BT has announced its Home Hub 3 wireless router, which it says will banish wireless woes from people's homes thanks to its Smart Wireless technology.
With this feature the Home Hub can detect interference from other devices and change the wireless channel of the router on the fly to compensate. It's different from the Auto Channel modes on most routers, as these simply look for other wireless networks; the Home Hub can also detect other sources of interference, such as baby monitors and wireless video senders.
High-end consumer routers have long been very similar to luxury cars: while the core technology is a step above lower end models, manufacturers also try to see many more features they can fit into one product. Luxury cars get cooled beverage compartments, while routers get web apps, USB ports, and media servers.
