Re: BT Smart Hub2 WiFi broadcasting without an SSID despite being turned off

Go to solution

Hi, just quick update,...as now working. AP router reboots per major change, so took a little while. Anyway AP hooked into WAN port & all good. Now I've just to set AP with our SSID & drop SH2 WiFi.  Thanks for the guidance.

BTW I've submitted feedback asking for BT community forum be replicated across EE forum. A common repository would be beneficial.

Just out of interest, is that the WAN port on the SH2?  If it is, is it set as a WAN port on the SH2 or is set with FTTP mode turned off, (in which case it behaves as LAN port 4)?  I only ask because I am surprised that works.

I'd imagine must be set as a LAN port, I seem to recall you were expected (or rather the installation person was) to switch it from the defaut LAN setting if moving to FTTP. Certainly that was the case when I moved to FTTP.

Sorry, should have clarified. It's the WAN port on Netgear. FYI a little more config to do e.g. disable DSL.

Interesting.  I would not expect that to work unless the port is dual purpose.  Thanks for the update.  Something I'll look into when I have time.

@google1901   Ah, it was you talking about using it as an AP that threw me.  I assumed you were just trying to set it up as a wireless access point.

Reading the posts again, you’re actually using the D6400 as the router to a separate network, albeit a wireless network, in which case that configuration should work.

I'm glad you got sorted, but it would have been good to raise this on a seperate thread and keep the original thread clean, as your secondary issue was really was nothing to do with the original topic
