Just been sent a free home hub from BT.I already have a Netgear wireless set up which works fine for computers and Xbox 360.Is it worth changing to this Home Hub or shall I stick it on Ebay.I aint gonna be using the internet phone,just internet and online gaming.Do these home hubs work well and will its coverage be better then what I have already got

I've only heard bad experiences about the Home Hub.

I kept the Netgear router and put the home hub on the shelf in the garage. Good point about Ebay but I thought the home hub is BT's property and you may be asked to return if if you change ISP? Or maybe I'm mistaken. Anyone got definitive info on this?

Stick with the Netgear. I tried the Home Hub for about a week after they sent me one but it couldn't seem to stay up for more than 5 minutes without restarting. They may have improved but, being kind, mine does not seem to be the best piece of kit.......
