Hi there,

I've just had my cable broadband modem upgraded. I was supplied with a new wifi router however prefer to use a TPLink Archer AX10 (v1.0, 1.2.3 Build 20210809 Rel. 66873(5553)) purchased about 6 weeks ago. However I'm struggling to get this working in Router Mode with the vodafone gateway device. I have setup the VLAN setting to the provided NZ config in the dropdown and setup IPv6 for DHCP (although no idea if correctly). I've tried both static and dynamic for IPv4. It will connect and get an ip address and I'll get a green internet light however the service is terrible. If I turn off IPv6 I can't get a green internet light. Hoping someone else has successfully done this.

Thanks

Delorean

Are you on Fibre or Cable? As I believe the setting for cable are different.

You mean DOCSIS, i.e., cable.

Spark Max Fibre using Mikrotik CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+, CRS125-24G-1S, Unifi UAP, U6-Pro, UAP-AC-M-Pro, Apple TV 4K (2022), Apple TV 4K (2017), iPad Air 1st gen, iPad Air 4th gen, iPhone 13, SkyNZ3151 (the white box). If it doesn't move then it's data cabled.

Setup for docsis3 HFC is identical to Voda in ufb, vlan10 and dhcp.

Don't believe IPv6 is operational on Voda.

Unless cable is different, ipv6 is available. At least on fibre it is.

Maybe try the provided router and take a look at what it’s doing? Then you can copy over the same settings.

As others have said, it should be vlan 10, dhcp.

Define what you mean by "the service is terrible".

Thanks for comments.

I did try copy the settings from the VF provided router. That’s when I saw the DHCP for IPv6 and confirmed the OOTB NZ settings for VLAN.

Example of terrible was stuff loaded but no images would. Never. Also I’d plugged the smart TV into eth port and it couldn’t est an internet connection. No ping test from router diagnostics tool would work either.
