Hi all,
I am new to this forum so please move my thread if this is not the right place.
Yesterday, my new Giganet (FibreCity) broadband connection has been installed and it works flawlessly so far. Now I have one challenge I am hoping someone who was in the same situation could advice me on.
The wireless router they provided is a Technicolor DGA4134, however I would like to use my own ASUS RT-AC86u as I had two in a mesh running so that the house and garden were covered at all time.
It seems I do not need the Technicolor in bridge mode as I can take the signal directly from the ONT. The PPPOE setup seems to be straight forward but the VLAN ID tagging is a bit unusual (Needs to be setup in the IPTV section of the ASUS firmware). Also, I found an article for another ASUS router saying that you need to setup dual WAN what I actually don't really understand as I am not planing on a failover. So I guess my question is if someone has done this config successfully before with this Asus wireless router Model or a similar? The VLAN ID has to be 910 so I definitely need to set it but so far no luck with getting it to work.
Thank you
