BT Home Hub 2.0

Apart from a sleek new design, the BT Total Broadband Home Hub 2.0 is packed with extra features:

Wireless 'N' Technology

BT Home Hub 2.0 uses "802.11n", or "11n" wireless technology. This wireless 'N' technology is the latest available and gives you the best wireless range and connection. The previous versions of the BT Home Hub use "802.11g" or "11g" wireless technology.

'N' technology makes better use of wireless signals by reflecting them more around a room, improving your home's coverage and giving you a better connection. With Hub 2.0 you will get up to twice the wireless range compared to routers provided by any other Internet Service Provider. However, the range you'll get does vary, depending on the layout of your home.

Secure

To help stop unauthorised users accessing your wireless network, your BT Home Hub 2.0 uses WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) wireless security, which replaces the older WEP (Wired Equivalent Protocol) security.

Access Control

BT Access Control lets you set times when certain devices on the home network can't connect to the Internet.

This can be handy, for example, if you'd like to cut down on the amount of time your children are online. BT Access Control will block all incoming and outgoing Internet traffic to specific devices at the times you choose.

Power Saving

BT Power Save lets you choose a time period every day when the wireless signal on your BT Home Hub 2.0 is switched off to save power.
