BT hub versions ?

I'm thinking of replacing my Plusnet Hub One (FTTC) and I've seen posts about using a BT hub. Someone near me is selling a BT hub but they don't know what version it is. There must be something on the hub itself to say what version it is; could someone tell me how to find out what version the BT router is?
Which versions work on Plusnet?
Thanks.

I'm currently using BT Smart Hub 6, as the PlusNet One Hub's WiFi couldn't reach where I need it to. But - I've found that this Hub has slightly more random WiFi drops than PlusNet One Hub, so it's a trade off.
Also, I believe that the PlusNet One Hub, is basically just the BT Home Hub 5 and BT Home Hub 4, but rebranded in PlusNet's colours and logo. So no point buying any of those as they are just the same. I'm not 100% sure on this though, and somebody more knowledgeable may be able to clarify.

If you log into the router that will tell you.
It's only worth bothering with the two latest models, the Smarthub, sometimes called Smarthub 6 as it superceded the HomeHub 5 and Smarthub 2.

Thanks for the information about Smarthub 6
I haven't bought the router yet, so I can't log into it and the seller says she doesn't know what version it is

Hi Ponds. I have just done the swap from Plusnet to Bt Hub and on the back of the Bt Hub on the slide out section with the passwords etc it says BTHub6. So might be worth looking or asking seller to look for you.
