Issues with The BT Smart hub


Recommended Posts

I used to have the follwoing set up

  • Wall > BT Openreach Modem > Netgear D6200 > R1 > All Devices (wired).

 

Now I am aware the BT Openreach Modem has issues and causes lag spikes, so I got the BT Smart Hub so I could then be set up like;

 

  • Wall > BT Smart Hub > R1 > All Devices (wired).

 

LINK TO SMART HUB

 

Now even though the light on the hub is Blue, I can not connected to the web, I can access the R1?! - it kept saying - 'Can not connect to the DNS server'

So I went back to my old setting and it would not work for the life of me, it kept saying 'Can not connect to the DNS server'

 

No I have put the DNS server number in the R1, still no luck, I have imputted the PPOe details as well, no luck.

 

Now once I remove the R1 from the set up, so its;

  • Wall > BT Smart Hub >  All Devices (wired). - It works fine

So it seems the R1 wont let me connect to the internet???

 

Anyone got any advice?

Are you getting a WAN IP in the device manager on the R1? 

 

On your smart hub does it show that it has the R1 connected to it? 

 

Well now I can not even get into the R1. I have to remove it from the set up to even get on the net.

 

When it is connect I get 'The ether adaptor has no IP' or something like that ?

 

This is soo confusing as it was working with my old set up, after you sorted it all out?

Turn off the duma .....

 

Do not use the WAN port on the smarthub use one of the 4 LAN ports to port one of the duma.

 

Turn on the duma.

 

I just figured this out lol

I have the same setup,I just input my duma ip into the dmz on smart hub and I have open nat,remember to apply settings on hub if you take this route and also hard reboot your console

 

I have done this multiple times. Still wont work.

 

OK after 3 hours of doing this, it now works......

Okay so everything is working as expected now?

It is with some tweaking, here and there lol

 

Also do you have icons for Netduma so I can use them when I stream etc...
