Hi I'm trying to replace my sky hub with an Archer v400. I have selected Sky MER in the wizard but it asks for a username and password, which I don't know. I have tried anything@sky addl and anything as password but the test connection fails.
I have the ONT box connected to the wan port on the v400. Anyone any ideas? Thanks

That tp link is a vdsl modem router whilst the ont is a fibre modem
You would need to follow the steps below to bypass the archer modem and authenticate via dhcpv6 prefix delegation
1. Connect the network cable from the FTTP wall box to port 4 (labelled LAN/WAN)
2. Login to the router and click advanced at the top.
3. Click Operating Mode and change to "Wireless Router Mode" press "Save"
4. Once ready, while on the "Advanced" setting again, go to "Network" -> "Internet"
5. You will see an empty table, click "Add" in the top right above said table
6. Change Internet Connection Type to "Dynamic IP"
7. Ensure IPv4 remains ticked.
8. Tick IPv6 (wont be selected at the moment)
9. Do not clone mac
10. Press Save
11. Wait, it can take a minute or two but should eventually show connected.
