    What sort if cinnection do you get to the BT Smart hub?

     

    BT Smart Hub 2 | BT Help

     

    If you have an Optical Network Terminator (ONT) you can buy whatever router you like. Pick one that meets your needs and fits your budget.

     

    Try plugging your needs into the filters on the product pages:

     

    Wireless Routers for Home | NETGEAR

     

    and

     

    Orbi: Whole Home WiFi System for Better WiFi Everywhere | NETGEAR

     

    Then check back here for reports on the things you are considering, but remember that people turn up in this community with problems, not compliments. So look at reviews on Amazon, for example.

    I would also contact the ISP to check to see what they support officially on there network and if there are any requirements.

      That's not how BT works. It wouldn't know a router from its elbow.
