Asus RT-AC85P

I have just moved over to Sky from VM and had recently purchased the Asus router for VPN access when out on a customers site.

It appears the Sky Hub will not allow me to do "Modem Only"

 

Can it be configured to allow the VPN functionality again within the Asus ? 

As an AP I lose all but the wifi connections on it.

I hope it's a simple thing ??

Correct, The Sky Hub does not offer modem mode at all. If you want to VPN back into your home network you'd need to replace the Sky hub outright with your Asus router or put the IP of the Asus router into the Sky hubs DMZ. 

 

Worth noting that the domestic Sky Broadband products do not support business use so if you are relying on the connection to VPN back when conducting business at a customers site then it sounds like you are not on the correct service

Thanks for the reply.

I have managed to get VPN to work with some port forwarding from the Sky Hub into the Asus, but just some more issues now with devices on each not seeing each other.

I'm thinking that using the Asus to DHCP everything so it's all on the same network and nothing online direct to the Sky Hub will sort this ?

Correct. Put everything on the adress space/DHCP of the Asus router would be the best option
