I followed the prompts but VLAN Id would not accept 2 - said that i was already taken.

Hi @mooneydan1,

 

We had encountered the same issue before, connecting 3rd party router using our supplied modem/router and it actually work by changing the router's connection mode to "DHCP mode"
 

You can visit this link for reference. Connect Asus RT-AC88U to Huawei HG659.

 

Let us know how it will go and should you require further assistancec.

Hi 

 

Thanks for the reference.

 

Do you have a reference for connecting the vr1600v to a netgear third party router?

Hi @mooneydan1

 

 

You may check the response from @JovermarL. (Check this link)

The VR1600v to Netgear router should work with the given instruction as well.
