Have I made a schoolboy error??
Region : UnitedKingdom
Model : TL-ER5120
Hardware Version : V1
Firmware Version :
ISP : Virgin Media
Hi all, my first post.
I took delivery of a TL-ER5120 yesterday as I've had enough of the Virgin Media SuperHub - it's rubbish.
I disconnected the SH from my switch (thereby isolating the LAN) and installed the 5120 to act as my DHCP router. All good - all devices in the LAN can talk to each other.
I then switched the SH in to 'modem only' mode and could see (by directly connecting my laptop) that it was talking to the WAN. Good.
Lastly I connected the 5120 to the SH via WAN port 1, and this is where the problem lies. The 5120 was not able to establish a WAN connection.
Which leads me to my schoolboy error question - Is the 5120 a cable router or an ADSL router ?? :blush:
Thanks for your help.
