The Hub Two does not offer a separate guest Wi-Fi, and the dual-band 2.5Ghz and 5Ghz work in sync and cannot be independently split. The router, unlike its BT counterpart can work in bridge mode, thus meaning it can serve as just a modem, this is only necessary when using it for ADSL/VDSL. For fibre an ONT is used as the modem.
If a router finds a match, it will forward the packet through that route; if not, it will send the packet to its own default gateway. Each router encountered on the way will store the packet ID and where it came from so that it can pass the response packet back to the sender. The packet contains source and destination, not all router hops.
