Hi all,

Currently have following setup (image attached). I'd like to replace the provided router with my ASUS ac87u router to remove a double NAT scernaio with both routers trying to NAT traffic. As I currently have my ASUS router branch off one of the ports of the provided huawei router.

I have tried simply replacing the router but I am unable to get internet to function. Im guessing there are settings I will need to copy over to my ASUS router. Does anyone know what these are?

 

Thanks in advance!

Just had to add in the PPOE settings and fill in TPG username and settings! 

Thanks!

Hi RED_ALERT,

 

The general settings for TPG's NBN HFC are posted in our support page: 

https://www.tpg.com.au/support/nbn/generalsetting

 

Additionally, you may have to set WAN VLAN ID to 2.

 

(Please be advised we don't support troubleshooting third party devices, although I am sure other customers and Community members may be able to give you some advice about it.)

Hi MarN

 

Thanks for the advice!

I have been scouring whirlpool forums but cant seem to find an exact guide on setting up TPG on RT-AC87U with NBN. I will give the VLAN ID setting a try tonight and let you know how I go.

Cheers!

It's a bit of a late reply, but it might help someone else:
