Excellent choice , if i say so myself (it is the one i have) ,it supports dhcp option 61 and dhcpv6 pd.  And we have been advised that it is a good idea to run both authentication methods together

Weird. Is there no setting for DHCP-PD? See the screenshot below from my Asus router

Assuming the router is running the latest firmware?

Firmware needs to be 

RAX40

V1.0.3.62 and above

For dhcp 61

[Jan84NG]

V1.0.3.80

Would have to recommend you post on the netgear forums to clarify if its actually supported and why IPv4 DHCP Option 61 isnt working either. Or just look at a different router

Just want to update this thread and thank you all for your help.

I ended up purchasing an ASUS RT-AX 58U and followed the configuration in the following thread:

Pleased to say the internet is working perfectly!! 

The tplink and Netgear RAX did not work with Sky FTTP. The Asus allowed ipv6 PD and option 61 neither the Netgear or tplink allowed both concurrently.
