BT Home Hub 6 (Smart Hub) on PlusNet

[#1]

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

Split to its own thread in Fibre for better visibility.

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.

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..
