This is a little unfortunate for those needing more advanced services such as QoS, VPN etc. I also would prefer not to have double NAT due to gamers in the house!</P><P>So my thoughts are can I continue to use my own router and modem, and perhaps wire either the Smart Hub wan or lan port into my current router and disable the Smart Hubs Wi-fi. Will this allow any phones connected to the hub (Dect) still to work or will there be issues with port forwarding etc? Has anyone tried this?</P><P>Just wondering on the best option to keep my current kit whilst taking advantage of my unlimited landline calls that you get with unlimited data on BT mobile package.&nbsp;</P> Sun, 10 Jan 2021 11:36:58 GMT oakserver 2021-01-10T11:36:58Z https://community.bt.com/t5/Archive-Staging/Digital-Voice-with-Smart-Hub-2-and-own-router/m-p/2129432#M1248559 <P>Hi<BR />Just thinking ahead to when we may have the opportunity of switching to digitss as l voice and how this might work.</P><P>&nbsp;I’ve read that the phone service can only be used with the BT Smart Hub 2.
