Hi John, Thanks for your advice. The engineer didn't have a clu on manually setting up the BT Home Hub so I had to install all the BT parafinalia. My existing Netgear won't work because its an ADSL modem rather than a cable one. I'm just about to go and take a look at your recommendation as Ican't seem to figure out how to set up port forwarding on this BT thing.

Hello Yusuf,

I do not like the BT hardware they provide; possibly that is an unfair
prejudice, but there you go.
I use a Draytek Vigor 2820, which has both ADSL and Cable connections on it. 
I do not know about the Net gear routers. I got this router once I had
decided to go to BT Infinity. It was all set up and in use before my switch 
over, using my previous ADSL service with BT Total Broadband. I have used
other Vigor routers in the past and so knew that they are accessible and how 
to set it up.

When BT came round to do the install I let him do his checks on the line,
which he did first, and then asked him to connect the Ethernet cable into my 
router rather than theirs. By a bit of research on the internet I had
already set it up for Infinity. The technician also gave me the same
information as I have found out, so I am sure he would tell you the same
things.

The Vigor simply took over on the Infinity service with no issues at all.

It is a superb service from my point of view.

I hope that helps.


Regards, John

Subject: [access-uk] Switching to BT Infinity

Hi, I'm switching to BT Infinity tomorrow and was wondering if I'd be able
to continue using my current Router/ADSL Modem, a Netgear, I can't remember the model and I'm not at home at the moment but its something like a DG850. 

If not could someone recommend a new modem and router with accessible
interface?
Cheers
Yusuf
