Modem choice

Robellicose — Sat, 13 Jun 2020 12:02:37 GMT

Hello all,

I've got a BT Home Hub 5 which I want to replace with my mesh networked Netgear Orbis. The orbi is only a router though, and I need a modem that works with my BT DSL connection. The home hub can't act in model only mode, so I need a replacement device. Would the Hg612 3B that's used for fibre modem work? If so, is there an official store? (can only find online via ebay etc)

The HG612 will work with either fibre FTTC (VDSL) broadband or standard copper (ADSL) broadband. There is no 'official' source.
