I'm currently using a BT Smart Hub 2 but it doesn't have modem mode. So I've purchased an openreach modem model ( B-Focus V-2fub/r Rev.B).
I've connected it to DSL , which it recognised and thought it would be a straight forward plug and play to the Orbi Internet / WAN port.
However the orbi is flashing purple and although showing as a network, is showing no IP address.
Could you clarify that the goal is to replace the BT Smart Hub2 with the Openreach modem (B-Focus V-2fub/r)?
I am not having a lot of luck find a user manual for that modem.
