How to remove/bypass Bell Hub 2000 and use your own router 

Yes it is. Turn off wifi of bell router and then setup your router as in the video. You can't really bridge bell router.

Bell 2000 comes with media converter if you have Bell Fibe. If you don't have media converter as the one in the video that means you have DSL. This doesn't apply to DSL scenario.

It is not possible in this setup. On hub 3000 is possible but not in this one.

@@Outdoor_Wanderer thank you!

Isn't your Bell 2000 coming with an external media converter? Where the optical cable goes in? Like the white think in the video. If not maybe you don't have fibe and you have only DSL?

@@Outdoor_Wanderer ya i think i only have dsl. I did a little more research after. Thanks for responding

@@3cheese711 could you share ur research here

@@blessondaniel3735 well i learned last night that if bell canada detects a 3rd party modem that they just shut your internet off lol. Hope that helps, what a bunch of assholes

@@3cheese711 Totally agreed! I called Bell to find a solution to add a firewall router because this Bell hub 2000 has no security features. I spent 3 hours, got transferred five departments. At the end, they either charge me a separate internet account or promote me dedicated IP as a firewall replacement. WTF.. BTW, for those who has telephone service bundled with the internet, there is no way to bypass the bell hub 2000. Otherwise, your telephone service is affected. This is confirmed with Bell after talking three hours.

Same as I described in the video. They install a media converted with Bell hub 2000 that has SFP module inside. No need for extra module. About the routers that supports SFP I don't know. I don't even know if you can take out the SFP from media converter that bell installs

Some did by tagging another port to 36. Buy I can't vouch for it.

I am using an Asus GT 2900 with Merlin firmware and I am very pleased. Ac 86U has some issues with 5gh band getting bad but has good coverage.

@@Outdoor_Wanderer thank you for the recommendation, I bought a net gear nighthawk ax5400 Wi-Fi router.. But I am having trouble bypassing Bell2000 I have plugged the Ethernet wire coming from the media converter (in my electrical board) to the router directly, but it is not picking up the internet on my netgear router. I am not that tech savvy so please can you help me with it. I do not have my Hub2000 on bridge mode as it just makes the speed more worse

@@lovedeepsharma3191 Only 200 mbps????

Not anymore, I was using it for the 3000 hub. I am only using the media converter, and my own router. Hub2000 is somewhere collecting dust.

@@Outdoor_Wanderer ah, I am switching from 3000 to 2000 , that’s why I am curious about my TP-Media in the future if it will collect dust or not.

Unfortunately for business you can inly get it if you call them. I ask the guy who installed to tell me the password.

@@Outdoor_Wanderer Thanks for the video. Do we also need to tell them to activate bridge mode so that we can use our own router?

Do this procedure and add another asus router to create a Mesh network. You get 200 wireless or wired?

@@Outdoor_Wanderer wired

can i contact you?

In my area bell is optical fiber. I work in IT.

No exactly But you can connect two routers on the same network

Nope, just a passionate do it yourself guy.

@@Outdoor_Wanderer me too. i'm married. lol. thanks for the video. exactly what i need. Bell's port forwarding is a shame. Nothing works. Upnp doesn't work on the 2000 whatsoever.

Sorry about that, looks like the majority of people watching this understood. I don't have the best audio and video equipment as I am not a professional youtuber. Just tried to help some people. Try with subtitles looks like youtube is doing a good job for this video.

I think he comes off as genuine and not in it to be a massive youtube influencer right off the bat. Seems like a good guy, spreading lesser known, but very helpful information. I'm sorry he didn't meet your standards, but to me, this guy is "it". Next time just say thank you and move on with some gratitude for this guy not being as unknowledgable as you or as seemingly worthless.

Seriously dude?

His voice >>>>>>> your mind

Where's your video on the subject? I got everything I needed to know from his video. Also in the same situation going from HH3000 to Business Hub 2000.

Sorry Paul, your comment is very insensitive. Also I had zero issues understanding anything he explained, poor audio or accent aside. Your comment reminds me of a glowing report someone I knew submitted to their boss, that ended up saving the company millions of bucks, and the bosses' response was "You misspelled the word "determination".
