I just switched from BT. The router makes a constant hissing sound. Does anyone know how to fix this? It's especially annoying because it's right by my bed. Thanks

@Flagstaffer Welcome to the forum.
If you still have your BT Hub then use that. Many of us use a BR Smarthub 6 as they are better (and quiet) than the Plusnet Hub One, which is an old BT Home Hub 5A with Plusnet firmware.
Setting instructions are here: https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/Using-the-BT-Smarthub-6-on-a-Plusnet-Account/m-p/1587673#M85...

Yeah, It's still hissing, but I have gotten used to it. I'm planning to change over to BT - a little nervous about that. I was all set to do it this week - it's been a busy week - but then the doorbell went, so I was saved.
Can I get onto the 192.number without being hooked up to internet. That's the part I'm worried about. Because if I unplug the plusnet router and don't have the other router connected. But I'm assuming that I can - so am planning to go for it - one of these days when the house is quiet.
I'll let you know how it goes. Plusnet drops a lot - but BT did too, so I guess we are used to that.
Thanks for the welcome and all the advice. I will let you know how it goes.

Yes, it's a local IP address that has nothing to do with the actual Internet connection.
