go to the Router forum and read the Smart Hub 6 Variants and Performance.post.

FTTC (Fibre to Cabinet)

You will be on FTTC
On PlusNet, FTTP is still classed as a trial & you would know if you had joined it.
The BT Smart Hub 6A should work

BT have produced two versions of the hub - the one for FTTP has a red sticker over port 4 (WAN)
The hub for FTTC has 4 yellow ports, which is the most common version available.
The Smart Hub 6 will work with Plusnet, but you will have to do a hard reset back to factory settings and then input your Plusnet username and password etc..
