My Router has BTBHub6-3SRH on the plastic removable tab/flap and on the rear BT Smart Business Hub - Type A
My Router Home Page it shows Fibre Broadband (VDSL} which is Fiber to the cabinet, Openreach say its coming 2026 to my area/private road. However some other provider had Fibre connections/boxes in the old Telephone cabinets in the ground along the pathway that runs from public road/street down our short 70-80m private road. Openreach does not have anything in the boxes. There is only only 80Mb Max FFTC to our properties.
Will i be able to use my above router for FTTP (premises) when it arrives?
My other (spare/backup) router Smart Hub 6 also Type A but not a Business has 4 yellow ethernet ports but no RED WAN port.

The only Smarthub 6 versions that will work on FTTP have a red WAN label stuck over one over one of the LAN sockets.

Rear of a Business FTTP Smarthub 6.These also work on FTTC via the DSL input. This is the same as a Plusnet Hub 2 is arranged to work.

Thanks Baldrick, i did attach a pic showing the 4 yellow ports in a row . 3 Yellow ethernet ports and one yellow port with a Red WAN sticker above/top of the port.
Any idea how powerfull these Smart Hub 6 are compared to newer routers like TP or Fritbox etc, are they still okish with a bit of life left, or really now behind,
i am unable to really evaluate, but mine is very reliable and provideswith good transfer speed between Router and Laptop Intel AC-9260 card which is ok.

I assume the DSL input is the yellow 4th port with the RED WAN sticker above

No, the DSL port is separate, a different colour and a different shape, and labelled 'DSL'.

The DSL input is the one on the left in your picture (sorry, I had missed that) labelled Broadband. It looks like you are currently using it.
With the move to Full Fibre you remove this connection and instead fit an Ethernet cable between the WAN socket and the new Full Fibre ONT.
In terms of performance it depends on what you need. Others have far more bells and whistles features and probably faster wireless speeds. You pays your money etc...

Sorry to sound so thick
my Hub 6 does not have DSL input anywheres, do you mean the light grey/off white Broadband socket telephone cord on the router. My Router is plugged in there and goes to the OpenReach MK4 Master Socket 5C on the lounge wall

sorry youre too quick for me, i was typing slowly when your reply/answer came. so my DSL input is the light grey socket market broadband on my router.
I thought if i had FTTP with that (black plastic box) my router would use an ethernet cable (i think) from the Red sticker WAN port to a socket/port on the the new FTTP black box.
I have i got this right?

@Empire If you have/had FTTP, OpenReach install a completely new ONT (Optical Network Termination), and you connect your router to that via an Ethernet cable, i.e. ONT>RED port on the Hub6.
BTW - OR installed ONTs are white, not black.

..........as i thought but was not certain. However by the time it reaches my road 2026 the router will be getting long in the tooth, and possibly not great at higher speeds, not that i really it now, my BB is reasonably fast i guess 60-65Mb ish on average, it varies throughout the day.

No doubt by that time, there will be newer routers, and as you would be changing product, and if you were still with PN, you would most likely be offered the latest router.
