BT Smart Hub 2

I have just received a new BT Smart Hub 2 in the post in preperation for a move to fibre on the 17th.

I am trying to find some technical info about this hub but it is sadly lacking.

I haven't used a BT hub for ever. My current Asus DSL AC68U hub supports Guest wifi accounts and up to 32 Port Forwarding addresses.

Can I expect this new BT hub to at least match that or should I send it back? No point in me keeping it.

Anyone know?

Thanks all.

there is no guest network stick with what you have and are used to

Keep the hub as a spare.

Thanks for the insight. I figured as much.

Got it. Thanks for the suggestion. I can't see me ever using it though.

Its always handy if you have a fault and customer services insist you connect a BT hub.

Sure. Bu it's back in the packaging and under the stairs now.
