I have an Orbi WiFi router and satellites and want to switch out the sky hub fo something that supports bridge mode so I don't double NAT.
I have a technicolor tg588v v2 modem/router which I set up in bridge mode and the leds claim to be connected but the orbi says it can't connect to the Internet when I connect it up. Has anyone else got a tg588v v2 working in a similar setup? Is there anything I need to check the tg588v spec for compatibility?
Thanks!

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out more@Hatlessss If you have FTTC (Superfast) then the Technicolour router won't work as it cannot support DCHP Option 60/61 (unless anyone knows different) which Sky uses on their FTTC service

Thanks. Is there a recommended low cost modem for superfast? Or list of compatible modems?

Out of interest, why don't you want to double NAT?
NAT is a very general term covering many different mechanisms.

Double NAT can hamper a fair few things such as devices using UPnP, Gaming, VOIP
