I think your hub, no matter how you go, has to be approved by BT.
Also, the home hub wireless router  comes with the BT hub phone on which you
can make cheap internet calls.

Hi Husna,
The BT  hub will support both wired and wireless connection to the net. I'm
totally blind and managed to set it up on my own recently but it isn't that
easy to identify some of the buttons on the BT set up cd, luckily I had a
demo of window eyes which helped in that respect but jaws did read the rest
so got there in the end.
1.  With the home hub you will recieve a filter which simply plugs into the
phone socket you wish to use,  then using the cable provided connect the hub
to the filter .
2.   then connect your phone to the filter,    then connect  the  pc 
ethernet cable to both pc and the hub  ( if you wish a wired connection) and
follow the prompts on the set up cd, I'm assuming BT have switched on the
broad band on your line?
You will need to know such info as your password, e mail address etc.

   I know it sounds complicated but it was straightforward enough, however
for peace of mind and easyness and you can afford it then the BT engineer is
not a bad idea.

good luck!

Alistair
