Will my Smart Hub be able to connect to my phone line without an Rj45 port

RubberDucky00 · ‎04-05-2024

Moving from sky to bt/EE and getting a smart hub (fibre 67 essentials), I have an open reach phone socket with some sort of port but no rj45 ports to connect.

Will it come in the box with a cable that's compatible or do I need to aquire one myself?

I don't know which model of router I will be getting but I just need to know about the compatibility since I don't have an adsl filter at hand.

That's not a RJ11 port but a standard BT phone socket.

You need a dangly ADSL Filter ,which does have a RJ11 port. 1 should come in the box with the router together with the necessary RJ11 cable.

Ah thanks, they look kinda similar and got worried about compatibility.

Thanks. It should be the same as you had at Sky.
