VR600 modem only
I have a VR600 modem router and wanted to purchase the AX1500 Wi-Fi 6 Router to use instead of the VR600 for the router functions and use the VR600 just at the modem only to connect to my ISP TalkTalk. I would prefer to use the VR600 as the modem as the connection with the FTTC has been stable with very few disconnections which I think the Broadcom chipset helps.
Does anyone know if this is possible to have the VR600 as a Modem only? My fibre broadband is with TalkTalk and this is the current setup;
Internet Connection Setup
DSL Modulation Type: VDSL
VLAN ID: 101
Internet Connection Type: Dynamic IP
IPv4: Enable
IP Address:
Subnet Mask: 255.255.240.0
Gateway:
Default Gateway:
ipoe_ptm_101_0_d
The only possible way I could think of by looking at the VR600 was to have the WIFI and DHCP turned off on the VR600 and connect a cat6 cable into the VR600 WAN port to the AX1500 Wi-Fi 6 Router but wasn’t sure with the DHCP off on the VR600 if that would assign a single IP address for AX1500 Wi-Fi 6 Router?
I wouldn’t want to have the AX1500 Wi-Fi 6 Router in AP mode as this would defeat the point of the router assigning IP addresses and amending QOS plus other features on the AX1500.
As advice or guidance would be great?
Thanks
