Rylo Posted June 10, 2021 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rylo Posted June 10, 2021 Author Share Posted June 10, 2021 And I was just wondering what’s pppoe? What’s the benefits of setting that up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 10, 2021 Administrators Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
