Setting VR1600 as modem and Tp-Link AX6000 as router

[Marc10]

Hi!

I purchased TP-Link AX6000 wifi router to extend the wifi coverage.  

I would like to ask if it's possible to make the VR1600 as modem only and use the AX6000 as wireless router? I saw this post:

On the "Advance Tab"

1.) Select on "Network"

2.) Click on "DSL"

3.) Then click on "+Add" to create a new connection

4.) Make sure to select on "VDSL"

5.) Look for "Bridge" on the "Internet Connection Type"

6.) "Enable" the VLAN ID

7.) VLAN ID should be "2"

8.) Lastly, "Save" the changes

But I can't set VLAN ID to "2" because I already have that VLAN ID.  Kindly check the screen shot attached.

Hope you can help.

Thanks,

Marc

Hi @Marc10 ,

Thansk for raising this to us. Here are some existing thread that you may find helpful about using a 3rd party router as an extension.

• Are the Tpg routers DHCP compatible? 
• TP-Link VR1600v DHCP Fails 
• Using second router as Wifi extender 

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