Tp link AX3000

[#1]

Hi guys switching from FTTC to FTTP I’m currently running netgear N600 3700 v2 via a modem , thinking of installing a AX 3000 has anyone used it with FTTP & will it just plug straight into ONT found this set info on amazon

Set up instructions I found
A game
PP changer.Setup wasn't as easy as just
connecting the router for me. I had to get
Sele
my username and password from Vodafone live chat. I then had to go into the router settings and set the internet connection type to PPPoE and then enter the details
User
that Vodafone had given me.You also need to enter the VLAN ID which you can find in Advanced>>Network>>|PTV/WLAN. Set the mode to custom and depending on.co.uk whether you are on the openreach network or the city fibre network you'll need to set
Pass the VLAN ID to either 101 or 911. Also
whilst in the router settings goto wireless and set the 5GHz Channel width to 20/40/80/160MHz.

@JC75 welcome to the forum

You set the WAN to PPPoE using your broadband username and password.

There is NO need for a VLAN as the ONT has that setting

Hi Dan thanks I could just set it up on FTTC then in Same way with modem until FFTP date?

[#5]

It will work provided the modem creates the VLAN101

Not sure about that it’s just a openreach modem with a DSL port & 2 LAN ports , I didn’t have to configure anything different swapping from ASDL to FTTC , just DSL to modem then cat5 to port on netgear gigabit fibre port , so fingers crossed

[#7]

An openreach modem creates the VLAN101 so I doubt you'll need to worry about anything other than setting up the PPPoE broadband username and password on the TP-Link router

Thanks Dan
That would help because all my equipment is neatly mounted , wires run out of the way , I’ve just moved my modem to where I want him to mount the ONT & swapped out the cat5 for a cat6 so when the router arrives I will log in & configure it as you have suggested & change all the wi fi name’s & passwords to mine
Appreciate your help Dan thanks 👍

[#9 · Accepted solution]

If your fibre router is connected to a BT Openreach modem or ONT, here are the settings you'll need. Some of these terms can vary from router to router, but these are the most commonly used.

It asks for:	Use:
Broadband username or login name	yourusername @plusdsl.net
Connection type or encapsulation	PPPoE Always On
Password	The password you use to log in to the My Account

Saves a lot of bother copying over the wireless names

Good luck

Cheers Dan will let you know how I get on

Hi, I have recently started using Plusnet full fibre 300, but found the WiFi signal around the house is poor, so purchased a TP ax3000 router and TP link extender for my office (otherside of house to router). My problem is I can’t get the TP link router to connect to the wall mounted open reach modem. The router just shows an orange light for ‘internet’ connected. I have tried some of the suggestions with the settings above (PPPoE ) but nothing works……maybe I am missing a step somewhere?

Any suggestions how to set this router up to connect? …..thanks (step by step would be great)

[#14]

Have you logged into the router & set it up
Your plusnet username@dsl.net & put wan settings PPPoe?

[#15]

Hi,

I used username@plusdsl.net (as the address given to me when I first signed up), should it not include the ‘plus’ in the address ?

Yes the wan settings were PPPoe, after that’s all set and click the last step it just says no internet and the led stays orange rather than changing to green

(I know all the cables work as when I plug the Plusnet router back in it all works fine)
