I am about to try setup my home network this week when i get a chance and i currently have a BT home hub 6 doing all the work. I purchased a Ubiquiti edgerouter X and wifi access point lite last year and never got round to setting them up.

I plan to move the phone line and router to the office so i can wire my desktop computer to the router.

Just wondered if anyone can spot any issues with my plan and what settings i might need to configure to get the edgerouter x working with the BT home hub? I am guessing disable the wifi on the homehub and let the ubiquiti acess point do that .

Any pointers would be a great help.

Ah, thats a bit crap, i assumed i could just knock off the router side of things from home hub and use it as a modem.

I have the ubiquiti AP AC lite access point.

Thanks for the replies. I am using it as i bought it last year when living at a different address and while im moving the phone line and router to the office i thought i may aswel use it.

I think i have the old openreach modem at work so i might give that a try. i plan to get some of the ubiquiti cctv gear in the future so thought sticking with the router, access point would be a good idea.
