BT Home Hub 2 Router Security “Feature”
I was wondering why my BT Home Hub 2.0 router would keep resetting/rebooting after about 3 minutes of a outbound activity. Benign things like uploading FTP files to my webserver. Infuriating, since my client was waiting for these files and it was looking like I’d have to courier DVDs across the ocean.
This had been happening for months and I started to get suspicious that it might be BT doing something sneaky like sending a reboot command to the router. After all, they update the firmware remotely and silently with out telling you. Who knows what else they can do?
