I used the HH3 with my Infinity connection up until about 2 weeks ago as I was struggling to get the port forwarding to play ball. Now I'm using a WNR3300 with DD-WRT and a gigabit switch. I've got the flexibility to use what I want after the OR modem, as it should be!
I couldn't agree more.

I knew Sky were inflexable as regards routers but I really wanted to dump BT.

I didn't expect any problems with a Sagem. Getting this new Hub has flummoxed me for the moment but I am confident someone will figure out how to extract the relevent data from it soon.
