Well, of course, I joined PlusNet before they were bought by BT...
Actually, no noticeable difference, apart from I could buy BT Sport for half price if I wished to.
Question.
When I use the WiFi Analyser app on my tablet, I can see I am surrounded by BT networks, including BT FON which, as we now know, uses 10.x.x.x.
Can this impact on my home WiFi network, which uses 10.0.0.x?
I am not talking about WiFi speeds, or WiFi channels, but about the IP...
I am currently on the standard PlusNet Unlimited Broadband.
I have been paying £7 per month for the past two years.
Before that, I was paying £6 per month.
Like you, I take advantage of the Line Rental Saver.
I own a domain name in the format of surname.tld which is hosted on PlusNet's...
Thank you, BH.
That is a clear explanation which I pretty much understand.
Yes, I am guessing I have been lucky, meddling with things I barely understand.
You are, of course correct: my Humax has a submask of "255.255.255.0", as do all the devices where I have managed to find the submask...
Is this information relevent to your question?
In my router:-
TCP/IP Configuration
Auto-IP Enabled: Enabled
Use DHCP Server: Enabled
IP Addresses
IP Address/Mask Type
10.0.0.1/24 Static
10.0.0.138/24 Static
169.254.90.28/16 Auto
DHCP Pools
DHCP Pool Name...
1. I have been using the 10.0.0.x for 18 years so muscle memory is strong.
2. It's 3 characters shorter than the 192.168. 1.1 one.
3. The "1", "0" and "." keys are next to each other on my keyboard's numeric keypad.
4. It's shorter (and the characters are grouped together), so on 'awkward' GUIs...
18 years.
As previously stated, I wish to continue to use the 10.0.0.x IP address range for my network.
Apparently, BT uses this range for FON.
So a BT Home Hub is not suitable for me...
Mine has the following under
Home Network > Devices > Raspberry-Pi
Physical Address: x8:27:xx:x7:50:71
IP Address Assignment: Static
IP Address: 10.0.0.17
There is no button to change these settings, so I assume it gets the data from the device.
