Trying to setup Nighthawk RAX70 to NBN HFC

SOLVED Go to solution

I have tried setting it up for PPoE (username/password) and enable VLAN tag group with ID=2 (I have bundled phone) but can't seem to connect.

What I have noticed is
- connected from NBN box to the WAN port on the RAX70
- VLAN group wants to add any of the 4 LAN ports or WiFi, no mention of the WAN port, tried adding different ports no impact

So question is it possible to connect the RAX70 to the NBN HFC box and do I use the WAN port or one of the LAN ports and what other settings are needed if any ?

 

Any ideas appreciated.

Jimmy

Hi @jimmylad .  Is the RAX replacing esisting working router?

Have a look here. It worked for RAX80 and RAX30.

The RAX WAN port connects to NBN box.

Wow thanks, that worked.

So by editing the exisitng VLAN=10 entry to VLAN=2, then clicking 'apply', then going back in and doing 'apply' again it works.

Weird Netgear bug, but happy now :-)
