Why is there a USB port on the back of my BT Home Hub 2.0, Hub 3 or Hub 4?

The USB port is there for the products and services we might release in the future.

You may not use this port to connect to the Internet. Both the BT Home Hub 2.0 Hub Hub 3 and 4 only offer Internet access via cable or wireless Ethernet.

However, the Axis 3 and Axis 4 support the use of USB connection for connecting USB storage devices. (The Hub 2.0 provides limited support for this as well.) Posted by: Logo Design Compainy
