BT Home Hub Help - Versions of the Home Hub

BT Home Hub Version 2.0: Released in July 2008, see the Home Hub 2.0 review for full details and images.

Here are the main changes from v1.5:

• Support for the faster 802.11n standard - increased range (with suitable wi-fi hardware)
• Better power efficiency - the Hub can go into a power saving mode.
• Two additional Ethernet sockets
• Option to restrict Internet access to some devices by time (restrict kid's access)
  
  

BT Home Hub Version 1.5: Launched in October 2007, based on the original Hub, and appears to be using the same core software.

Here are the main changes from v1.0:

• New shape - A shorter, squarer, more curvy Hub
• A 'Restart' button on the side - to save having to remove and insert the power lead whenever the Hub locks (a more stable Hub would remove the need for a Restart button, of course!)
• Sockets on the back repositioned, and the hinged flap removed - for easier access to connectors.
• A more flexible aerial that can swivel 180 degrees, not just 90 degrees.
• No more flashing 'Data' light - and a new 'Upgrading' light
• The Hub can share it's bandwidth to other surfers, as part of BT Fon
  
  

BT Home Hub Version 1: The first version of the BT Home Hub was released in 2006.

The hardware was made by Inventel, and based on the Thomson Speedtouch 7G broadband router.
