Deco M5 with DHCP Option 61 in Router mode
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hi, I want to use a Vigor 130 modem on Sky FTTC (UK) with the Deco M5 as the router. However when I connect these up, with the modem setup correctly (probably) in bridge mode, I don't get an IP address from Sky.
It's difficult to debug when it's in this state, but I suspect its because Option 61 is not supported by the Deco router? Anyone have this configuration running?
I currently have the Deco connected to the Sky router in AP mode - this works OK, but you cannot set the Sky router into bridge mode and therefore cannot use Deco as a router without double NAT (and that seems to break most IOT kit - certainly Google hubs, nest cameras and echo dot).
(You may ask why...
--- I want the Deco management features like parental control and AV, which you don't get with Sky
--- the Vigor 130 provides better DSL connection parameters, the line synchronises at the same DS and 30% improvement US - which is really worth having)
