Hi there is no "modern" required for fibre just a router. Technically the chorus ONT is the "modem"

Your own router, Ero pro should work assuming it supports vlan10 on the Wan. Vodafone just use dhcp on that tagged frame.

The documentation says the Eero Pro 6 supports VLAN tagging. That's why I asked what is your connection. As mentioned, plug directly into your ONT. Configure VLAN, username and password if your ISP requires any of these.

If you’re Vodafone - VLAN 10 with DHCP is all that’s required.

Reading all the notes on the support page, seems it only supports StaticIP on the WAN, it clearly states it does not support PPPoE, and seems to imply no DHCP either, ..................bit lame.
