To enable bridge mode on the BT Business Hub 5, simply:

  1. On a PC or laptop connected to your hub, enter http://btbusinesshub.home or 192.168.1.254
  2. Click on Advanced Settings
  3. Enter your Admin password if prompted (can be found on the base of your Hub) and click Ok.
    If it doesn't accept the admin password, click on Hint. If there is a hint then a custom password has been setup. You will need to enter this, then click on Ok.
  4. Click Continue to Advanced Settings
  5. Choose the Broadband tab, then click on the Routing tab
  6. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to Bridging
  7. Tick Yes next to Enabled
  8. If you're sure click Yes on the next screen 

Your BT Business Hub should now be in bridge mode. You will need to change the settings on your other Router to use connection type PPPoA for ADSL connections and PPPoE for fibre connections. Depending on the Hub you're bridging to, you may need to enter your broadband connection details on your other router.
