It's not insecure. It works by providing a completely separate ring fenced connection for the general public which shows up as its own WiFi router. If someone tries to connect to it then it will only load a BT connection page that allows BT customers to log into their account to use the connection to access the internet, or if you don't have an account purchase access from BT. It also restricts users to utilising a maximum of 512Kb of your bandwidth, so hardly noticeable.

It's still a shared port you have no control over & I don't like that. Especially when BT are stealing my noise margins through lack of Provision on BT Wholesales part. Bloody cheeky tbh.

You can easily switch the whole feature off if you don't want it used via a single toggle in the router's settings, so not all bad... although obviously you also disable your access to the same network when out and about.

I had a quick look on e-bay and see you can bid on unopened BT hub 4 so thought I'd have a bid which I won fairly cheap As the last time I tried to get a free upgrade hub from BT, would only give one out if yours is broken and infinity doesn't seem to be coming here till next March. Hoping to have some improvement as lately there seems to be lots of wifi signals in my area and I see the hub 4 has 5GHz signal.

Our iPad Gen4 is dropping out of service sometimes so I might try & blag a free Hub4 from the tight gits.....

The Hub4 uses switching WiFi frequencies and constantly scans for the best signal, so is probably a good upgrade if you are having wireless issues.

However, it's an Apple device mate! You have to expect these things.

Yeah, but SkyGo never drops out. ....Is probably the App used at the time but f'k em, I'm still going to try & blag one....
