I have one of the earlier BT Home Hubs, the white one, (can't find any id on
it but it is software release 6.2.6.H, software variant BP, product code
36143610, Board name Bant-Z )

Recently it's been hanging. Stays up for a few hours then disconnects. End
result is my line is being ip profiled down to a painful speed. BT phone
line seems ok (Ive reported a possible fault)

Now I have a brand new BT identical hub. Can I just swap them over or is
there internal information that the €˜far end needs to match for it to work.
Id like to use it as an elimination exercise.

Now I have a brand new BT identical hub. Can I just swap them over or
is there internal information that the 'far end' needs to match for
it to work. I'd like to use it as an elimination exercise.

I only have a sample of one (when I talked someone through that change).
Simply unplugging old and plugging in new worked for her (plus of course
new wireless associations and new admin p/w). I advised that on the
basis of no more than the reasoning that even BT would make the switch
simple and robust givenm the zillions of home hubs they issue. But that
may of course be a naive assumption so please don't come after me with a
large garden gnome if you end up having to communicate by smoke signals


Connection did take a while to settle down though (as with a new one).

The original was fine here via aioe. Although it did include an HTML
attachment. Some are obviously using newsreaders that can't cope.

If your speed is so dire, maybe you should just try it and see?

When I put in HH1 you had to configure it with account username & pawsword.
On newer version it self configures to your line, don't know it that
works retrospectively ... plug iot it and see if it syncs up.

My experience of swapping an original Home Hub for a newer model second hand
Home Hub is that swapping them just works.
