Hi @Jack2316 

Welcome to the Community!

You may configure your third party device as an access point in order for you to use the Phone service with your TP-Link modem/router.

You may check the previous threads that will give you an idea on what to do. Check these links:

• VR1600v to VR1600v access point
• Archer vr1600v as access point

You may also check the manual or contact ASUS support for further assistance.

Cheers!

Hello BasilDV thanks for your reply. once i get the NBN installed next week i will give it a crack. 

So if i change my DSL-AC68U to access point is there anything i need to do to the VR1600V to make it work?

Hello. Sorry furthermore to above question so does that mean i leave the VR1600 settings as is when delivered to me and just put DSLAC68U to Access point only 

or do i need to change the VR1600V to bridge mode and DSL to access point for it to work but i heard VOIP will not work if bridged? 

Any assistance will be appreciated. thanks

Hi @Jack2316 

You don't need to change any settings on your VR1600v modem/router.

The ASUS will need to set as an access point and should be connected to the LAN port of the TP-Link.
