The 4G Smart Hub just connects to the mobile network & you're good to go.
Unless you are referring to the Smart Hub for fixed line BB. You've just used "Smart Hub" throughout. Just which device are you talking about? There are many varied such things called that.

- The 4G WiFi router will be battery powered with no Ethernet ports.
- The 4G Smart Hub will be main powered with probably 2 Ethernet ports.

Does the smart hub require a wire into the house for WiFi or is it a case of plug into the wall and your good to go?
