Thanks very much for the link. The Linksys is no use to me as anything other than a table ornament anyway, so it's no loss if it all goes awry. It might be the first thing I've ever flashed, bricked and then not kicked myself for afterwards. They say there's really only one way to get...

Thanks for that. I'm not that well into this stuff yet, before I cross post please help me understand what Openwrt and DD-WRT are, or point me at somewhere I can self educate a little. I was hoping it might be as simple as putting fully functional firmware on a USB and forcing an incorporation...

Hello. I suppose I should post this query in either the Linksys or TP-Link sub-forums, but it's a question about both so here goes...... I have two brand new routers, both supplied by my new ISP but not up to meeting my networking requirements, for which I'm using my own Asus model instead...

Yep, that's exactly what I did - Cat 6 hardwired laptop direct to the ISP supplied WiFi 7 router, which was direct to the ONT. I even tried it with the tatty ribbon cable they provide replaced by a good quality, short Cat 6 connexction. As already mentioned, the Asus QoS is off. When it comes...

Firmware is 3.0.0.4.388_24333, checks out as latest available when I look to update. Nothing fancy set in the AX88U yet, I reverted it all the way back to the fastest config I could find when direct connected to an Openreach ONT for about 4 years. I will maybe set QoS for the new telephone...

It works! :):):)👍👍🫰 Thanks so much for that Colin. I had to monkey about a bit with the other settings like DHCP mode and remove some of the dross I'd had to put in there to accomodate a BT SmartHub 2 in a previous life, before I could get the router and the ONT to have a deep and...

Thanks for that Colin, I'll have a play. I'd found a similar suggestion from a deep AI search but nowhere did I find a mention of putting the VLAN ID in the VID field, and t'interweb suggested they're not the same thing. But close enough apparently. Silly me. I assume that I leave PRIO...

I love my RT- AX88U but I've recently dumped BT and gone to another provider of FTTP. Their service requires that I set Auto IP and a VLAN ID to connect to the ONT. The AX88U (it's not a Pro) can't do VLAN in native mode. So I've managed to cobble something together using a 15 year old...
