Various sources have informed ISPreview.co.uk that broadband ISP BT<\/a> is currently expected, barring any further delays, to launch their new Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) supporting Smart Hub 3 (SH3) router around July 2022. The new kit will also be accompanied by an updated Complete Wi-Fi 2 (CWF2) mesh system.<\/p>\n

We first reported on early details of the SH3 and CWF2 almost a year ago (here<\/a>), but at the time we didn’t know when it would launch and speculated that it might surface later in 2021. A number of issues made it difficult to predict, such as COVID-19 related disruption to the R&D process, the global shortage of semiconductor chips, and we also understand that BT<\/a> has an internal plan to bring firmware development in-house (currently, third-parties do a lot of this work). The lack of any obvious customer trials was another factor.<\/p>\n

However, over the past couple of months we’ve received new information from a number of sources, which point to both the SH3 and CW3 products being nearly ready for launch. So far as we can tell, BT<\/a> initially appeared to be targeting a late Spring 2022 launch, but this appears to have now slipped a bit to July 2022. Obviously, there’s still a long way to go, so the timings may change, but that’s where things stand today (it may be better to just say ‘summer’).<\/p>\n

The information that we’ve seen shows that the final design of both systems will adopt a style that is very similar to that of BT’s latest Hybrid Connect<\/strong> (HALO 3+) device, which works with the SH routers to automatically connect to a mobile broadband (4G<\/a> etc.) network for back-up, if required.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> We’ve done a rough mock-up of the new SH3 will look like using the Hybrid Connect as a template (pictured – top).<\/div>\n

At launch, the SH3 and CWF2 will be offered as standard on BT’s premium broadband tiers (Full Fibre) for new customers and also upgrades (regrades). Both devices will also be compatible with BT’s existing Hybrid Connect product, which isn’t a surprise considering that they all follow the same design language (hopefully this won’t cause too much confusion for consumers).<\/p>\n

The CWF2 system will NOT be compatible with older Smart Hubs and, likewise, the SH3 will not be compatible with the older CWF1 systems. The CWF2 system also looks as if it will support a new “EasyMesh<\/em>” technology, although the exact details of how this differs from the current setup process is unclear. A new App will also be introduced to help manage the system.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, the CWF2 only appears to support up to 500Mbps throughput speeds, which might irritate those on their 900Mbps FTTP<\/a> broadband packages. But then again, Wi-Fi rarely gets that fast in the real-world anyway, unless you’re practically sitting on top of the unit. Even the addition of WiFi<\/a> 6 can’t solve all the inherent problems with WLAN systems.<\/p>\n

By the sounds of it, BT’s new CWF2 system will also come attached to a new Wi-Fi guarantee. At present, the current guarantee on CWF1 promotes the following: “If one Wi-Fi Disc doesn\u2019t give you wi-fi in every corner, we\u2019ll send you up to three discs for free. If that doesn\u2019t do it, you can get \u00a3100 back<\/em>.” But with CWF2 and SH3 being aimed at FTTP<\/a> customers, BT appears to be adding a speed promise too (e.g. 100Mbps). We don’t yet know if this will vary by package, or what other caveats may exist.<\/p>\n

All of this is important because an increasing number of BT’s arch rivals (e.g. Virgin Media<\/a>’s Hub 5, as well as smaller alternative networks) have already started to introduce Wi-Fi 6 compatible routers and mesh systems. We will no doubt learn more as both systems get closer to launch. At present, the details are extremely limited.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 28th June 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some early testing has begun on the final Smart Hub 3, but component constraints are known to be causing issues and delays with actually supplying enough of the devices for consumers. We saw similar problems with BT’s most recent TV box, which also caused significant delays. The current expectation for a launch is now Q1 2023, and it’s too early to bank on that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
