Bluepath Setup Guides 

 

Replacing a BT Openreach Modem and Router with the NetGenie Smart Home Router. 

 
Before installing the NetGenie, please refer to the NetGenie Quick Start Guide and familiarise 
yourself its pages.   
 
This guide applies to the NetGenie Home VDSL/ADSL (mk3) Routers 
 

 

 

 

 

NetGenie Home VDSL/ADSL Mk3 Router 1 

 
BT Infinity was originally delivered with an additional white BT Openreach Modem.  This was part of 
their original infrastructure to deliver fibre speeds to the home.  
BT Openreach would have installed one of their VDSL Modems.  Either  a, Huawei Echolife HG612 or 
ECI B-Focus VDSL Modem, as pictured here. 
 

This would have been paired with BT’s Homehub 3 or 4, which is typically a  Huawei  FTTC/VDSL 
Router.
