BT HomeHub 3.0 Type A

The BT Home Hub 3A is supported since Chaos Calmer stable release (V15.5), and in trunk. But installation is tricky (see Installation). Although sharing identical cases, the HomeHub 3.0a has totally different hardware to the BT HomeHub 3.0b and the BT Business Hub 3.0.

For identification purposes, the white boilerplate on the base of the device distinguishes the model number. The HH3.0a and the BT Business 3.0a, and the HH3.0b also have DC input sockets with a different diameter.

Installation is tricky as the 'Firmware OpenWrt Install' image does not install on factory devices. For the moment, until this wiki page is updated fully, further information and installation instructions may be found here:
