Find out which BT Business Hub you've got.

Since we use the 10.x.x.x range for BT Wi-fi you'll need to disable BT Wi-fi first if you want to use this range. To modify the internal IP range of the BT Business Hub follow the correct steps for your hub below.

Known Issue With 10.x.x.x Range

Sometimes even if BT Wi-Fi has been disabled the address range doesn't become available. If this happens follow these steps:

1. Unplug the DSL cable.
2. Factory reset the hub.
3. Re-configure the LAN settings to use subnet 10.x.x.x IP range.
4. Plug in the DSL cable.
5.  

If you perform a factory reset of the hub but your previous static IP port forwarding or firewall settings were different from the defaults, you need to reconfigure your hub after resetting it.
