Asus RT-AX56U with Superfast and Standard Master Socket

[Killerbot]

Ah, didn't realise that. Hadn't looked through them fully yet.  Noted thank you.

As an aside is there any benefit to doing it on either box? I know the Asus is more powerful but as its a 50mbps WAN link is it easier just setting on the TPLink following the instructions via that link?

No benefit whatsoever on either side of the WAN for tagging 101 is fine.

Thanks I should be able to configure and try but TCP router doesn't come until Tuesday.

Have it all set up now. The instructions on the tplink were a different version of the firmware so I don't really know how to set it up in bridge mode?

Those instructions show how to set up with pure bridge without VLAN tagging, for the BT Openreach VDSL2 network the WAN needs to be tagged with 101 at the TP-Link WAN port or the router you have connected to the TP-Link, either VLAN tag on the TP-Link or the router is acceptable but not both devices.

Once you have done that you need to fill in the DHCP Option  61 field in the wireless router with 'anything@skydsl|anything' without the single quotes for it to connect to Sky.

No option to pick anything under sky vdsl. Dynamic greyed out. 

entered the username and password under the sky_mer have it connected but don't see the option for bridge mode. 

I will look into it when youngling isn't nagging for YouTube and am I nearly finished yet. Ha.  

please post any information that will be helpful. 

btw I've added the information into my netgear router under section 61. But couldn't find a vlan option.

@Tester12345 

Have you dragged vlan 101 using the iptv function on the asus! What you have looks ok

@Tester12345 

You've set it up in Dynamic IP mode not bridge mode, it wont work that way

[Tester12345]

Everything else is greyed out. 

When I select sky, sky_mer, bt they don't give me that option. 

any ideas? 

[jamesn123]

@Tester12345 

You dont select Sky. Go into the advanced settings and select bridge. Should look something like my screenshots below

Sky mer is the option to use the tp link as a modem router. Sky vdsl if just as a modem. 

[Tester12345]

Think I've resolved it. Was helpful copying your settings and manually setting it up.
