3rd Party Router on full fibre 900

Hi everyone.

I feel like I am going insane trying to get my Asus DSL-AX82U router working as a replacement to the vodafone hub. I've scoured these boards and even amazon comments to try and get it working. FTTP/H by openreach. 

Password and email to the broadband are correct as I've reached out to vodafone to check three times.

Can someone please provide a step-by-step if they've managed to get it to work?

Thank you very much, I'll give it a try.

@shawpants you can run through the QIS without losing any of your personalised settings - just click the QIS button.

It is all working now, I set the connection up manually. 

The issue I was having was that I had temporarily daisy-chained the ASUS from the Vodafone Router and to do this it needed the WAN settings to be set as "Automatic IP".  I originally tried to set up the connection using only the ASUS by leaving the 'Automatic IP' WAN connection and just adding a second one that was PPPoE thinking that if one connection failed it would just move to the next one in the list, but this didn't work.  When I removed the 'Automatic IP' connection so that I only have the PPPoE connection it worked.

I couldn't do the Quick Internet Setup, for some reason the ASUS interface would just hang while trying to auto detect the connection and I couldn't select the country and provider as it just kept jumping back to trying to auto detect the connection.

Thanks all for the help, much appreciated.

Getting my own router to work with Vodafone fiber 900

After 3 calls, several emails and nearly 2 hours on the phone with TP-LInk.  My AXE 75 Router is now working great.   Vodafone gave me a VLAN ID: of 101.  TP - Link worked the VLAN ID out as 911 and got the router working fine.  They then sent me a print out of the status page showing all the setting.  Contact me if you would like a copy. 

Now I need to say that TP-Link and Especially Mae Long were Patient and brilliant at getting my AXE 75 to connect to the internet.  If you are thinking of getting a modem or router and you are not technical   You should be buying TP-Link and I have not been encouraged to recommend them.  My home has all TP-Link, router extender and Deco.  The back up when I need help is outstanding.
