As expected Vodafone email relaying is DENIED on a TPG platform. A few well accepted reasons for that. The "mail.tpg.com.au" email server receiving SMTP traffic WILL ONLY RELAY TPG customers .....with a @TPG.com.au TLD. HOWEVER if A Vodafone product is a PART of the TPG OFFERING (ie Mobile Broadband) ...That restriction SHOULD THEN NOT APPLY!!! ...BUT that restriction does apply. One evidence is that a xxx@tpg.com.au email acct Also cannot AUTHENTICATE on Port 22 , Port 587, or Port 465 FROM a Mobile broadband connection to the mail.tpg.com.au server. AFAIK A disclaimer to the fact that the two products do not behave as expected is not made by TPG sales advertising. AGAIN: An email acct (xxxxxx@tpg.com.au) can (Email) relay outside of the TPG mail server to another email server. Where as a (xxxxx@abc.xx.xx) ie Non email acct CAN NOT. Again ....if the (xxxxxx@tpg.com.au) wants to relay thru TPG from the TPG product it should able to .......BUT not the case for the Mobile broadband product ..(which happens to be on the Vodafone network).   ...

Some TPG experts says **YES** ...Some TPG experts says **NO** ... to bridge mode working. Maybe Modem (vr1600v) version V1 works but V2 doesn't. Agreed ...Bridge mode prevents phone from working! --------------------- Perhaps ONLY the setting using **EWAN** works! BUT BUT BUT ... This link Suggesting it is possible Suggesting it is possible Suggesting it is possible Pls investigate. Here is a **SOLVED** solution ==> https://community.tpg.com.au/t5/Modems-and-Devices/How-to-set-up-a-bridge-on-archer-vr1600v/td-p/1640/page/2   advanced/network/dsl ... Using Vlan channel 2 on VDL2 setting in bridge mode NEVER syncs/connects (The DSL light is NEVER permanently on.) But first of all I'm not getting a internet connection ....simply says "DSL disconnected". I expect a DSL connection even before PPPOE authorization succeeds.. However , I don't expect the internet light to be on however in bridge mode PS. I have discovered the login does NOT needs to be "abcde@tpg.com.au" but simply "abcde" Also ...does anyone know if the (NBN connection box) is compatible for this. It always has 4 lights permanently on whether there is an internet connection on a working device or not. ... View more
