As with all things BT, this is someone else's hard/software. BT package it, sell it and forget it. Typically with BT you get no updates and 'support' will be in a far off land, with an imprecise grasp of the english language who will, and I would lay money on this, only be able to tell you to a) switch it off/on; or b) it's your fault and an engineer visit at well north of £100 is all that can be done.
Buy proper kit. TP-Link. Linksys. Cisco. There's loads of it out there and it will have useful support. And cost far less than BT's rip off offerings

Buy proper kit, absolutely, but don't call TP-Link or Linksys "proper" kit.

Good price so voted hot, but I actually sent mine back as they were a little temperamental with the BT smart hub I ran them through - software was also very underdeveloped, but has the potential for greatness once BT get their act together and add some decent features. If you have Sonos speakers, they will not work them those either.

Go look at the pricing for the competition and you will see they are £150+ more and you don't even get 3 points.
They seem to have good enough reviews.
What do you mean they aren't truly mesh? Afaik these units will automatically connect you to the node with the best connection, and they are each talking to each other wirelessly. So what's missing for the casual/home user?

If it's anything like the home hub, I'd avoid.
My version 5 was forever slowing down on wifi and required a restart.
I've attached a Netgear R7800 now and it runs like a dream.

What did you buy, there's a lot on Amazon to choose from

I bought these in the 20% off Amazon Prime Warehouse deals this week. It's boxed up ready to be sent back, as they're no better than my existing router for internet distance and some discs were dropping connection. The app that you set them up with is very temperamental as well.
