Re: Please confirm my thinking

Hello clever people.

I’ve been reading the forum posts for a while.

I have recently moved in to a new build with BT fibre 900.

it is ok but there are definite drops around the house ( and no signal to speak of in the garden).

I’m hoping that two images have appeared.

one is showing what I think confirms I have FTTP?

The other is the new setup I’ve ordered.

I don’t need digital voice at all.

do I simply unplug the bt hub and replace is with the deco hub? I’m guessing I need to log in with a BT username and password?

then I’m hoping it’s a case of plugging in the others and playing ?

Yes to both questions.

Set the Deco WAN port to PPPoE username homehub@btbroadband.com and password BT

That’s for the quick reply.

I don’t know if what I’ve gone for is overkill, but I’ll let you know how it goes

Well spotted

Unless it's been changed you can use any prefix to @btbroadband.com

licquorice · ‎15-12-2022

Yeah, I think that's still the case

Just a thought:

is it PPPoE ( Ethernet) just from the ONT to the hub?

I don’t want Ethernet cables from hubs to APs and am hoping it’s Wi-Fi to those points

ONT LAN --> main Decco's WAN.

I see you do have a patch panel though. Do you have a ethernet ports in other rooms?

The decco supports a WiFi backhaul between each node but you can also do ethernet backhaul too.

The old saying, if all else fails "check the Instructions".
