Reply To: RT-AX86U and BT Smarthub2 Query Hi all, Getting my BT full fibre in a few days and I have read that to use Digital Voice, I need to use the BT Smarthub 2 otherwise I…

Yes, i still have original phone service as before as I’m not being moved to digital voice according to the engineer that visited.  BT website said I was getting it BUT when they sent the info of what we being sent, it was only smarthub, not the digital phone I believe they send also so I thought maybe it would come later after the fibre was fitted but seems not.

BT order now says its been completed so not expecting to get anything else.

My biggest issue with the VOIP system I have is that every time power goes out and it comes back on, the VOIP box I have fails to register.  I have to go in and change the SIP and RTP ports and then it automatically registers, no issue at all.

I’ve now tried to use port forwarding but I’m not entirely sure I have set it up correctly but I’ve done it so will tell next time power goes out.

Only issue now is I removed the BT phone, which involves feeding the wire down a small gap as I was thinking wont need that anymore but now I’ll have to put it back at some point lol, that’s even if I bother using it, which tbh it’s seldom used.  BT even looked it up once as they were trying to sell me a “phone package” and I told them I rarely use it and they said let me check as people often say that but are surprised by how much do they actually use it, sure enough not 1 call over that contract period was made from the phone lol
