Hi @jchamp1281 . You have to set VLAN ID=2. Location of setting varies between routers. Also, add @tpg.com.au to username.

Hi @jchamp1281 

 

Welcome to the Community!

 

We were able to locate your account using your community details and it shows that you are under the previous plan which we provide a free modem/router.

 

If you are going to use a third party modem/router, then you need to set the VLAN ID to 2.

 

Let me know if you need further assistance.

Please send me a PM with your preferred time and best number to be contacted by our Tech team to check on the setup further.

@jchamp1281 . The TP-Link Archer C1200 was/is the TPG supplied router for FTTP but should still work for you. But your screen layouts look different from the manual.

Are all 4 lights lit on the black NBN box?

Looking at the VLAN screen, you could try enabling IPTV. Some routers have VLAN settings in the IPTV section. Even though you have set VLAN ID, it might not be active.
