Any ideas about receiving 2.5gb LAN on my PC

[Digilog]

It's called Giga Hub 4000. it only has one 10G LAN

The one with the interesting background story behind it.
That one was created with a non-removable spf+ port on the fiber, because if you had the older model, you just took out the spf+ module and plug it into a router. They made this unit so that they can force the opportunity to sell you phone service (green ports).
In its firmware, there is no "router disabled -> PPPoe pass thru enabled" switch. However, if you set the conditions the router is left when they are in PPPoe pass thru, the modem will switch into that mode. Because the VOIP is a separate PPPoe modem internally.

Directions :

1. Get your b1 number from the HomeHub settings and your b1 password by either changing it or calling and asking.
2. Disable all wifi network and UPnP / DLNA / SIP ALG / DMZ
3. Plug your router into the 10G port.
4. login to your router and select PPPoe for the WAN type and enter your b1 account username/password save, and reboot the router if it doesn't do this automatically.

Now the WAN connection on the router has an outside address. Have a nice day.

What you are saying is so interesting! you're talking about switching the gigahub to bridge mode without the option being available! I need to try that one in a better router!

Bell Canada is an updated DSL system. So when you establish a PPPoe you will get a public IP address and a system node DNS ip address (10.XXX.XXX.XXX).

I would suggest logging into the MyBell account and your PPPoe User name is your user ID and under settings in that screen I suggest clicking "Change modem access password" and assign a new PPPoe password since Bell uses weak passwords for this like Canada123.

Its sad that they use PPPoe on fiber since it does degrade the service from the get go, but oh well.

Unfortunate it has to be this way, because it's clear the user is ready/in need of more significant/capable/professional networking equipment at the present. this will only become more of a problem here in canada...

On the equipment side, Its not a big deal unless the service is greater than 10Gb and using that modem. The thing to avoid is using two routers with the same PPPoe account because it will load balance between the two and increase latency w/o gaining bandwidth and increase chances of buffer bloat. So its no big deal the ISP is forcing a VOIP breakout at the installation.
