Rylo Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 I been thinking about switching to a XR500, and some people said I should replace my bell modem (bell home hub 3000) with the XR500, I was wondering how that would all work?

The XR500 doesn't have any modem functionality so you will still need your modem in the network, you'll just need to either put it in modem/bridge mode or just DMZ the XR500 and disable the modem's Wi-Fi if applicable.

Ahh I see, I have my R2 in the home hubs DMZ so I’ll probably just stick with it until I need a new router
Rylo Posted June 10, 2021 Author Posted June 10, 2021 And I was just wondering what’s pppoe? What’s the benefits of setting that up?
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 10, 2021 Administrators Posted June 10, 2021 You can't use PPPoE if you don't have it, it's basically your network 'logging on' to the internet so doesn't provide any benefits
