New Customer: BT Home Hub to PlusNet Router, Back up from BT router - Restore to PlusNet?
Is it possible?
I've read on the forums how to use / configure a BT Home Hub on Plus net but this involves a Hard reset which would remove all of my extensive configuration. So my question is could I take a back up on my BT Home hub as it is now. Do the hard reset and add it on to PlusNet then do a restore of the data? Would this write over the Plusnet setting or would it restore my current configuration?
Or option 2 take a back up of my BT Home Hub, set up the new PlusNet router then do a restore to the PlusNet router (The back up from the BT Home Hub?)
Lots of firewall ports configured, for Synology and web cameras that I dont fancy changing / adding to a Virgin Router.....
Thanks in advance
Keith
Fixed! Go to the fix.

You could try without the hard reset. Back up your settings. Drop the connection, disconnect the dsl cable to make sure. Change the settings as advised on this forum and reconnect. You have nothing to lose.

Why not just carry on using the BT Router, all you need to change is the Username and Password?

That was my assumption, I should have mentioned it.

Yep just to confirm it was that easy.
Plusnet went live today.
I simply unplugged the ADSL cable logged into my BT Smart Hub, changed the username and password in the advanced section and hey presto it all burst into life. I didn't even have to reboot the router.
That's for all your help.
