Orbi and BT FTTP
Hi,
I've just installed my new Orbi and Satellite system connecting to my BT Homehub 6 (with a FTTP connection).
My FTTP box on the wall connects to my BT Homehub via ethernet, and I have...
Hi guys,
Connected directly to the FTTP and the orbi is churning away like a champ! All sorted now!
Now the task of changing every single WiFi device to the new network.
Out of curiosity, how secure is the password that comes on the sticker on the box, presumably its just a random password generator that spews these out. I've changed mine, but have often wondered how secure they are?
Ok, that's a pity that both BT use a "non standard" setup, and that Netgear don't support it.
If I were to change to another FTTP provider (Zen for example) would this issue go away? Presumably the BT openreach box I have in the house would still be compatible?

I've seen other posters mentioning using the BT openreach modem. Seems to work for them. Again, I would ask Zen or any ISP on what there requirements are before making a change. Even if you you have to use there modem/router, you can use the modems DMZ for the Orbi router or use the Orbi in AP mode configuration. There is flexibiity.
