FTTP to Netgear Nighthawk X6 (R8000)

[JetLag]

Yes, all working OK.

Make sure the IP address is set to 192.168.1.1

For some strange reason BT have set their default to 192.168.1.254

@JetLag  What difference does it make what the default IP address of the router is?

@Listo  Make sure IGMP snooping is enabled.

[JetLag]

It doesn't, as long as one is aware that it may be different to the default of many other routers!

[Listo]

my netgear router's IP is 192.168.1.1

Do you meant the BT TV box's IP?  if so, not sure how I can change that

[licquorice]

There is no need to change any IP addresses. Might be worth resetting the BT TV box though to make sure it picks up the changed gateway address.

[Listo]

all working properly now.

Thanks for all the help.

Just a quick note, under your internet settings you have dial on demand and 5 mins. You need to change that to always or else your connection will drop when there’s no activity on the line.

[Listo]

I did wonder about that. Thanks, all done.

Hi there, just curious what fttp speeds you are getting?  Are you on 900 product? Thanks 

[Listo]

No, I'm on Fibre 100. I get around 147mbps. With the SH2, this was considerably less in any room other than where the router was. Now I get a good speed all over the house.
