I am getting one next week too and will take some pics with them removed   

Excellent UZ i'll be zoomed in, have looked at all the pics but cannot identify the manufacturer of this Smart Hub

[burakkucat]

. . . cannot identify the manufacturer of this Smart Hub

Quite often, inputting the device's MAC at this site will disclose the manufacturer.

For example if I enter C4:E9:84, the first six hexadecimal digits of the MAC of a device that is in the same room as myself, I see the following output returned --

Prefix: C4E984
Vendor: TP-LINK TECHNOLOGIES CO.,LTD.

Hmm, TP-LINK, not too scared now...

[NEXUS2345]

Would somebody with a Smart Hub be willing to post the first six digits of their hub's MAC address so we can see the manufacturer?

@William Grimsley, the address digits burakkucat used were not from a Smart Hub, so don't get your hopes up yet.

[burakkucat]

Hmm, TP-LINK, not too scared now...

I have to state that I do not have any BT HH6 or "Smart Hub" in my possession . . . I just used the MAC of the first convenient device (to paw) as an example.

We really need to know what GofB or uz will see when they enter the MAC from a "Smart Hub".

I put mine in and it said

"Something went wrong!
Did not find any vendor for that MAC-address"

[Geekofbroadband]

I used;

http://www.macvendors.com/

https://www.wireshark.org/tools/oui-lookup.html

they all say "Sagemcom Broadband SAS"

[burakkucat]

Thank you. I was expecting to see either Huawei or Sagemcom.

Oh, sorry. I thought you were referencing the "Smart Hub".

Was just thinking, if this "Smart Hub" is not made by Huawei, overall would it work more efficiently on lines connected via both ECI and Huaewi cabinets?

That is a good question but one that is fundamentally difficult to answer . . . Direct experimentation and the analysis of the results so obtained would be the most obvious way.

The only time I have used a Sagem modem was a when it was connected to the USB think it was called the Speedtouch 330 now the memory's start flooding back the frog as we called it 

opps the 330 was made by Thomson

[BritBrat]

Oh the memories, the frog used to lockup due to not enough power on the USB port, took ages to find out why.  Those were the days. :-)

[William Grimsley]

That is a good question

Crikey! Thanks!

As is always the case, we need to see what the results are on this. Does anyone know if the "Smart Hub" has an unclocked telnet UI?

All I remember from the dial up days was the noise, I still love it to this day.

I don't know, TP-LInk do some good kit but there wireless region settings are quiet poor and they have rarely enabled DFS which limits the amount of 5Ghz channels... I've only come across one device using DFS and that was the VR900, but I had to send that back due to DHCP faults and when I was moaning at TP-Link about the C9's inability to use DFS they said that none of their kit including the VR900 should have the ability either.

[licquorice]

The latest revelation is that there are 2 versions of the hub, one with 3 LAN ports and a WAN port for FTTP customers and one with 4 LAN ports, non of which can be configured as a WAN port.
