RT-AX88U with BT Fiber

[Col8eral]

I'm in the UK. I have an RT-AX88U.

BT have just run fiber down our street. I was thinking about getting it. Am I able to use my router with this service. I believe BT provide a smarthub2.

How would I setup my router so I can use the BT Fiber service.

You will need to provide abit more info here. What is the BT smarthub2? What ports does it have? is the device going to allow you to use a PPPOE pass through or DHCP?

Does it have a bridge mode?

There is not enough info here to even get started.

What equipment will I get with Fibre to the Home or Fibre Home Phone? | BT Help

You would connect to the modem and not use the router.

Have a look on the BT community forum, I’m pretty sure some people have it working. I used to have a Smart Hub 2 and now have an AX88U (not with fibre though). The SH2 is an absolute stinking turd compared to it, you really don’t want to give up your Asus for it. I’m 90% sure the BT modem/routers dont have a bridge mode, they are super locked down, but you will probably still be able to use it as a modem and the Asus for everything else if you can’t just use the Asus. BT kits is super locked down.

Surely if its proper fibre you can just connect from the ONT to the router then provide default credentials? You'll probably lose Voip as you need the default router for this. Anyone, if I'm wrong please correct me.
