BT broadband provider has reached another milestone by launching the new Home Hub wireless router, which is designed to have the latest features of the next generation wireless ‘N’ technology, according to the report from the ISP. Currently, most wireless networking devices like routers use 802.11g standard which can offer speeds up to 54Mbps. However, the adoption of ‘n’ wireless standard will enable the BT’s wireless Home Hub wireless routers to offer still higher speeds.

Along with super-fast connection speeds, the new wireless router will come with other features like simple installation, advanced security and superior over-all design, according to the report. Priced at £90, the new version of Home Hub wireless router will be free for the customers of BT Total Broadband Option 3, while the other BT customers can buy the new router at half price (£45).

John, MD of BT Retail said:
“The new Hub will give you up to twice the wireless range of our competitors - giving our customers much more coverage in the home, even in those ‘difficult-to-reach’ areas, and more freedom to use their broadband wirelessly from wherever they want – whether in the living room, bedroom or even in a garden.

The ‘N’ standard technology also helps to prevent your wireless connection from annoyingly disappearing by providing a much more efficient wireless signal. Put simply, our new Home Hub reaches the parts other hubs cannot reach.”

As for details, the new Hub wireless router will use the latest WPA security feature to provide better security to the users. The advanced security settings will help the BT customers to protect themselves from hackers and unauthorized access.

Likewise, the new Power Save feature that comes with this router will switch off the wireless internet access while the router is not in use, thus saving more than one-fifths of power consumption.
