Just got this firmware update yesterday, out of the blue...?

I'm on fttc., and on a waiting list for fttp. Existing hub has a digital voice port which is taped off.

The biggest visible change on the HomeHub pc dashboard is an option for future use with fttp.

Then presumably you are already on fttp?

Have not noticed the fttp option before....In fact have been told that a new Smart Hub 2 will be required for fttp". (Seems that there are 2 Smart Hub 2 versions in use). If so, why does the fttp option show? Or have I been misinformed?

Will check again with BT.

There are definitely 2 versions of SH2. FTTC version with 4 LAN ports and FTTP version with 3 LAN ports and 1 WAN port. My firmware hasn't updated yet, still on v0.24.04.11017

@licquorice ,

This needs looking in to. It’s still not clear re: what the new firmware does.

My Hub has 4 LAN ports. So why is the fttp status now shown in the information display? ....as pointed out by self and @imjolly

It was not there on the previous issue.

Are the Smart Hubs 2 type A and B, being upgraded? Seems pointless issuing new firmware for type A and B, if only one version is fttp compatible.

I’m confused, there must be 2 SH2’s. Someone reported v0.26.03.01286-BT firmware the other day.

My SH2 has Red Wan port and I have FTTP and the firmware is at v0.24 ....

There are 2 versions of SH2, one for FTTP, one for FTTC.

The why does the Smarthub type 2A update imply that there is an option for fttp in the display?

It’s all muddle at the moment, with various Openreach vans busy in the streets with logos “light source”. A marketing “pun”, perhaps. Don’t mind receiving a Smarthub type B, if and when fttp comes. Hope they send me someone to collect the old Hub, though.

Perhaps they have decided that 2 versions aren't a good idea and that the FTTC version can be configured to use one of the LAN ports as a WAN port. It would be nice if they published release notes for firmware but that's not going to happen!

Yep, that seems to be exactly what they've done. If you click the help icon next to that setting it says as much.

Does anybody know if BT has managed to fix the firmware glitch in the SH2 that has been there since it's launch. Reading various past posts people do get confused whether their SH2 is Opted in or Opted out of BT WiFi. See below the glitch. The main Homepage shows "Not active", but Technical Log shows "Activated".

I'm on the newest update and mine says 'Not active' in Status but 'Activated' in the Technical log, same as above. It definitely isn't actually active for me though.

@chrisdw Yes my SH2 is Not Active either. Seems that BT has not addressed this simple glitch that could help people understand the status of their SH2. Shame.
