Buster Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Hi, Im wondering if i have everything set up AS OPTIMAL as can be, my set up is; BT fibre ONT - smart hub 2 - xr500 The smart hub 2 i have disabled upnp, disabled wifi, I have put the xr500 in its DMZ and disabled the firewall on the SH2. XR500 is in DHCP mode and has everything wired to it. One question i have is about IP addresses, When i set up the xr500 i did a factory reset and it gave the xr500 an address of 10.0.0.1, the SH2 uses 192.168.1.254 as an gateway ip with the dhcp range from 192.168.1.64 - .253. Would it be better if i gave the SH2 a gateway ip of 192.168.1.1 and the xr500 192.168.1.2 or doesnt it matter one bit as long as it is within its DHCP range?

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 10, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 10, 2021 You've set it up very well, I'm unsure if PPPoE is still required for BT or not but it might be possible to connect the XR direct to the ONT. The IP addresses doesn't matter, as long as they're not conflicting then you're good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
