Archer VX1800v - Now broadband woes
TL:DR: please send help before it gets yeeted 😂🫣
Tplink VX1800V (VDSL/ADSL Modem Router)
Is it possible to replace the standard kit supplied for this model I have?
I need the extra ports and extra features.
saying in the specs it supports MER\IPoE (RFC 1483 Routed) - but can’t find it in the options.
Thankyou 🙂
one thing I should have mentioned is I have fibre to the cabinet, with a openreach built in spilter box for the dsl connection.
Had another crack at this today, unfortunately no joy. Just can’t seem to get it to authenticate. And have the dreaded orange light on internet connection.
I’ll give tplink support another go and report back if I have any success. I may keep the device just incase I decide to switch providers in the future. But it seems Sky/Now make it tricky on purpose.
The customer service for Now was very dismissive and basically said, it’s your responsibility to sort it out. 👍🫣
I’m still in a cooling off period with them, so tempted just to cancel and go elsewhere to be honest.
tplink agent said I need to contact Now directly to double check the authentication details.
i was told to enter:
PPPoE (not MER)
username: abcdefgh@skydsl
password: 1234567890abcdef
oh I’m having fun 🤩 🫣😂
