ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000

[Dansky2022]

Hi Sorry can anybody help i've brought a Asus Rog Rapture GT-AXE1100 as i have several Rog laptops and need wifi 6e for a new VR Headset (Pico 4) and one of the laptops but will it work straight out of the box with sky ultrafast fibre broadband? I've never been any good with understanding routers.

Not quite out of the box. If you have fttp via an ont

 

Then ethernet the asus to the sky hub and update the firmware sequentially until it doesn't update anymore. The remove the sky hub and plug the asus directly into the ont and find the client identifier (option 61) field and enter

anything@skydsl|anything 

And you should be able to connect to sky

In this scenario you will lose sky internet calls

Hi Thank you for your help i'm getting the router on Tuesday so will need to do that, where will I find client identifier (option 61) field and enter anything@skydsl|anything do you mean this exactly or is this an example? sorry for my ignorance on this but never understood anything to do with routers and there setting

You should find client identifier (option 61) in the wan settings screen in the wan section on the left hand side of the main asus screen

And it can be typed as shown or something else so long as the @skydsl| is included

Thank you so much i will follow your instructions tuesday night and will ask if i get stuck, where do you enter  anything@skydsl|anything?

@Dansky2022 

You will find that option by clicking on "WAN" in the column on the asus which will bring up a seperate  wan screen and further down you should see client identifier (option 61) listed .

@Dansky2022 

Should look pretty much like this

 

Don't enable iaid/duid and just type the identifier string in the space provided

Also at dhcp query frequency change from aggressive to normal.

Last thing are you in the uk?

Do I use the sky router as a modem will the sky modem slow down the Asus? Anyone help with a full break down of what I need and what to buy?

@Kinnabraw Sky hubs do not work in modem mode but you can connect a Asus router behind a Sky hub with its wifi turned off and have what is known as a Double NAT set up which isnt ideal but works for most devices and apps. This is the simplest set-up

However if you "need" wifi 6e but otherwise are happy wiith the Sky hub which is a router not a modem then you can a run third party wifi unit in Access Point mode which just provides wifi coverage but leaves routing duties to the Sky hub. That is the solution I use myself.

If you want to dump the Sky hub totally the you can either buy a Asus unit with a built-in VDSL modem or use the model you quote behind a cheap TP-Link modem router most of which can be configured to operate in modem mode.

Whatever of those options you choose but of course while Wifi 6e is potentially far faster then the current. Wifi5 the Sky hub offers you will still be limited to the same external bandwidth.
