Not possible, you need to setup DMZ or do a PPPoE bypass
As far as I know all the modem router combo from ISP sux...lack of features compare to Asus router with full features esp you are using Merlin
only 50Mbps..LOL...
If you had the HH4000, you would know the SFP module is integrated. The fibre cable connects directly to the modem.
I didn't know the sfp module was built in. I have the hh3000. Couldn't the op buy a module to use with the fibre cable?Dhanushan wrote: ↑ If you had the HH4000, you would know the SFP module is integrated. The fibre cable connects directly to the modem.

No, don't disable DHCP just in case you need it later. The idea is not to use the HH4k as a router and disable wifi, so nobody gets access to it. The rest doesn't really matter. And don't enable DMZ for security reasons.

This allows you to bypass the Bell modem/router assuming you have FTTH.

Got it
The module would have to be reprogrammed with the serial number assigned by Bell
Wow, thanks for the link. I guess I am fortunate to have received a replacement hh3000 when my original hh3000 died a few months ago.Dhanushan wrote: ↑ The module would have to be reprogrammed with the serial number assigned by Bell

Everyone says that, but no one has every specified a feature that they need that is missing in the ISP router
Where do I start? I use pfSense, maybe not a typical router. But I use fail-over, fail-back to another line/cell, traffic shaper to eliminate bufferbloat, schedules and rules to block Roblox and YouTube for kids at certain times, redirect any DNS queries to SmartDNS servers for geolocation in certain apps, builtin Dynamic DNS, static DHCP, NTP, static routes for easy access to modems in bridge mode. There is a builtin unbound but I use it on my pi-holes. I used to use builtin OpenVPN selectively for certain hosts but stopped using it as I don't need it anymore. There is a Wireguard package. I find the traffic shaper and automatic failover most useful. I use only a fraction of what's possible. I want to try Suricata or Snort when I find time to play with them. And I use a separate Ubiquiti AP for WiFi.Gee wrote: ↑ Everyone says that, but no one has every specified a feature that they need that is missing in the ISP router
I don’t use the Home Hub 4000, but I have the Home Hub 3000 and yes it is not perfect, in fact I find the interface clunky. But it has enough features that I don’t require an alternate router
I want to do more but I dont have time yet..like to look into it...right now I am just doing some simply port forwarding..etcGee wrote: ↑ @alpovs
You’re preaching to the choir. I also use pfSense
I will throw this back at you. How many people you think will do what you’re doing?
My argument is that people that want to trade an ISP router for a consumer router is wasting their time. There are no significant features that a consumer router will offer that is missing from an ISP router.
Granted @kiasu is using third party firmware (Merlin) and it will offer more features, I asked what specifically is missing from the Home Hub 4000 that he can find in Merlin. I doubt he is using anything specific to Merlin
The second problem as you and I both know is that these cheap consumer routers are way under powered to properly support third party firmware feature sets. These consumer routers are probably less powerful than your cell phone.
I use pfSense to manage my VLANs, and a whole host of other things. I have 4 WAN ports setup. You have very specific use too. That is fine. But 99% of the population thinks that the ISP router is inadequate for their needs and they don’t know why other than someone told them that it sucks
