Title: BT Business Hub Firmware 6.3
Post by: gouledw on Sep 20, 2011, 16:47:19
Hi Folks,
Just wanted to know, does anyone have any idea of the v6.3 firmware, as I would really like it for its increased wifi power levels for my 18 inch thick walls :L  If anyone has any details or a link to where the firmware can be upgraded please PM or e-mail me. :)

Kind Regards
Edd

Hi Edd and welcome to the forum. :welc: :karma:. One of our 2700 experts will be along shortly, but they're more likely to reply in the thread than by PM. Members can't see your email address, so can't reply that way.

Although you could set your email address to be viewable (not recommended as it could pick up spam).

The 6.3 Firmware is for the 2701 and not the 2700

They may look similar on the outside, but the inside is different and there are no guarantees that the firmware will load or run on the 2700.

Out of curiosity are they hackable to run on non BT retail lines the same as the 2700?  Just curious in case one turns up on eBay.

No idea,   the GUI is almost identical with some minor changes, but that says nothing about the underlying code.    There are a few already on ebay - from the 0.99p ones right up to £39.99

If anyone has a list of the "hidden" 2700 pages,   I can try them on my 2701 to see if they still work.
