Getting to know your BeHub
At BeFibre, we pride ourselves in providing the latest fibre broadband technology, and that needs a great router to make the most of it – lets have a deep dive into the new BeHub
The BeHub is a Heights router that supports the latest Wi-Fi® 6 (802.11ax) standard and easy mesh to deliver fantastic wireless speeds (these are dependant on the device being connected, and other factors like distance and how your home is built) and also supports multiple wired connections of up to 2.5Gbps.

Useful information

Firmware and Backup Management: The USB port can also be used for router firmware updates or storing configuration backups.
- Gigabit LAN Ports – Connect ethernet cables to these Gigabit ethernet (3 are 1000Mbps ports and one is 2.5Gbps) and to other wired devices on your network. (If you’re setting up BeBoost mesh routers, use one of these ports to complete the setup)
