Hi all
After some shop maintenance, the broadband page now confirms the Smart Hub Pro is now available!
Included by default with the 1.6gbps tiers and a £10 per month extra for any < 900mbps tiers (which I think is a great price for the spec on paper compared to other third party wifi 7 hardware, definitely adds value to the higher tiers).
It’s available to order now, and I hope that the extra can be added for existing customers, will have to see what CS say in the morning 😀
Slight typo on the images, l as I’m assuming powered by wifi 7 means the hub pro is included rather than the plus.
It looks like the £10 “Smart Hub Pro and Smart WiFi Pro” extra is for both the hub and booster, replacing the existing £7 extra for Smart WiFi Plus (as you cannot add both extras to the same basket). This represents fantastic value if you’re effectively paying £3 to upgrade to WiFi 7 from the existing setup (if you’re already paying £7).
Solved! See the answer below or view the solution in context.

Indeed, same experience I had. They can only perform very basic tests to see if the router has internet connection but for anything else "you are on your own"

Replying to an old comment here but the Pro does now have Dynamic DNS, and port forwarding works fine in my environment (6 rules configured pointing traffic to two devices on my LAN).
