I presume its 3 times the price I paid because it has twice as many ports as mine ??

[GigabitEthernet]

8 ethernet ports  - yeah, that's not right.

[kitz]

It cant be right, theres not enough room surely for another 4 ports. The specs are very unclear

- ADSL network interface for BT Broadband x 1
- RJ45 Gigabit WAN interface for BT Infinity x 1
- RJ45 Ethernet LAN ports x 4
- Gigabit Ethernet x 1
- 10/100 Base T Ethernet x 3
- USB 2.0 master socket x1

Theres routers Id much rather have than a crippled 10/100 HH  for £110.

[sheddyian]

Am I right in thinking that on the standard HH4, there are 4 x RJ45, one of which is Gigabit and the other three are 10/100?

If so, that spec is just a bit confused, and should be reading

RJ45 ethernet LAN ports x4
OF WHICH
Gigabit Ethernet x1
10/100 Base T Ethernet x 3

But anyway, yeah.  Why would you buy it from PC World?

I'm off there tomorrow to pay £20 for an IEC power cable

Correct.

And now there's the Home Hub 5 too, which I believe has 4 GigE ports and 802.11ac WiFi.

Got some 5's waiting to be picked up from stores on Monday. Will have a look-see then, but am sure the spec will be all over the tinterweb by now ??

I looked for full technical specs last night for the HomeHub 5 and couldn't find one, love a link if you have one! please

Take some quick photos .

[Black Sheep]

Ah sorry pal ........... that was just me making assumptions about the spec being 'out there' somewhere. I don't have any links I'm afraid, as it's not BTo equipment, as such. Sorry.   

[Black Sheep]

Will do, Alec. 

[GigabitEthernet]

Perhaps, one may 'disappear' and be found shortly later at a certain sheep's home, after it has been connected and tried out .

Just joking

[Black Sheep]

Ha ha, that just may happen.

On a serious note, I don't think the powers-that-be would mind their broadband engineers road-testing the kit, themselves ?? They haven't in the past.

As most readers of this forum will know though, I don't have a cracked modem as it is now, so I don't know what I could bring to the table even by road-testing it myself ?? I fortunately, can monitor the connection via the DLM. It's not as in-depth as BE/Eric/B*Cats scripts, or anywhere near as pretty. But, it paints a picture and it's all good.
