Yesterday I was delighted to get on BT Infinity 1 and as with my old Home Hub 4, turned the 2.4 GHz off to avoid it interfering with my old analogue 2.4 GHz video sender (this lets me play with Sky from bedroom).
Although my own access to the Smart Hub stops on 2.4 GHz, a casual check with my smart phone showed that unlike the Hub4, deactivating the Smart Hub's 2.4 GHz WiFi does NOT stop it being available for BT FON. I don't wish to opt out of FON but I am irked that I am not able to control the new hub as well as the old Hub4. I am quite happy to allow access on 5GHz as it is only the video sender interference that I wish to avoid.
I guess the answer will be a 3rd party VDSL router. Is there a training period with VDSL?
If your concern is only that of the AV sender 2.4GHz frequency, then you could consider using a 5.8GHz sender.
These usually have a choice of 3 channels, so you should be able to separate them, for AV sender and Hub, remembering that 5GHz channels are widely separated.
However, the physical location of the transmitter unit is critical, and to a lesser extent the receiver. You have to align the dishes exactly.
Transmission range may be the main problem, and the reception is sometimes affected not only by physical objects but also reflections from objects:- open doors, poeple moving around, etc. This is usually do to poor alignment
Expensive it it doesn't work! So third party router may be your solution.
