Advantages: Easy to install, good features

Disadvantages: Not always reliable

When moving to BT, they threw in a "FREE" Home Hub 2.0 and initially I stuck with the router I already had. However this eventually packed in.

I found installing the Home Hub 2.0 was very easy and before long I was connected to the internet with very little stress. It even has an option to shutdown at night to save on power!

Everything worked perfect for a month or 2 and then all of a sudden it kept randomly disconnecting my XBOX and laptop, so I am not sure how reliable the device is anymore.

Also, be aware, although I must have clicked a button somewhere, I hadn't realised that I had enabled the BT_FON network. This enables other BT customers to use your wireless internet when in range of your Hub and in return you can use other peoples when you are out an about. Personally I think this is a great function, but I'm sure there will be people out there who are not so keen and it wasn't very clear that I had agreed for my internet to be shared.

Other than the fact that I keep getting disconnected every now and again and have to keep resetting it, its not a bad piece of kit.

Summary: Not the best, not the worst.
