Smart Socket

[camioneur]

I bought this wi-fi smart socket from Amazon Amazon.co.uk User Recommendation Several reviews say it works well but after being unable to connect it to wi-fi after hours of trying I found some comments on net saying it doesn't work with a BT hub. I'm on Plusnet whose Hubs look identical to BT's, does anyone know how to make it connect?

No experience of it but IEEE 802.11 is a standard so I find it difficult to believe a BT modem doesn't work. I think maybe you need a computer savvy friend to take a look for you ? Have a gander at the router control page and see if the router has detected the socket.

Cheers OG but the router not detecting it

Can you try it on a friend's or other family member's router/computer ? Be nice to know if the socket is transmitting its presence and desire to connect. It'd need to know what your network and password is.
