Anyone managed to get Asus RT-AX3000 router running on 2 degrees fibre? All the advice in forums is a few years old and contrary to what 2 degrees say.

 

I have tried to follow 2 degrees advice on BYO routers

 

  • WAN Connection Type: DHCP (Automatic IP/Dynamic IP/IP over Ethernet)
  • 802.1Q: Enabled
  • VLAN ID (802.1Q): 10
  • 802.1P (Priority): 0
  • IP Version: IPv4 or IPv6
  • MTU Size: 1492 or 1500
  • NAT: Enabled
  • NAT: Enabled

and "DHCP authentication and VLAN tagging"

 

 

 

The error the router stated is related to DHCP and I am not sure whether the requirements for authentication are DHCP protocol related or username/password ( I never got any instruction regarding username/password) on the router. Also I can't find the VLAN tagging - I assume VLAN ID 10 is the tag. The MTU option only seems to be available with a different connection protocol. 

 

Anyway I have ordered the 2 degrees router Netgear Obis ( no charge as I am on 12 month contract anyway) and it should be here tomorrow but I would like to get the AX3000 working giving me two choices of router. 

 

This maybe all moot as I have now realised I need a static address (which I have ordered) so DCHP would not be used I assume but I am still interested if anyone is using AX3000 and how they have configured it.

 

 

 

Thanks

I got it working!!!!

 

 

 

All I did different was go to LAN IPTV and select 2 degrees from the dropdown menu - reboot and it connected. There was no option for VLAN ID

 

 

 

Selected DHCP as the protocol for Internet (as I did before) so it was the LAN IPTV change that made it work.

 

 

 

OOKla shows 888 DL and 279 upload. The upload seem a bit slow I was expecting 450

 

 

 

Thanks for the info re IPTV. I was put off by it being in the LAN tab

 

 

 

Strangely enough logging back into the modem after it connected it stated that there is an invalid account or password but the connection works. I had selected 802.1x for the Authentication under the Account tab and entered my two degrees customer number (not my user name) and password ( no instructions from 2 degrees). Either using my customer number or email when I log into 2 degree account seems to work. 

 

The network display on the router keeps stating invalid account or password but the connection is still up. I am confused but happy its connected.

 

Update- Turn off the account tab and authentication to None and I not longer get the error just the IP address display.

 

 

 

Happy camper!!!!
