I've read online that PPPoE adds massive overhead, and if your router does not have a hardware offloading option, it shouldn't be used with gigabit speeds. Is there a reason as to why PPPoE is recommended? Is it the only option available because BT wouldn't support any other protocols on aftermarket routers?</P> Mon, 02 Aug 2021 17:36:11 GMT Seh6345 2021-08-02T17:36:11Z https://community.bt.com/t5/Archive-Staging/Using-an-aftermarket-router-on-900-110/m-p/2175448#M1233164 <P>I'm not well versed in networking; do I need to connect my router in PPPoE mode or will DHCP work? I will not be using the Smarthub 2.</P> Mon, 02 Aug 2021 15:40:21 GMT https://community.bt.com/t5/Archive-Staging/Using-an-aftermarket-router-on-900-110/m-p/2175448#M1233164 Seh6345 2021-08-02T15:40:21Z https://community.bt.com/t5/Archive-Staging/Using-an-aftermarket-router-on-900-110/m-p/2175450#M1233165 <P>PPPoE</P> <P>username <A href="mailto:bthomehub@btbroadband.com" target="_blank">bthomehub@btbroadband.com</A></P> <P>password bt</P> Mon, 02 Aug 2021 15:45:17 GMT https://community.bt.com/t5/Archive-Staging/Using-an-aftermarket-router-on-900-110/m-p/2175450#M1233165 licquorice 2021-08-02T15:45:17Z https://community.bt.com/t5/Archive-Staging/Using-an-aftermarket-router-on-900-110/m-p/2175465#M1233166 <P><a href="https://community.bt.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/85653">@licquorice</a>&nbsp;</P><P>A few quick questions, sorry.
