GL.iNet Beryl AX 3000

[#1]

Can someone tell me if it's possible to use the above router with PlusNet as I would like to have a VPN for the whole family. Thank you.

@BrianD1  which Plusnet product do you have ?

[#3]

Thank you for getting back to me. Plusnet Hub Two Smart Hub..

That's not what I meant, I was asking which broadband product do you have ?

Is it Fibre to the cabinet i.e it uses your copper telephone line to the local FTTC cabinet OR is is Full Fibre where the Fibre cable is direct to your house ?

In principle you can use that router, however If your product is Fibre, you will need to connect the Smart Hub 2 to the phone line , set it in 'bridge mode' and connect the AX3000 to the Smart Hub 2.

If your product is Full Fibre, you can connect the Ax3000 directly to the ONT.

in either case , you will need to configure the AX3000 internet connection as PPPoE and input your Plusnet username & password

Sorry. It is Fibre to the cabinet i.e it uses your copper telephone line to the local FTTC cabinet ..

Thanks, our posts crossed.

SO as above, you configure the Hub 2 in bridge mode and connect the AX3000 using an ethernet cable to the Hub 2.

Thank you. I'll google that to find out what it means but at least I know it will work. Thank you for your prompt answers MisterW!

Please be aware that when the Hub 2 is in bridge mode, it is effectively just a modem. You will not be able to use its wireless functionality or any of the LAN ports (other than the one connecting to the AX3000)
