Netgear Nighthawk RAX40 & Bell Fibe
Ok How do I use the RAX40 with Bell Fibe I just have Fibe line with an ONT coming into house not ethernet or cable..
I think with Bell you have to use there modem, I think they call it a "Connection Hub".
It should be included with your service.
Do you have an active service with Bell?
yes and guys are using own routers without the HH3000
I think you would be better off operaitng the HH3000 in bridge mode.
This basically makes it pass the WAN IP directly to your connected router of choice and disables all the routing features on the HH3000.
There is no bridge mode for HH3000 only option is the DMZ option and I would have to turn off HH wifi for sure but not sure if I can turn off DHCP?
I think you could enable DMZ to the IP of your router.
I read that if/ when the DHCP lease is renewed it will lock up and you have to disable and re-enable the DMZ.
I believe I have experienced that exact issue at work, where we DMZ to a device and it would work for awhile and out of no where go offline. Then disbaling and re-enabling DMZ was the only solution. Now I understand why this was happening. This was using a Bell modem/router as well.
