I was so sick and tired of Vodafone's given router (Huawei HG659) and got myself an Asus RT-AC58U today.
While getting things wired and connected, I realised that it just does not work...!!
On the router's internet page (router.asus.com/index.asp) it only says under internet status: Your ISP's DHCP does not function properly.
When I click on the error message, it gets me to the internet connections configuration part where I choose that out internet connection type is Automatic IP. Then it says to turn off my modem (which I think it's referring to the ONT) and turn on again to re-detect the router or modem. But this fails and gets me back to the internet connections configurations page, restarting the endless loop of failure.
From what I can see, these are some issues I saw.
First of all, a phone cable (image 1) cannot be connected to the new router. The phone cable off our wall used to be connected to the DSL plug on the Huawei modem. But the new router does not have the socked for this phone jack to be inserted to..!!
Secondly, I previously tried Linksys Cisco's AC1900 router to replace this Huawei router, but have failed then too. I tried calling the Vodafone and Linksys, but they could not figure out what the problem was. So I had to refund that modem. Maybe Vodafone's fibre only works with this Huawei router? I dearly hope not, because this modem just sucks.
Please help this lost child in getting the internet back without having to refund my new modem.
If any more info is required, I will provide. Please please help, we just cannot live with this Huawei modem any longer!
God bless and thank you in advance!
