Talk:BT Smart Hub

message: I have one of these devices, and I can safely say that not all of the software included is Open/Free in any way (the nmon.ko kernel module, and the userland application that controls the functionality in the router). It would be misleading to say that everyting in the router is GPL'd, as currently implied.
It also happens to use GPL/LGPL'd librtp, although no source is made available by BT.

replies: text: More likely someone with insufficient background knowledge has been at this. I will try to make some changes. BT HH is not free, it is only obtainable if you have a BT Broadband subscription (notably more expensive than broadband from some UK competitors). It does not perform particularly well, and not only is it locked to BT as your broadband provider, but also some of the functions have been locked off.
Also, the unreliability and vulnerabilities of the Home Hub have been well documented, and my personal experience is that it (Version 1 HH) needs a surprising number of reboots due to dropping the wireless connection. See also www.ciao.co.uk/BT_Home_Hub__Review_5709871  
Overall, I agree, there is a neutral POV problem here, and lots of work to do on this page.

message: I had what is described in BT's delivery confirmation email (dated 19 June 2005) as a 'BT Wireless Home Hub 1800', which I understand is a modified 2Wire 1800HG. This seems to pre-date all the models mentioned in the article. Can anyone add a useful description? I think the unit has long gone (the broadband end was blown by a nearby lightning strike), though it may still be in the loft somewhere. Pterre (talk) 17:40, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know definitively what the status of IPv6 support is on these routers? Would highly appreciate if someone knowledgeable on the subject could add a brief mention of it to the article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.145.165.125 (talk) 12:04, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't have an RS for this,  but as far as I know,  BT Homehub does not support IPv6,  nor are there any plans to do so.  For that matter,  BT Internet do not offer IPv6 for retail (i.e. domestic customers),  and have no plans to do so. --31.52.200.89 (talk) 12:24, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  IPv6 Support? 

message: My criticism edits keep being reverted, what is it going to take to convince you there is a backdoor, known as btagent, present on this device, I have cited many times, many websites report this and the respective technical details and I know myself that this backdoor exists. 86.151.35.233 (talk) 07:49, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Unfortunately citing technical details that, in your opinion, demonstrates there is a backdoor is original research.  Wikipedia cannot contain original research.     You need a reliable source to do this first.  Discussions by various anonymous people on forums are not reliable sources.  You need a reliable source that has stated that the backdoor exists and criticises the Hub because of it.  Citing that there is something called "btagent" doesn't demonstrate it is a backdoor and doesn't necessarily make it criticism. --Escape Orbit (Talk) 20:21, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
