BTB Smart Hub 3 with extender, buggy hub ?

Lanz-uk — Wed, 04 Dec 2024 21:32:00 GMT

So I had an old smart hub 1 FTTC setup, I bought a smart hub 3 + extender from eBay.

Everything seems to work fine, my WiFi is better than before , the extender seems to work ok but it’s not showing up on the hub manager, no devices are under it.

Pretty sure it’s working as I was next to it , pinging the gateway, then I powered it off and I lost a few pings before the laptop picked up the routers ssid.

Is this just a software/firmware hub GUI issue? As I read on the EE forums people having similar issues on those rebadged EE super hubs and extenders.

whats the latest fw on the sm3?

Yes I am, but I rang them equiring about a new hub and they said I’d need to go on a different contract.
