Setting up Asus RT-AX86U

[Johnasus]

Hi, I have just got an Asus RT-AX86U and tried to connect to Sky fibre Ireland. No matter what I've tried I can't connect. I have searched the sky forums but everything I've tried doesn't work. I have tried wireshark but I can't get any username or password. No settings seem to work. I don't want to flash it to the merlin firmware in case I don't need to or I have to return it. 

Can anyone guide me through the settings for my router please?

Hey, did you get this resolved?

@Cork81 

Is that a dsl router or just the router.  What modem are you using ?

[Cork81]

ASUS is the router and I am looking to bridge using a Huawei HG659b

[cookiemonsteruk]

@Cork81 

Is the modem up and running and you just need to bridge.  Or do you need credentials for modem as well as bridge.? 

[Cork81]

Thanks for coming back.

I read on another forum that I don't need a modem as the ONT is the modem I just need the credentials to set up the asus router.

New to all this so bear with me.

@Cork81 

FTTP in Ireland uses PPOE and you're correct, no modem is needed as you have the ONT in place.

@Skull+Treaty  & @cookiemonsteruk 

Thanks both.

So it is a matter of going through the the asus set-up options for PPOE

using XXXXXXXXXX@skydsl | abcde1234 as your credentials.

Anything else needed?

@Cork81 

Have a look at this thread - those you mention are for VDSL/MER

[Cork81]

Thanks @Skull+Treaty 

Read through the thread. 

Will give the set-up a go later and let you know how I got on.

So here is the latest...

Connected ONT to WAN port on Asus

Ran set up on Asus.

PPPOE select and when its asked for username and password put in 

52616e646f6d7573657240736b7964736c7c70617373776f7264

And 

6.14.1aN_UNI|PCBAFAST2504Nv1.0

But it is still not connecting

Have a look at this one, it might be the user name & password from the other thread was incorrect 

https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Broadband/Sky-Ireland-Siro-change-of-router/m-p/3607937

The details that Sky gave you are to access their hub, so will be useless to you

Thanks @Skull+Treaty ,

Username & password of that last thread worked.

I also had to configure the VLAN setting of the Asus router using the following steps

Configure VLAN for the Interface
1. From the web GUI, go to Advanced Settings > LAN > IPTV tab.
2. On the Select ISP Profile field, select Manual Setting.

3. At the Internet field, key in the VLAN ID provided by your ISP.
For example, Odyssey Fibre requires you to use VLAN 10 for Internet connections so you have to enter 10 on Internet > VID filed.

4. Go to Advanced Settings > WAN > Internet Connection tab.
5. Select the correct Internet connection type according to your ISP connection settings.

Using all of the above I got it working!!!! thanks for the help.
