BTWifi signals being broadcast by new Smart Hub even though opted-out

[Steve_C]

I have been opted-out of BT wifi for a long time. However, since getting BT Infinity and my new BT Smarthub - Type A just over a week ago, it is giving out BTWifi-with-Fon and BTWifi-X signals. I'd like these switched off.

I tried a live chat session with India but all I ended up with was a link to the BT website page which, after entering my details, just confirmed I am opted-out. Can one of the moderators get the BT wifi signals turned off please?

The process is automatic, and the configuration will be updated next time the servers contact the home hub.

Hi Keith,

Thanks for a speedy reply. Can you give me some idea of how often the BT servers contact our hubs and update the BT wifi settings?

I am not sure, it could take a few weeks.

Look for ppp1:TR69 ConnectionRequest: processing request from ACS

in the system log on this link.

Set log filter to select TR69 category events only, otherwise you will never find them

Thanks Keith for all your advice. Steve

I'm in the same boat. Absolutely ridiculous. I can't see my WiFi status because the fin log in says my password is invalid. On myBT the WiFi is disabled but still showing as one of the features... And my home hub is still broadcasting!!! Getting annoying as I opted out two days ago and nothing has happened. I'm in a public house and don't want people getting onto WiFi all the time because dispite what BT say it has had an effect on my Broadband speed. !!!
