Can I replace BT Home Hub with my own router?

[qasdfdsaq]

The Homehub may be still trying to establish a PPPoE connection which could confuse things. I've never seen that though, always worked fine for me using it as just an additional wireless AP - though admittedly it was never very good at it anyway. Home Hub 5 is way better :P

Update - I noticed a 'familiar' slowing down of the router. This thread solved it: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Router_Slowdown

However, now ntop doesn't seem to send any data to: http://localhost:3000/

Will keep tinkering...

In solving the slow-down issue, I close the ports that ntop tracks - we are heavy users of P2P (Netflix etc. and we use XBox Live). I guess the WRT54G can;t handle BT Infinity broadband, with multiple P2P device connections...

What I have now done is replace the WRT54G with the BT HH3 as my internet gateway, but have included the WRT54G on my LAN, piping everything through the BT HH3, and so far it seems to be working nicely.

Why don't you buy a new router that can run open source firmware ?

That's the conclusion I've come to :-)

Which router are you going for?

The WRT54G can only really handle 20-30Mbps on a good day, with no extra services running. Anything more is going to cause slowdowns.
