ASUS DSL-N14U

Hi, would be grateful if someone could help as Plusnet says they can't provide technical assistance. I prefer very much to use my existing router: ASUS DSL-N14U, it has a usb port and it fits well in the contorted space of which now the plusnet router and its adaptor does not fit well. 

 

Currently reviewing the info: https://icr-am.asus.com/webchat/icr.html?rootTreeId=AM.US.EN-US&treeId=AM.US.EN-US&tenantId=EN-US&_g...

 

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Re: ASUS DSL-N14U

You're not trying to use 2 routers at once are you?
Just follow the set up wizard on your preferred router, using log in details/ configuration
as will have been sent to you by PN, when you joined.

Re: ASUS DSL-N14U

Nopes I'm not trying to use both routers at the same time.

Have tried using the quick setup hoping it'll work but it still won't grant me access.

 

No issues with Plusnet connection though, current have no choice to use Plusnet router until I have time later to try again with the Asus router.

 

Looking at this: https://www.plus.net/help/broadband/broadband-connection-settings/#what-settings-should-i-use-for-st....

 

But I don't see where within the Asus dashboard I can amend these settings.

Re: ASUS DSL-N14U

You do realise that the DSL-14U doesn't support FTTC?

No, what is that? Fibre to the cabinet? I don’t have fibre only broadband.

First thing to check , is the ADSL light on ?

Then the quick setup ought to ask you for username and password.

If that doesnt work then my guess ( the manual is rubbish!) would be that the settings should be under advanced settings, WAN

Re: ASUS DSL-N14U

Yes - I change the Wifi Network and Password to Plusnet's, it reconises the connection but it won't give me access.

Yes- have tried the quick setup after doing the above, same outcome.

Advanced settings, yes thinking to review https://icr-am.asus.com/webchat/icr.html?rootTreeId=AM.US.EN-US&treeId=AM.US.EN-US&tenantId=EN-US&_g... and cross check the advanced settings.
