Nice video, i am looking to use the same setup when i receive my bell, dumb question do i need to use PPOE or automatic is fine ? what is the difference not too tech savy
Hey, thanks for the comment. If you don't use the PPPoE pass through on the Asus router, the asus router will not get an external Ip address, it will get an ip address from dhcp on Bell model (something in the range of 192.168.2.x). If you are not planning to use the DDNS on the Asus router or something like Aicloud, then it wouldn't matter and you can use auto on the asus. You can do some research regarding double NAT with Bell modem. With DDNS you will be able to access your local servers with ports forwarded on the Asus router externally with the free asus domain name; if this is too much information, disregard it 😊.
@11:00 - is there any actual setting that needs to be configured in order to enable "PPPoE Passthrough", or is "PPPoE Passthrough" enabled by default? Your description seems to indicate that "PPPoE Passthrough" is enabled by default as long as no DMZ setting is set - is that correct? If not can you elaborate on how the "PPPoE Passthrough" needs to be configured?
Hey, on the Bell modem (HH4K) you don't need to do anything as long as you follow the settings I recommended @ 9:36. However if you go to 14:17 there is a setting on the ASUS router you need to change to enable the PPPoE under WAN->WAN Connection Type->change it to PPPoE. Keep in mind you would need your b1 Username and password from Bell. Do you know how to get the b1 username and password? With this setting you will get double NAT anyways (one on Bell Modem and one on ASUS Router) but you can defiantly access your public IP that the ASUS modem acquires with free DDNS service.
@@parhamsan: I actually do not have a HH4K yet but plan that I might be able to get service at my home next year so I'm learning ahead. I'm sure I'll be able to get my b1 credentials so that part should not be a problem. I (would) use my own custom home-built router (Linux box) which I currently use with a VDSL modem in bridge mode. I'm looking at a way to eventually swap the VDSL modem in bridge mode with the HH4K in "PPPoE Passthrough" mode so want to learn how that "PPPoE Passthrough" is configured - definitely looks like it is enabled by default on the HH4K...
@djsixottawa true, no need for additional changes on Bell Modem. Any router that has PPPoE as WAN connection would work. There is a way to completely remove the HH4000 but I have not tried it yet, good luck with everything!
@@parhamsan: nice - any chance you can try to remove the HH4K altogether and make a new video about it? otherwise any link to any 'howto' on how one bypasses the HH4K altogether? ( I've read about how this can be done by swapping the SFPs but that is only for HH3K, not HH4K which has its SFP integrated... )

So the asus router ethernet output won't put out more then 1gb? I'll have to get that network switch to achieve 1.5gb? Or is it used for more then 4 ethernet ports to connect?
Correct, may I ask your ISP and the speed of your internet. Also how many devices are you planning to have 2.5gb connectivity? If you plan to have only 1 device then the ASUS GT-AX6000 has one 2.5gb WAN and one 2.5gb LAN and you are good. But if you have multiple devices with 2.5gb LANs then you need to buy a managed or unmanaged 2.5gb switch. Does this make sense?
Hello, yes I still have the router in my basement. It is probably one of the best routers that I owned. The wifi on both 2.4 and 5g are strong the range is crazy good! I live in a 2 story mid size house, and the signal strength from the basement to the top floor is 4/5 bars. And yes you can customize the rgb as you like rainbow/solid color or even completely turn it off from your asus router webpage.
Hey, no the username and password you use to login into your Bell account is different from your b1 username and password. The one you use to login to bell account, for example to see your bill is usually your email address and preferred password. The one you use for pppoe username, start with b1. You can call bell to get the username and password or you can simply get the username from your account and simply change the password for the b1 username. If you are interested I can show you how to do it.
Hey, I think the latency on the Download and Upload would be the same. If you goto minute 13:12 you can see that the DL/UP latency without the router (speed test directly from my ISP modem) is around 2ms. Now if you go to minute 15:46 you can see that the latency (speed test on the ASUS router) is around 1.71ms. So if not better, the latency should be the same as your ISP latency. In my case I think since I am bypassing the ISP Modem, My latency is actually a bit lower so you should expect the same. Any latency lower that 20ms is perfect for gaming and is considered lag free latency.
Hello Parham, I recently purchased GT-AXE11000 and followed the steps in the ASUS website you showed. but when I apply those settings ( PPoE, bell logins) There was no internet in my router. Internet LED on router turned red. Did you do anything while setting up modem... The speed that showed on speed check on Asus router is accurate but i am getting just 500 mbps for my 3gbps package. I don't know what trick did you do.
Hey, didn't quite catch what you mean, so when you added the PPPoE credentials on the ASUS Router are you getting internet on your Asus router or not? With PPPoE passthrough you should be able to access your Bell Modem on 192.168.2.1. Do a speed test on the Bell HH4k/Gigahub and see the result are you getting the advertised speeds on both the Bell Modem and the ASUS Router? Obviously because of the 2.5gb WAN port of the ASUS Router you will not get anything higher than 2.2 Down/2.2 Up. One more thing, make sure to use the Black LAN of the Bell Modem to the 2.5gb WAN of the ASUS router. What is the computer that you are testing your speed? Does it have a 2.5gb NIC? With this configuration you are getting double NAT (meaning one external IP on Bell Modem, and one on the ASUS router). On the Dashboard of the ASUS router, do you see an the WAN IP (External IP address) that is different from Bell Modem? Make sure to set these values on the ASUS Router: AiProtection-->Enabled AiProtection OFF Game acceleration-->QoS-->Enable QoS OFF (Under Advanced Settings) Firewall--> Enable Firewall No So turn all of the AiProtection, QoS, and Firewall OFF After that restart the ASUS Router and let me know how it goes.
@@parhamsan first of all thank you so much for prompt and detail response…speed on modem and router asus dashboard speed in wired connection is as advertised.. but in wifi it’s it’s just around 600 mbps..

