Does Huawei Echo Life HG612 have any router functionality?
« on: June 30, 2014, 05:54:17 PM »

The reason I ask is that I have a TP Link W8960N plugged into it but it is not giving me DHCP which I need to get an IP address to my Mitel IP Phone. (I have an Apple Time Capsule between my W8960 and the IP Phone).

What should I replace the W8960N with or can I plug the Time Capsule straight into the Huawei HG612?

If I unlock it, can I plug it straight into an EOP box (TP Link Powerline) which connects to my Time Capsule. Also, can i change DNS settings on the HG612 as well?

thanks!

Yes, it's a complete modem + router, but without WiFi. See http://wiki.kitz.co.uk/index.php/Huawei_HG612
