Right here is your feedback:
HUB 3 will NEVER work properly with ATA Grandstream 801 which is locked. The hub was finally dropped to minimum on the firewall as there was not anything else attached to the router apart from Tado hub, all hardwired through lan connections.
The hub3 does not handle sip/rop well, infact it gets confused and drops the connection. Sure, when someone rings they hear the phone ring unfortunately the hub has not passed this to the ht801 and that thinks the line is still free and clear, enabling you to actually make a call outbound however they cannot hear you.
This will never improve until there is a firmware upgrade to the hub3 and access to the ht801 is enabled to make configuration changes to the keep alive settings.
Technically speaking the hub 3 is bugged in the firewall/Nat.
The hub 3 also was set up to pass secure feed to the LInksys MR5500. Worked fine for a few hours then the hub3 caused a system crash in itself. I blamed the MR5500 but checking the logs showed me the wan connection on the LInksys was not receiving any feed.
The hub3 had the white connected line light on, yet any computer I connected had no internet access. Obviously I was unable to access the admin pages either from the hub3 nor the MR5500. The MR5500 had access to it's own admin pages.
The hub3 was rebooted. Fine for a while but in the night crashed again taking out the heating and echo dots meaning no alarms. The boiler therefore overran and I woke to a house over 25 degrees, ouch, all fans on in the house to lower the temp again. Windows were opened too even at -4 outside!
The hub continually crashed throughout the morning despite any changes made. It is now going to the tip and the Linksys MR5500 taking only router status. Incidentally the MR5500 has a dedicated setting to enable sip and this works perfectly.
I am aware the hub 3 has a telephone port but not everyone will use talktalk VoIP.
On me:
I am multi skilled/qualified in many areas as I get bored very easily, even spending Christmas and 2 months prior updating my network qualifications to include latest CPD including a network /VOIP module that was years out of date.

Systems/networking Engineer. (left this after 4 years due to almost everything going remote - very boring desk based)

Yet happiest finally driving articulated lorries being out in the air all day.
I don't normally bother to tell people all this as someone always comes back with some 'smart-ass' comment and I really cannot be bothered to respond. I also do not help/give advice online etc as you are relying on people understanding and doing what you have stated correctly. Then when they don't and it all goes horribly wrong, they blame you for their total lack of simply following what has been stated to them. I have tried absolutely everything there is possible to do to make the HT801 work and be reliable but it simply is not possible on the hub3.
So Keith I have sympathy for you with your helping people but as you can see they simply do not follow what is said and then they blame you!!!
The Linksys has not missed a beat and I check every few hours to make sure the phone is active and working, perfectly 🙂
Network is fast and stable and above all, all WiFi connected devices stay working and no dropouts/not responding.
