How do I backup the settings of our Business Smart Hub 3

Darron — Mon, 01 Sep 2025 15:30:15 GMT

Hi all,

I am trying to locate the correct method for backing up the settings of our BT Business Smart Hub 3, as sure we have done this in the past with previous models, however the current Hub 3 appears to have no settings to allow the current configuration to be saved.

Surly a business orientated router should have some method of backing up and restoring its current settings ?

Hoping someone out there can point me in the right direction.

You're right, the BT Business Smart Hub 3 does not have a feature to back up or restore its settings to a file. This is a common limitation of many routers provided by internet service providers. The most reliable way to create a backup is to manually take screenshots of every configuration page—including your Wi-Fi settings, port forwarding rules, and custom DNS—so you can re-enter them if the router ever needs a factory reset or is replaced.

Hi Darron

No, you can't back up the settings in either the Smart Hub 2 or 3.
