Trying to use my existing ASUS DSL-AX82U Router (MOD EDIT as requested by user)

[groove_timer]

Hi All,

Hoping someone can help me.

I recently got the Vodafone Full Fibre 910 FTTP connection installed by Open Reach. I would like to use my own Asus router instead of the Powerhub dsl that Vodafone provided.

I've looked on the forum for pointers but am struggling to get my specific router to work. I've attached some screen shots of my settings but couple of things I'd like to check.

Is it DSL -ADSL WAN type I should be using, as this is the only one from the drop down list that allows me to add my VF broadband username and Broadband?

I have tried the following VLAN ID's (none i.e. 0, 901 and 101) but still not working. I did check with VF supports and they sent a standard text with my details and it said VLAN is not always needed. It says 901 at the end of that message but is that for City Fibre?

Also checked twice with VF support that I have the correct Username and Password. The Password is only 8 characters. I know in other posts that it's mentioned that it should be 9 characters?

Hoping I don't get stuck using the Powerhub, as the Wi-Fi signal is rubbish!

Thanks in advance for any help in resolving this.

Have you checked you have the latest firmware for the router?

From the other thread, the bit that made the difference is going into Dual Wan and changing Primary to WAN, have you done that?

Also, only one of your previous images are showing, so could you show us your complete pages, blanking out any personal details.

You posted 4 images at about the same time, one has been moderated, the others are presumably not acceptable.

One you posted about an hour later is showing, so I doubt the others will ever be.

Yeah I did that as well, still no difference

[groove_timer]

Yeah it’s on the latest firmware. Shows at the top of the first pic

Appreciate your help on this guys. Though I’m thinking maybe to just buy a mesh system over the Black Friday period and keep the PowerHub

You need to activate the WAN port, which in turn will disable dsl. Under the WAN tab find "Dual WAN". Don't enable Dual WAN but on that page you should be able to change your Internet connection to WAN. It's been a while since my last asus dsl router but you should find it there somewhere 🤞🤞‌ 

I have an old asus dsl in my bits somewhere, but it'll be tomorrow before I can dig it out.
