Replace my TP_Link VR2800 with another one

Hi all,

Recently, my TP_Link VR2800 stopped working, and I am currently awaiting delivery of a second hand replacement of the same model.

Unfortunately, I don't have a backup file for the original setup. Can anyone here please advise the easiest way to remake my FTTC connection? 

 

Thanks

Keith

@Hector99 

After a factory reset I would use the 'Quick setup' option to set it up. Make sure you have the DSL cable connected before you start.

Your broadband user name is youraccountname@plusdsl.net using the same password as the members centre

See https://www.tp-link.com/uk/support/download/archer-vr2800/  for more help

A footnote to my previous post, for FTTC/VDSL you need make sure VLAN 101 is configured when setting up the DSL connection

I am not sure if that is an option when using 'Quick setup' if NOT navigate from the home page
