EE hub as modem ?

[A319]

Hi, I’m looking for information to confirm, lots of conflicting details!!
Can the EE hub be used purely as a modem / bridge mode as wish to use my own ASUS router? Thanks

@A319 it's REALLY easy. in your ASUS router all you have to do is to enter the PPPoe login details in the WAN section and away you go. Literally take you less than 30 seconds. the details are in the page I linked earlier up the thread.

If you get any issues with it, just post them in the forums, happy to help.

Thanks, much appreciated . 
It’s always bit daunting moving away from what you known (been VM years) and trusted. 

can I still expect decent speeds do you know ?

well I'm on the top tier, but You can expect fantastic speeds. The BT engineer will run a test for you, and tell you your expected speed. Although because you've got an ASUS router, you can also run a speed test from that e.g.  (note edited out my SSID oops!)

Unable to see the images you’ve posted unfortunately, just seeing a yellow triangle with black outline!?

Time has come to depart VM as CS getting worse, and a ball ache every time contract approaches end, I’m sure it will be same with EE, but at least I have all equipment in place to chop and change every contract renewal , or at least say it …

VM will have to come up with a super offer for me to stay, that’s for sure… 

I  was originally a sign up with BT but I challenged them on Black Friday deals today, and been changed to EE (I know same Co) with a discount, for full fibre 900, so far, provided I can get ASUS to work with decent ish speed I’ll be happy as larry ! 

based on what I’ve learnt here, I plug the ASUS router directly into the wall connection that BT or EE will install - and I won’t need the EE router. 

appreciate help, I will head back here on install day , 1st December for help. Thanks all.
