BT Hub 2 with TP Link AV1000

[chrisstuart]

Last week I changed from a Hub 1 on normal BB to Full Fiber Essential 150 with of course a BT Hub 2. All connected to all my devices and works well.

In my garden office (ok shed!) I have for the past year or so a TP-Link AV1000 which has worked perfectly on the Hub 1 system. Now on Hub 2 nothing. All the lights are on showing connections plus I'm paired and in the network. I'm using the same sockets which I know works so the wiring is ok, I've also tried multiple combinations of Ethernet port, pairing, resetting all devices and I still get an unstable report with no connection. Its obviously the Hub 2 but what's the problem - help!

Do you have the old hub?

[chrisstuart]

Ok I've done that, I'll have a look whats happening and report back

[chrisstuart]

Alas no they wanted it back, I'd thought of swapping it back as well

You could get a Business Smart Hub 1 on eBay.  Just to see if that makes any difference.

Was looking at a post in a TP-Link forum and I found one from a guy who like me wanted wifi in the garden office & had successfully paired a  AV600 with a BT Hub 2. So today went out and bought one and for what ever reason it works - on a 150 MB system I get 30 to 40 MB down there which is more than enough. Many thanks for your help and patience, much appreciated.

I'm glad you're sorted.  If it were me, I would 'factory reset' the AV1000 to see if it works,

Yeh prior to getting the AV600 I did factory re-sets on everything but nothing worked, they're now in the bin. Once again thanks
