The HG612 is getting a bit long in the tooth now but should work as a modem in it's default state. It can be configured for routing if unlocked but is pretty underpowered and not really recommended to be used like that.

The idea was to just use it as a modem, I have another router he can also have (we used this combination early in troubleshooting our own fttc issues). SoGEA was a new term to me and I had to do a bit of reading to get up to speed - he didn't seem aware that it would mean he loses the phone number attached to the phone line, and he wasn't warned of this on the phone from Onestream!

He's going to get in touch with them tomorrow or Monday to inquire as to why he wasn't told this is what would happen.

Cheers!

I've never tried operating them as a router, but as a modem they were by far the best for me when I ran VDSL lines.
