BT Full Fibre 900 + Asus Mesh Home Network

[mpearson1968]

HI,

I am just about to order BT FTTP 900. I have a Asus mesh network at the moment with the main router connecter to a BT Buisness Hub 2 set in bridge mode.

Am I correct that to get the Asus Mesh Network to work with the FTTP 900 all I need to do is connect an ethernet cable from the Lan Port on the ONT to the Wan port on the ASUS router? 

If not what do I need to do?

Many Thanks

yes wan of your ASUS router to ONT lan port then you will set up as POPPE

Thank you. So am I right thinking the ONT acts as the modem then?

Yes

Hi,

With the setup in the origonal post is there a way of getting BT's digital voice phone to work - maybe  incoprating the new smart hub into the network somehow?

you will after but SH2 in to the ONT to get digital voice 

[mpearson1968]

So does the the SH2 have to be the DHCP server?

[licquorice]

No, depends how you configure things. However you configure your network, the SH2 needs to be the first device connected to the ONT for DV to work.

OK Understood. Thanks.

Does that mean the SH2 can be put into Bridge mode like the Business Smart Hub can?

[UkzVortex]

yes but Home SH2 cant go into Bridge mode like the Business Smart Hub can
