Regularly switching it off and on again can reduce your speeds as the equipment that tries to keep your connection stable thinks there is a problem with stability of the connection and therefore reduces your speed.</P> <P>Also if on Digital Voice your phone service needs the smart hub to be constantly on and connected too</P> Wed, 27 Dec 2023 15:28:46 GMT https://community.bt.com/t5/Home-setup-Wi-Fi-network/Smart-Hub/m-p/2337245#M206867 jac_95 2023-12-27T15:28:46Z
