Help!

Just bought a TP-Link Archer AX-72 to use on Spark Fibre. The old router is working fine but when I swapped to Archer AX-72, I’m unable to connect to internet. Contacted Spark and TP-Link but still in vain. Followed the instructions given by the Spark and TP-Link but the internet light is still orange.

Anyone has previous experience with this or have an easy way on how to resolve this? Thanks a lot.

Perhaps post the settings as you have configured it?

Been asked to try PPPoE with credentials and also Dynamic IP as well but none worked. Also changed MTU size to 1492.

and note the section where vlan tag is set.





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.
