OpenReach Hub

[Ravenk]

Hi folks 

We live in a new build house that is 5 years old.

The whole development is fibre to the door.

We are currently migrating to vodafone from BT (been with them for 5 years).

Our setup is a OpenReach ONT, that has a power cable in it and a network cable that plugs it into an OpenReach HUB (?).   Our BT Wi-fi router then plugs into via a network cable into a port in the OpenReach HUB and a wire connects our master telephone socket into a telephone port in the OpenReach HUB.

We are waiting for our vodafone connection to go live that is currently running 2 days late.

The landline is dead (recorded message saying out if service) , but internet still connects via BT.

Question: Can I simply unplug the BT Wi-fi router from the OpenReach HUB and plug the vodafone Wi-fi Router into the same socket/port ?

or does it have to go directly into the ONT (thus unplugging the HUB and plugging the vodafone router in its place. Then telephone wire into the vodafone Wi-fi router) ?

Thanks 

Kevin

Ok with a torch so I could see properly and gritting teeth due to back pain , I have twisted body into cupboard and now can see my error.

The 4 port thing I thought was a Hub is the ONT and the thing I thought was the ONT is a battery backup.

so ignore this post please 🙂
