BiPAC 8900AX R2 & EE 4 Gee Home Router

[DaveMac]

Hi All

I've been struggling now for a number of years with a rural ADSL connection which at best was 2Mb until I purchased the BiPAC 8900AX R2 which then knocked it up to 3.5Mb, great!

However, 3.5Mb is no longer cutting the mustard so I'm looking at jumping onto the LTE (4G) bandwagon for my internet connectivity. I'm smack bang in the middle of three 4G towers in the Fens (nice and flat) with a great 4G signal on the phone both inside and outside the house.

EE provide a bespoke modem/router with their package (very, very basic) that does have a couple of 1 Gig LAN ports and a USB port. Acknowledging the basic nature of this modem/router what's the best way of connecting the EE modem to my BiPAC 8900AX R2 and using the latter as the router?

Thanks

Dave

Configure the 8900 for a Ethernet >>> IPOE connection, then plug a Ethernet connection from the EE modem/router to the EWAN port on the 8900.

Also make sure the EE modem/router IP address is on a different subnet eg EE modem router = 192.168.0.254,, 8900 = 192.168.1.254
