BT Smart Hub as Hub Extended

Hi

I have a BT Smart Hub 2 and FTTP.

I have managed to set up my hybrid Ubiquiti/BT network so that the USG is the degault gateway connected over PPOE, however i wish to continue using the Smart Hub 2 as a standard hub so the BT Discs around the property continue to work (dedicated AP's for the BT wifi) alongside the Ubquiti AP's.  The USG is connected to a switch 8

 

Is it just a simple case of connecting the Switch 8 to Smart Hub Lan ports because last time i tried anything that was connected to the Smart Hub/Discs lost their internet connection but the Ubiquiti hardware worked fine?

Do i need to turn off the FTTP setting on the Smart Hub 2  for the above to work ?

 

TIA

You say connect hub LAN ports (plural) to the switch. You can only connect 1 LAN port to the switch.

The FTTP mode changes port 4 from LAN to WAN so either change mode or use a different port.

Hi

Thanks for the quick reply

So the layout would be:

www -> USG -> Switch 8  -> Smart Hub2 -> BT Wifi Discs AP

                                                   -> Ubquiti PtP -> Ubiquiti AP

Only one cable would be going from the Switch 8 to Smart Hib 2
