Hi,
My Sky broadband is switching over from PlusNet on Friday 17th Jan, but still not had my hub.
My question is, can I use a TP Link Archer VR600 if it hasn't? According to the manual it will connect fine to an ONT via the WAN port.
Anyone know what additional settings I need?
I might have the hub by Friday, this is just incase as I need the internet to perform my job as just a bit worried.
Thank you

You should be able to use the archer directly connected to the ont

1. Connect the network cable from the FTTP wall box to port 4 (labelled LAN/WAN)
2. Login to the router and click advanced at the top.
3. Click Operating Mode and change to "Wireless Router Mode" press "Save"
4. Once ready, while on the "Advanced" setting again, go to "Network" -> "Internet"
5. You will see an empty table, click "Add" in the top right above said table
6. Change Internet Connection Type to "Dynamic IP"
7. Ensure IPv4 remains ticked.
8. Tick IPv6 (wont be selected at the moment)
9. Do not clone mac
10. Press Save
11. Wait, it can take a minute or two but should eventually show connected.
