The other thing to bear in mind is that it�s a USB port and not USB2, so it�s only 12Mbits/s.īT should sell these unknown features, they would certainly appeal to a lot of people, I�m almost tempted to pop the BT Home Hub open and see if there�s room for a 2.5″ disk inside. I�m going to try a USB portable disk later, I�m not sure if it will be able to power it or not. I just popped a Bytestor 512Mb USB pendrive in USB port A and restarted the BT Home Hub, and named the unknown device Bytestor.Īfter restarting the BT Home Hub, I now have a nice little NAS solution by browsing to \\\bt_7g, nice one BT! Curious! The latest firmware, it would seem, runs a file/print server on 192.168.1.253. For instance I can see my iPad is named but several are not named.
A port scan revealed a Samba server running. When looking at the device list there are a number of devices connected that are not known. This post originally was going to be another moan, since the latest firmware update, I seemed to get a third ethernet port appear (ethport3) that had an unknown device attached to it. I get 8192 / 448 and the router and VoIP work flawlessly. Well, I completely take it all back, I�ve never been so impressed with my Internet connection.
