What would my optimal setup be?

[BradGouldY]

Hi, not sure if im posting this in the right place so please excuse me.

 

Im currently with BT on a 38/9Mbs package, I have 3 options as to how configure my netduma & was wondering if there is a preferred way.

 

1) The first way is to have the HomeHub5 which doubles up as a modem & router, which then goes to the Netduma via powerline adapter.

2) Second way is I have a Openreach modem which I can unlock & configure which then goes to the Homehub5 then to the netduma via powerline.

3) Have the openreach modem go straight to the netduma & have the netduma used as the main router.

 

Hope someone can give me some advice.

Hey, welcome to the forum

 

Can you do Homehub 5 straight to the router? If you can, then that would be the best configuration.

So have the HomeHub5 used as the router which then goes to the netduma?

Yeah. Because I think if you use the Openreach modem you'll need to use PPoE with the Netduma which doesn't work well.

I use the open reach modem direct into the R1 using PP0E and it works great I posted my settings here if they are of any help http://bagsta69.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/netduma-r1-settings-and-happy-new-year.html

So is there any kind of setup guide or any tips on this setup i could look at?
