<div dir="ltr">Hey guys wondered if you could help me please?<div><br></div><div>Just moved to my new house down here in Yorkshire and my girlfriend has fibre with BT. I dont want to use the Homehub5 as port forwarding is broken.</div>
<div><br></div><div>BT inform me they cant install a traditional fibre, wall mounted openreach modem on the wall as the homehub 5 has it built in.</div><div><br></div><div>I dont want to use the hh5 as I cant open ports so I can access my server from outside. Even though the rules are set in port forwarding, they are still locked/stealth on shields up.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Therefore this weekend, when I was moving furniture I brought my bt openreach modem from Durham down and tried it. I flashed it with the new SP10 modded firmware and I can access the web console on lan2. Its shows its connected but is on completely different ips than what the homhub5 will give and as such I have no internet access.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The modem will show that its connected with sync speeds of 120 down and 40 up, but completely different ip gateway and dns.</div><div><br></div><div>I think this is due to it being previously on Talktalk back in Durham.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Im therefore feeling a bit stuck.</div><div><br></div><div>Does anyone have any ideas about either getting the modem functioning correctly? Or should I try buying one off ebay that has been connected to a bt service rather than talktalk. Or can you recommend a different brand of router that would work for me with the modem built in please? Cost has to be kept as low as possible.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Finally - anyone else ever managed to get the homehub5 to port forward?</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers</div><div><br></div><div>Andy</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>
