Hi @Baldrick1 Thank you for setting up instructions for HH 6, not very good at tech stuff but all up and running.
One thing maybe you could advise, probably an obvious answer, on PN Home Manager it showed all my Wifi connections. On BT Home Manager, out of 11 devises connected it only shows a few each day. I thought it may be that they hadn't been in use for a few hours and had dropped off the list, but makes no difference. All of them are connected using the new hub details and are working, but wondered why they don't all show like they did the first day? I know if it's not broke don't fix it, but just curious
Thanks again.

@Wombat22 Welcome to the forum.
I have no idea what a BT Home Manager is,
If you log into the Smarthub and go to the My Network tab it should show all your devices. If they are not currently connected they will remain shown until, from memory, the lease is renewed, which again from memory is set to 1 day, I have increased mine to 21 days. Is this where you are looking? If you are just looking at the drop down list on this page is the filter set to Show All?

Thanks for your reply, my mistake, page is called BT smart hub manager.
On " my devices ", it shows Ethernet 3 , 2.4. =5 and 5ghz =2. Makes 10 devices, yet 14 are connected. Just wondered why all 14 are not shown as the were on the PN equivalent, does it matter or should I be looking elsewhere ?

Just wanted to say thanks for the instructions on page 1.
Bought a BT HH6 and just connected it all succesfully. Seems to be working lovely.

I installed the BT business Smart Hub 6 yesterday and no issue following instruction in OP. It also updated the software to the latest version at the same time.
However I noticed that if I go to the Home page, not Status, the box or section "Public wifi" & "BT wifi" is greyed out with message "activating". If I click on the box it opens and I can see in the top section it states "Public wifi, Wifi network name; BTWi-fi. Activating. Guest Wifi; Free wifi for guests. This is set to off.
However underneath it has;
Create a pay-to-use wi-fi hotspot.
BT customers can sign-in for free.
I cannot turn this off as it is "greyed" out. Is it possible to turn it off as there isn't any option in the "Status" page? I don't want others logging into my router. Thanks.

The greying out on the home page confirms that it's not active. It might be that this needs a little time to access the BT servers and realise that it's not connected to a BT account before you can turn it off when you click on the greyed out box. Even if you have a BT account I think that this can take 24 hours to switch. Note that even if it's showing as on it can't be used by other people. The feature just doesn't work if there's no associated BT account.

You can do it on your computer, without the dsl lead in, only plug the dsl lead in to the master socket when you are going to connect.
