Just got upgraded to 200Mb plan with Vodafone.

Great having extra speed but not so thrilled with the HG659 that came with it.

Before I waste even more of my evening, has anyone successfully managed to configure an LT2P connection on it? eg. to Getflix ?

I got one from BigPipe, but it's in a courier bag on the way back to them. It is weak in other areas too.

There isn't anything wrong with the HG659 router... It is a consumer grade router fine for many people.

I've got to ask why would you even want to do this? I can't think of a single use case for a consumer to do this on their router. Your endpoints (PC for example) can use LT2P if required.

So that can use VPN with Amazon Fire TV, Kodi etc.

Why pay to send it back?? I binned my Spark one.

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.
