Getting FTTP soon but smart hub 2 not delivered because of postal strikes

[Tab2]

Hi,

Upgrading to FTTP soon but the smart hub hasn't been delivered because of postal strikes. If the new router doesn't arrive can i still use my home hub 6 (smart hub 1) FTTC version (no WAN port) with the new openreach ONT that will be installed ? Even if speeds won't be as fast so long as i have a broadband connection in the interim until i get the new router delivered it will be good enough.

No, you need a router with a WAN port.

You can, however, make a direct PPPoE connection to the ONT from your PC/Laptop to get you connected until the hub arrives.