@@GHUMGHAMCANADA Ok, I see now, that definitely means either one of your b1 username or password are not correct and you are not getting PPPoE passthrough on the ASUS router. May I know the format of the password you are using for the b1 bell username: The b1 username has a format of: b1xxxxxxxx and password is usually either given to you, or you can change your password on your Bell online account. It should be 8 character/number long (exactly 8 character long mix of alphabet and numbers). The b1 password is not the password you use to login to you Bell online account to see your bill and usage!!! You can change you password from this guide: support.bell.ca/internet/connection-help/connection-hub.how_to_update_my_bell_internet_user_id_and Nevertheless, is there any specific reason you want to PPPoE passthrough? If you are getting proper speeds on you Bell Modem and ASUS router (web gui) the it seems to me you are having wifi setting issues rather than LAN speed correct? So this is more likely wifi setting and tweaks. to give you an idea, I have recently switched to Bell 3/3gb plan and the max I can get sitting close to my GT-AX600 is around 1.4 Down/1.3 Up on wifi 6. 600mbps seems slow to me and something is going on. Are you devices connected to the ASUS wifi or the Bell wifi?

Hey, yes when I had 500gbps from bell I used my old asus router to bypass the bell modem, do you have hh3000 or hh4000? The process should be the same but for some reason with hh3000 it was easier to bypass it.
@@helsan74 oh sorry didn't pay close attention, you have 2 options as there is no actual bridge mode on the Bell hh4000, one is the PPPOE passthrough and the other one is DMZ and advanced dmz. In DMZ you add the MAC address of your asus router on the Bell dmz page. In both options you get double NAT and the public ip changes on the asus router frequently. But you still should be able to access your public ip. I am using a dynamic dns client to take care of that.
@@parhamsan I already have a ddns with a domain pointing to my router and sub servers on my home network. I treid once the DMZ... but was really unstable. This is why I'm curious to try the PPPOE option. What are the benefits for PPPOE over simply having a cable from GigaHub to the AX6000 wan?
@@helsan74 I have tried both, and the only thing I realized is that with PPPOE my connection is more stable.

Im with rogers. Have 1.5gb througg xb7 modem for cable. Will it work if i plug modem into 2.5gb port through bridge mode then plug my pc into the other 2.5gb port to receive my speeds? I dont know much about the internet stuff but i rather not purcahse this router if i wont be able to get the speeds.
Hey, yes it should work. In the case of rogers ISP you don't need to set any PPPoE credentials. What I suggest is to test the pc that has a 2.5gb nic with the rogers modem/router first to make sure it gives you speeds higher than 1gb. I don't have XB7 modem from rogers, but seems that the ethernet port number 4 is 2.5gb (orange bar beside it). If that's the case you put rogers modem into bridge mode, and connect from port 4 of rogers to the WAN port of the asus router. Then you should get 2.5gb on one port of the asus router. If you need more than one 2.5gb connections, then you need to buy a switch (managed or unmanaged) and connect the 2.5gb from asus to one of the 2.5gb ports on the switch. Then connect other PCs with 2.5gb lan to that switch. Check my other video, I am using a Mokerlink 2.5gb unmanaged switch and so far it has been solid! Let me know if you have any other questions!
