Plusnet supplied router

Can you bridge the supplied plusnet modem/router?

In the UI of the Plusnet Hub Two under Advanced settings/Broadband there is a toggle for Bridge Mode.

You can also get your own router and go down that router. If you are on FTTC you can get a old openreach FTTC modem from ebay for little money, that is the way I went

That may have been a good solution back in the early years of FTTC but not now.

The internal modem of the current Plusnet router is a much better VDSL modem than the that of the many years obsolete old Openreach ones.

Maybe, but it depends how long they are going to stay on FTTC.

Is it?
My modem worked fine.

If bridging works ok then yes go for that, I tried it on a plusnet router, granted it was one of the older ones, and it disconnected now and again.

I got one of those off ebay, unlocked it and used it on my 40Mb/s FTTC [I didn't need 80]. Worked a treat if we are talking about core router functionality and I would still use it I were on FTTC. Difficult to see how a modern plusnet router could be any better
