I don't think it will work with BQM, you have to put a pingable device in the DMZ.

In reply to a post by MrSaffron:
By the way, has anyone tried turning off the firewall to get the BQM ping working? Wording suggests that NAT is still working. Very much a router that has lots of options missing, in the ilk of the TalkTalk and Sky devices.

I tried disabling what I could to see if it was pingable, but I didn't get anywhere. I didn't try very hard though. Could be bothered. Its a horrible user interface, so I factory reset it, put it back in its box in my storage cupboard where its been since my FTTC install.

Will be giving it a good try, DMZ was another option but far from perfect

Which HomeHub 3 and which firmware?
There was at least one version with terrible web interface speed, but I think the current versions are OK.
I'm on a 3B with firmware 'Software version V100R001C01B031SP12_L_B'

p.s. There are those who think you should never put the words 'sanity' and 'HomeHub' in the same sentence

Mine is an A and (almost) lightning fast! It lives in its box and it does not have VOIP termination capability.

Re: Sanity check on HomeHub3


[re: MrSaffron] [link to this post] 		 
No prob accessing the Hub (via 192.168.254), but Firefox does not render the CSS prosperity (or rather the CSS is probably IE centric) giving a white-text-on-white-background look that is tasteful, but unhelpful.

Had mine (& Infinity 2) 2 weeks now. 3B model. s/w version is V100R001C01B031SP12_L_B. I log in via chrome, usually over wireless link, and it seems pretty quick.

I hate not being able to change DNS setting. Very annoying that it is locked. Would be nice if I could view the line stats on 'my' ECI modem too

AdBolock causes that so maybe you don't have AdBock in IE ??

I've had mine about 2 weeks as well (not infinity, unfortunately) but they sent a 3A. As that doesn't have NAT Loopback, I asked if they'd swap it for a 3B which they did without question.

Just wondering if they "offload" 3A's onto non-fibre (which I can understand) and issue 3B's automatically to infinity customers.

(At least it gave me the opportunity to play with both for a few days smile)

John.
