What wireless adapters are supported by the BT Business Hub?

Find out which BT Business Hub you've got.

 

The short answer is almost all of them! Any wireless adapter currently on sale (including those at BT Business Direct) should work with any of our BT Business Hubs. The same goes for any adapter you might have lying around gathering dust.

 

That said the speed and strength of your wireless connection will depend on which adapter you get. We've copied below the main flavours wireless strength comes in and which hub you'll need to take advantage of them.

  • 802.11ac (1.3 Gbps) - None yet.
  • 801.11n (450Mbps) - BT Business Hub 3.
  • 802.11g (54Mbps) - BT Business Hub 2.

 

If you've got a faster adapter than your hub can support such as a 8022.11ac adapter for a Business Hub 3, it'll still work but you'll only get 802.11n not 802.11ac.

Hello,

The BT Business Hub supports a wide range of wireless adapters. In general, any wireless adapter currently on sale should work with the BT Business Hub. This includes adapters available at BT Business Direct or any adapter you may already have.

The specific compatibility and performance will depend on the speed and strength of the wireless adapter you choose. Here are the main types of wireless adapters and the corresponding BT Business Hub versions:

802.11ac (1.3 Gbps): Currently, there is no BT Business Hub that supports this speed. If you have an 802.11ac adapter, it will still work with the BT Business Hub, but you will only achieve speeds up to 802.11n (450Mbps).

802.11n (450Mbps): The BT Business Hub 3 supports this speed. If you have an 802.11n adapter, it will work optimally with the BT Business Hub 3.

802.11g (54Mbps): The BT Business Hub 2 supports this speed. If you have an 802.11g adapter, it will work well with the BT Business Hub 2.

In summary, the BT Business Hub is compatible with most wireless adapters available on the market. However, the maximum speed and performance you can achieve will depend on the capabilities of your specific hub model and the wireless adapter you are using. 

I hope this helps you.   myACPNY
