Using a 3rd Party Router (ASUS) with Ultrafast

[lawtonma]

Help!

I current use an ASUS DSL-AX82U and an ASUS Mesh Wifi Network on Vodafone DSL Broadband - which works great. We are being upgraded (today) to UltraFast and I wondered if anyone had successfully used a 3rd party router (ideally ASUS ) to connect. 

In my mind there are 2 options.

1. Leave the Vodafone hub as the primary connection, and turn the ASUS into an Ethernet WAN-connected device so have both.

2. Replace the Vodafone Hub with the ASUS by connecting the WAN port to the OpenReach OTP

Eitherway it would be good to know of any settings/advice from someone who has done it before!
