Bypass BT Home Hub?

GlasgowUK — Sun, 05 Jul 2020 11:22:31 GMT

Hello,

Apologies for, potentially, a really lame (stupid) question;

I am in new build with FTTP my existing wifi isn't cutting it around house so decided to upgrade, I have gone down route of Ubiquiti (UDM-Pro, USW-Pro-24-POE Gen 2, 3 nanoHD AP's).

So, to that end, I have no need to any of features BT hub provides aside from connectivity. Can I just buy old Openreach fibre modem off eBay that cuts all the 'fancy features' out and just acts as VDSL2 modem?

Or for that matter could I buy any VDSL2 Modem? eg. DrayTek Vigor 130

Thank you in advance

-G

if you have FTTP then the ONT already installed is the modem you just need a router with a WAN port

VLAN must be 101.

VLAN should be off with FTTP.

Forget what I said then. Any suggestions, as I am not familiar with FTTP?

DNS settings possibly, may be best to use BT ones to start with.
