Bt homehub 2 Bridge mode

[Internetvic]

By way of an update.... speeds are much faster using SH2 (wifi off) and Asus Mesh in AP mode.

I'm getting 830 down at the SH2 hub consistently. When I connect the Asus Mesh directly to the ONT (dispensing with SH2) I am only getting 500 down.

Don't know why, but no big deal using the SH2 and Asus together.

Thanks for the reply , I ended opting for the draytek 2927 ac which is now linked to my 7 linksys tri-band mesh system. The full fibre is being connected on Thursday. Do you still have it set to pppoe?

I think only the Draytek needs to be set up with pppoe and the mesh can be in access point mode. At least that's how my set up is.
As an experiment I tested a couple of old Zyxel modem routers that I have. The oldest one which I got for a tenner on eBay some years ago, records speeds of just over 900 so I am using that now instead of the SH2 hub 🙂

Yeah well that's how mine is set up with fttc but is it the same with fttp ?

With FTTC you need to provide a copper modem as well as router, with FTTP the ONT is the modem.

All through pppoe?

[licquorice]

Yes
