WAN cable unplugged - Router issue?

[mickmahony1]

Hi. I recently moved address, from a house with FTTP to a unit, which I believe is FTTN. I was with TPG and have stayed with TPG.

While creating my new account, I was told I could reuse my router (Archer C1200), so I was put on a BYO plan. My router is showing me a WAN cable unplugged error, despite the opposite. Some frustrating research has led me to believe my router isn't what I need, but in fact a modem/router or similar? Can someone please advise.

Thanks.

Hi @mickmahony1

Welcome to the Community!

The ARC1200 will not work with your NBN FTTN service as it is a router only device. You are correct that you need a VDSL modem/router.

Since you are under the BYO plan, you have the option to purchase a third party modem/router or purchase a new one with us.
