I've updated to the latest Firmware recently. Modem is the Huawei 1-port modem. I used the cable that was supplied with the orbi so I assume it is CAT6 or above?
Online from what I can find a lot of people say you must use the BT home hub but I still feel like there has to be some kind of way to get around this. It's just finding how to connect my Orbi and Home hub together or even create a pass through so the home hub can be used to service my Phone and my orbi for internet. I plan to contact BT tomorrow about it, but I have a feeling there going to deflect any help because I'm asking for their help to setup a third-party device which replaces their own. Can't see them being very cooperative but I could be wrong.
