Hello,
I currently have a BT Hub3 and my friend has an old BT Hub4 as he is upgrading which he has offered to give to me.

Can I just plug the new hub in "plug and play" style or do I have to set it up?

Any advice appreciated
 
you may have to set somethings up but it really depends on what you have on your network at the moment.

do you have any devices with static ips?
what network range do you currently use?
what is the default network range of the HH4?
do you know your ADSL login details?

I would reset the new HH4 to default settings then connect to it and compare settings from your current HH3. Once you've changed everything over plug it in and try it. Worse comes to worse you can plug your old router in again and re compare settings if it doesn't work
 
I am a bit of a noob when it comes to this kinda thing but my ip is always the same. The HH3 uses 2.4ghz and the HH4 is 2.4ghz and 5ghz. I will give your suggestion a go.
Thanks for the help
