Ee broadband FTTP using Bt hub 2

[Bluesriff7]

I have got a Bt smart hub 2 and I can’t sign 

into it. Using Mac book keeps saying unsafe

connection, use https which I have tried but

it does not work. Bt instructions how to bypass

the warning. Safari select show details/ select

visit website/,confirm by selecting vist website.

cant find how to do that? And just tried 

my ee app on my iPhone broadband hub

settings that says unable to connect at the 

Moment

You are logging to your BT Smart Hub 2 at http://192.168.1.254 with the admin password on the bottom of the slider label on the back of the router? Using it on EE BB shouldn't make any diff.

@Bluesriff7 Don't use safari as your browser, or bypass the security on it.

Solved: Log on to bt hub - The EE Community

technical department , should get a reply in 3 days

The problem is that HTTPS uses a registered digital certificate to check with an external authority that the site is genuine and then encrypt the connection.

Unfortunately, in this case it uses an internal certificate, (to save money).  This still allows the connection to be encrypted BUT it is not recognised by the external authority and so it can’t check the site is genuine.  This is why it gives you all kinds of warnings about it being a risky connection.

The good news is that you know it is genuine, as it is your own router, so there is no risk in overriding the warning.

Somewhere on that page, in the fine print, it will give you the option to proceed to the site.  (Even if it does warn of all kinds of doom should you do so).  It may call it something like "Advanced settings".  Just click it and proceed to the site.
