BT2700HGV Connecting two together

glnta77 — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 13:34:51 GMT

Hi all.

I have my BT2700HGV business hub in my office in the attic. Phone line and two VOIP phones attached.

The problem I have is that I am moving my office downstairs. I cannot run wires downstairs to the new location so the hub has to stay where it is.

I have a second (spare) BT2700HGV that I can put downstairs. I need both my VOIP phones plugged into this besides internet connection. How can I connect these two hubs together so that the second hub does the job of the first ?

I appreciate that I could by homeplugs and join both hubs together via ethernet cable that way but what elese would I need to do ? Would I disable DHCP in the second router and manually assign it an IP address ? or would I disable DHCP in the first hub as I want the second hub to do the job of the first in it's entirety ?

Appreciate any help that anyone can give.

Thanks

You will have to have a minimum of one network cable between the two devices.

As for VOIP running on the slave device ... I am not sure if it will work. However, at an appropriate time, I will attempt it and see if I can get my second line running on a slave 2700 - at present both are on the primary.
