Use HomeHub2 as a Slave For Upcoming Digital Voice Switchover

[lippo]

 I have replaced the HH2 with a set of Asus ZenWifi AX routers, one of which is plugged into the ONT. I've been told my switchover date for DV is 7th June. I have looked and now found out that I can only plug the phone into the HH2, not the Asus routers.

 My question is, can I attached the HH2 to one of the ASUS routers using an ethernet cable, then plug the DV phone into the HH2 to allow calls? Thanks for your help.

No that will not work, the SH2 has to be directly connected to your physical Internet connection.

If you want to use your third party router and digital voice you will need to have the BT Smart Hub 2 connected first then connect your third party router from the LAN of the Smart Hub 2 to the WAN of the third party router.

ONT --> BT Smart Hub 2 --> Third party router

Thanks, looks like I have some reconfiguring to do. It's going to be a pain.
