BT Mesh Discs

[teah]

can I buy black mesh discs from BT or only rent them? I cannot see them for outright sale on the BT site.

They are available to purchase at £100 each!

Complete WiFi discs which only mesh with the SmartHub 2 can only be rented. (Edit - just seen post that says you can actually buy them).

Whole Home WiFi discs - which work with any router - are bought outright.

TBH if you have a SmartHub 2 you might want a new EE router before long, in which case you will be glad you rented rather than bought.

Edit: you need to have a disc for longer than 20 months to make it worthwhile buying outright.

any thanks, I looked under BT Broadband accessories but I am taken to an EE page showing Whole Home wifi and a number of other products., Eventually found the Hibs but not how to buy them.   All rather strange but  thanks again.

Thanks. I have done the sums hence buying as not expecting to change the router, or at least if I did I would get a generic one not BT SM 2,,, but why am I likely to want to change a new EE  Router  soon?   I am likely to go for a TP Mesh system anyway but wanted to check the price BT charge for an outright purchase.

Still expensive compared with complete third party mesh systems.

The TP Link Deco range are very good.
