Archer AX50 no internet access with fibre ONT
Hi, I have recently had fibre installed and my ISP provided a Netcomm NF18ACV. This works OK, apart from having very poor Wifi range. The Netcomm connects to the internet WAN using IPOE with no MAC address.
So I purchased a TP-Link Archer AX50 in the belief that it would have superior Wifi performance. Sure enough it does have good Wifi performance BUT will not connect to the internet when its WAN port is connected to the fibre ONT. The AX50 does not appear to have an IPOE connection mode.
However, I have got it to work by interposing an old Netcomm NF15ACV modem operating in VDSL Bridge mode between the ONT and the AX50, with the AX50 configured in dynamic IP mode.
It seems odd to say the least that the AX50 cannot be configured to operate in IPOE mode.
