Solution Archer VX1800v Cannot Connect to Sky Broadband (UK) or NowTV MER Line
This Article Applies to:
Archer VX1800v V1
Phenomenon Description:
When connecting the Archer VX1800v to Sky Broadband (UK) or NowTV MER line and configuring it through the web interface, the "Sky(MER)_VDSL" option is missing from the Quick Setup ISP list. If you select "Other" and configure it, it does not work.
When configuring it through the Tether App, the "Sky(MER)_VDSL" option is available, but there is no option to add a username and password, resulting in no connection.
Workaround:
If you are experiencing the same issue, please try installing the beta firmware below for the Archer VX1800v.
You can download the firmware from the following link: Archer VX1800v_V1_240326
Note: Please be sure you have read the Terms and Conditions for TP-Link Beta Firmware before proceeding.
After installing the firmware, please configure the router using the web interface. Select the ISP "Sky (MER)_VDSL" option and proceed with the setup.
Please note that the current beta firmware does not support Sky MER configuration through the Tether App.
Once the configuration is complete, test if the router functions properly with the new firmware. If you encounter any further issues or require additional assistance, please let us know.
