Nigel,
It was a while since I set up my BT home hub and cannot remember exactly what I
did. Does anyone know what the original password is? I would assume I had to
change it straight away, but cannot remember.
Thanks
Dave
If you did not secure your hub when you were setting up your connection I would
consider your network to be potentially wide open depending on how good the
default security settings are.
Nigel
Your screwed!

I'm no pro on internet connections so you tell me. There is a BT hub
manager in the programs list but I don't have a password so will have to
contact BT, oh no not an Indian call centre again!
Dave
If someone logs on to your hub, would it not show you in My Network Places?

There should be an interface to your hub that you can log into and once in
there you can display a list of connected users.
Cheers

Hi George,
I am currently paying for option 3 which is supposed to be up to 8
megabites. Is there anyway of telling if someone is tapping into my
connection? Anyone know just how secure the BT home hub is?
Thanks
Dave
Hi Dave,
The only way I know to check out speed issues with any degree of certainty,
is to run some tests at decidedly nasty hours of the day or night, when
there are likely to be fewer users around.
I think some providers are pushing the "contention ratios"
just too far, and what may have been 50 to 1 when you got it installed may
be more like 75 or 100 to 1.
For example, I find that Saturday midnight to Sunday 8am, my download speeds
are close to 2MB, yet by mid-Sunday morning when all the kids get on line,
it's down below 1MB
George.

Hi all,
I have seen some posts concerning wireless protection on wi fi etc I
currently use a BT home hub with my main pc wired to it and my wife uses her
works laptop pc wirelessly. In the last few weeks, the internet download
speed has seriously reduced and I have had concerns about the security of my
system. Could someone be using my connection and causing the slow
connection? My wife had to load a security code onto a memory stick and
transfer it onto her pc in order to connect to the hub. Has anyone else
noticed a general slowing down of broadband connection speeds?
Thanks in advance.
Dave
