Do want to use a BT Homehub 3 or 2 on Plusnet ADSL or FTTC?
Yes, you could replace the PN router with the HH2 - you'd still need the openreach modem.
You could replace the modem and router with a HH5 - but there are other all in one solutions that you could consider.

You either replace the technicolor router and connect it to the modem, or use it to replace both the router and modem and connect it direct to the VDSL socket on your master phone socket.
You scrap the Plusnet router and the BT Openreach modem altogether and connect the hub directly to the wall jack where your line comes in.
The homehub 5 has the modem inbuilt which handles fibre.

Hello
Yes, Type A and Type B hubs will work on the Plusnet Broadband Service
Hi, Your issue seems to be unaware to me. When you are in the settings is the router connected to the Openreach modem or if using a hub 5 is it connected to the wall socket? Your <username>@plusdsl.net login should work. Don't get this confused by your Plusnet email address.
As for your relative, when he enters the 'made up' Plusnet credentials does it grant internet access?
He will not be able to use the Home Hub on Sky since they lock their service to only be used with their supplied routers and no other router (except Sky) will work on his Sky Broadband connection.

I bought a Home Hub 5 (Type A) to use on my Plusnet ADSL and when I get to this step
Quote from: NorthEasterner
4 . Click Settings (Along top tabs) then at the bottom you will see 'Enter your Broadband username and password (for non BT Total Broadband customers)'
It isn't there, I have no option in any screen that I can find to enter a "Broadband username and password (for non BT Total Broadband customers", I have tried entering it in the screens that do have usernames and passwords
(in "settings" and "advanced settings" but in both cases I get a message that "The Broadband username that you've entered is either incorrect or is not supported by your BT Home Hub. Please check your username and try again."
I've reset the router twice, without any change in this. What exactly am I missing?
Is there anywhere that I can carry out this step?
Quote from: NorthEasterner
Username - bthomehub@btbroadband.com
Password -
change it to
Username - <yourplusnetusername>@plusdsl.net (don't include <> )
Password - The password you used to sign up to plusnet.
My hub software is 4.7.5.1.83.8.173.1.6 last updated 06/05/14
Oddly, who has a Home Hub 4 from when he was with BT, says it will accept a made up Plusnet username, but not his Sky broadband one.
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks

Good Afternoon,
I'm glad your Hub 5 is now working with your Plusnet connection.
As for your friend, the Sky Broadband credentials will not work on a BT Hub. Only certain credentials are allowed and Plusnet is one of them (since they are owned by BT)
It may be worth suggesting to your friend to purchase the BT Hub 4R version which allows the Hub to connect to any internet supplier (Like TalkTalk, Direct Save Telecom, Zen Internet).
However after looking on Google 'Sky broadband using a different router' you need to extract the user name and password but many people have different experiences.
Another suggestion is that to buy a 'cable' router so it doesn't have a modem inside of it, and then use the Sky supplied router as a modem and connect the Sky router to the 'cable' router and then use that instead. But this is a slightly more complex set up for the average user.
Many thanks,
NE
