BT Homehub replacement with moidem mode

[jezscott]

I would be grateful if someone could recommend a replacement for my BT Homehub with modem mode.

I am using BT as my back up line in a dual wan cisco rv042g router.

dynamic dns updates my main virgin media line fine as the VM box is in modem mode, but as the BT Homehub doesn't have a modem mode it just forwards its own subnet to dyn.

I have disabled dynamic dns for the back wan 2 bt line and input the dyndns settings into the bt homehub directly, but this requires I access remotely using a different domain name if the main wan 1 goes down (often).

Thanks

See if you can get your hands on one of the older BT hubs, normally known as the 2-wire router. These can be put into modem only mode and I used it to bridge between BT and a better router (without an ADSL port).

You should be able to pick it up quite cheaply (in fact theres one on the bay for 99p with not long to go).

A Vigor 120 modem is designed for the job.

Thanks TheKnat & bremen1874

I bought the Vigor 120 (£50)

I'll have a play with it when I receive it and report back
