Been with TT for a few years, but swtiched to EE today as they offered me a really good deal on BB with my new phone.

Been using the TT supplied router in modem only mode with an Asus RT-N66 doing router/wifi duties and it has worked well. As I understand it you cannot run the the EE hub as a modem only.

Is the supplied hub any good?

Could I simply disable Wi-Fi and DHCP on the EE hub and connect it to a LAN port on the Asus (the TT modem is currently connected to the WAN port of the Asus) and continue that way?

Can I keep the Asus and buy a better modem that will work with EE?

Is buying a better modem/router and not use what EE supply an option, the Asus is a good few years old, but it works

Totally open to suggestions/recommendations

What would you do?

I have a couple of switches (8 port and 16 port) which are almost full, 2 mac's, windows, couple of NAS drives, music server, Smart TV, PS4, Sky Q, couple of phones and iPads, usual stuff really.
 
Good question, maybe they've improved but my experience of ISP supplied kit over the years has been poor, much better Wi-Fi and my Asus has been rock solid, when I used my TT as a modem and router/WiFi it needed rebooting a lot.
 
mines fine it's in front room of the house .. wifi can be had from back of garden .. never drops great speeds :)
