SpykeYs join:2009-01-23	[Internet] Fibe 50/50 + Fibe TV - How to add my own router in th Hey Guys, I'm sure it has been asked many times, i'm sorry if I ask again. I've search the board and haven't found the exact answer i'm looking at. I'm getting Fibe 50/50 + Fibe TV installed this upcoming Saturday. I'm FTTH. They will install a connection hub (sagecom). My goal is to use my own router + a 16 port switch. From my understanding, the Bell Tech will configure the samecom and use port 1-2-3 for the Fibe TV receivers and leave me port 4 to connect to my switch. And from my switch I could connect all my cables.. But like I said, I would like to use my own routers for many different reason. So how can I do this ? Do I simply reset the sagecom and use port 1 to my router and port1 from router to my switch and plug everything on my switch, even the fibe tv ? Any help is greatly appreciated.. Thanks,

Re: [Internet] Fibe 50/50 + Fibe TV - How to add my own router i I'm not sure about using the switch, but I have my own router (Asus RT-N66U) connected to my Sagemcom. If you have FibeTV you CANNOT reset the Sagemcom, it has to do the PPPoE connection itself, as it also has your FibeTV settings in there. You only reset the Sagemcom if you want to bridge it and have the router do the connection. However like I said, you cannot bridge it if you have FibeTV. I have my Asus setup with a Mac reservation on the Sagemcom, and have DMZ enabled on it. Then have my router set to DHCP.

Marshal Premium join:2003-11-01 Montreal	reply to SpykeYs Good day, I have FTTH and had done the same thing as you, with some difference.. I still have the Sagemcom, but for the TV only. There was no pppoe setted in my "connection hub", as I dont mind if my tv doesnt have internet for the applications. My router, a juniper ssg140 was connected into the port 2. From my router, I had setted it to negociate the pppoe. So the Sagemcom bridge it. Then, from my juniper, I had a switch connected to it for my lan. I mention "was", because my setup had changed a little bit recently. But that way, it work.. even since Bell had change their one login only. -- Rogers - iPhone 4s 32gb

SpykeYs join:2009-01-23	reply to coaxguy Coaxguy, So I would need to leave my PPPoE settings on the Sagecom ? Port 1, 2 and 3 would be used for my Fibe TV receivers and I would then use Port 4 and connect it to my Asus RT-N66U ? (We have the same router) What is a Mac reservation ? You basically take the MAC on your Asus router and add it to your sagecom and enable DMZ on it ? Once this is setup, your router will work 100% like it should ? P.S Do you have DD-WRT installed on your asus ? The reason I want to use my own router is to be able to use VPN on my router in order to use NETFlix USA... Thanks again!!

If US Netflix is the ONLY reason to want vpn access, there are other ways to get the US netflix without using a true VPN. I have a sagemcom and with the use of custom DNS entries, which the sagemcom allows us to manually set for the wan IP, I can access the US netflix servers. Your likely paying a vpn provider for a US IP. The service I use is pay also, about 5 dollars a month iirc. Also has a free 1 week trial - no billing info required. google 'Unblock Us' HOWEVER If your using the VPN for other purposes like a lot of people do, ie torrenting, this will not provide for same types of privacy there. So, if Netlfix is your only use, you could skip the asus rt-n66u and just go with sagemcom -> switch.

I did not say he cannot have IPTV, I said if he resets the Sagemcom and wipes out the settings, he will not have IPTV. I guarantee if you go into your connection hub Marshall, 192.168.2.1, and click on INTERNET on the left, your b1 and password will be there. Regardless if you let your own router after the fact also connect via pppoe is fine as Bell allows double login. Without the connection hub doing the PPPOE, it will not authorize the Bell receivers for FibeTV via ethernet or HPNA

Either that or both are DHCP, easy way to tell is to click advanced settings >TV in your modem and take note if its PPPOE or DHCP is ticked. -- Every time Someone leaves Sympatico an Angel gets its wings.

coaxguy join:2009-07-29 Reviews: ·Bell Fibe ·Start Communicat..	reply to Marshal Damn, I forgot it said FTTH, you are right. Sorry Marshal. Forgot about the other modem converting the fiber and then plugs into the WAN port on the Sagemcom. Spyke, I stand corrected. You have 2 options like Marshal said, you can reset the Sagemcom if you wish. I personally am on FTTN and have it set up the way I said above. Seeing as you want to flash your Asus and put custom firmware on, I would still suggest doing it the way I said. I have had flaky performance when DDWRT was doing the pppoe connection, which is why I let the Sagemcom do the work. I use Tomato, shibby version. I needed OpenVPN as well Here is a pic of what I mean for MAC reservation. Its to ensure the Sagemcom ALWAYS assigns the same IP to the Asus N66U. Then I go to the DMZ tab at the top and enable 192.168.2.10 (the asus) to work under DMZ. Ive not had an issue this way, and I get my full speed. (25/10)

SpykeYs join:2009-01-23	reply to SpykeYs Thanks so much guys! That's what i'll do I guess.. I'll let sagemcom handle the PPPoE and will assign my router a static IP and add it to the DMZ. Thanks guys!!

So, if Netlfix is your only use, you could skip the asus rt-n66u and just go with sagemcom -> switch. To use a service like unblock-us don't you need to disable dns forwarding by the Sagecom and enter those two custom dns #'s? If you do that then FibeTV doesn't work. For example, you can't disable the DHCP server on your Sagecom without the TV's losing service, even if you have a DHCP server on your LAN. So, how are you managing to use custom DNS's on devices such as a Roku which won't allow you to set the DNS #'s? With Fibe DSL ( not FibeTV) you could either disable the DHCP server or enter custom DNS #'s into the Sagecom and disable DNS forwarding. If DNS forwarding and DHCP are on then your devices will occasionally get the Bell DNS ip's. It's all confusing... philip
