Connecting a Draytek 2766vac to Sky Hub

I recently moved to Sly for broadband & landline. Whilst I made Sky aware I would be using my own router at no point t did they flag that SkyTalk isn't supported on 3rd party router.

I reconfigured my Draytek router & have internet access via Sky. However I do need access to my landline & the additional functionality that the Draytek offers.

On the Sky router I've disabled DHCP & plugged in my phone & that works ok.

On the Draytek, I've amended the static IP so they're on the same subnet, enabled WAN2 port, cabled between the two devices & reserved the IP address of the Sky router.

Does anyone know what configuration settings  WAN2 need pls & if anything else is required?

As sky talk only works with the sky hub the only way around it is to setup the draytek in access point mode, turn off the WiFi and dhcp server on the sky hub then connect the draytek to the sky hub with a patch cable.
