Latest router

Just wondering how I can get the latest router for PlusNet, had the same one for a couple of years. Looking through the forums the current one is a rebadged BT HH6 model. Looking at images from Google seems like I have the older HH5.

@mrk4thom2  Welcome to the forum.

I'm sorry, you are misreading the forum. The current Plusnet Hub One is a rebadged old BT Home Hub 5A. This hasn't been changed for years and there is no indication that it will in the near future.

You will see references to the BT Smarthub 6 on this forum as many of us has dumped the Plusnet hub as the Smarthub 6 is far better.

The Plusnet Hub One is a BT HH5A. As far as I know there is no later one that Plusnet offer.

Whilst all Smarthub 6s work I recomment a model 088315 if you can find one. This is a Business FTTC version. The advantage of the Business models is that you can select your own DNS server if you wish plus there are other tweaks not available on the standard residential models.

You might come across the FTTP version. These are identified by a red WAN sticker of one of the yellow LAN sockets. These also work but you lose the use of one of the LAN ports.
