Changing Router

[#1]

I am thinking about changing the default router to one of these

Or

Can I get some help on if these would be compatible, unsure if they are.

[#2]

They are only suitable for FTTP, connect to the ONT, not FTTC.

As long as you can set the VLAN to 0 or blank and add your PN credentials they should work

[#3]

They are only suitable for FTTP, connect to the ONT, not FTTC.

Why would you think that?

The ONT can be seen as a modem, so provided with part Fibre (FTTC/SoGEA) you use a modem with the routers WAN setup for PPPoE it will work.

I have used the TP-Link AX53 successfully with FTTC using Hub Two in bridge mode

Edit added PPPoE config details

PPPoE account details
Broadband username or login name	yourusername@plusdsl.net
Connection type or encapsulation	PPPoE Always On
Password	The password you use to log in to the My Account

Because the OP stated that they would be changing the default router.

They have not stated what service they are on so I assumed FTTP as these do not have a ASDL socket

[#5]

I agree the OP did not state what type of router,  for some router is a generic term so it could mean a router only device or combined modem/router.

I was filling in the gaps of your post.

To further clarify this

The hub 2 has a broadband port, phone port and 4 1 Gig ethernet ports


The broadband port, phone port are unused.

[#7]

To clarify further, are you on an FTTP or FTTC  connection?

[#8]

I believe fttp, as I have the Full Fibre 500 package.

[#9]

In that case either of your choices will work, depends on how much you want to spend.

I've previously posted the necessary setting.

[#10]

Will update once this arrives. Thanks all for you help.

I have the BE550 and can honestly say it's a great piece of kit - I have FTTP 900, running Ethernet with my gaming pc at 2.5GB (yes I know plusnet don't offer above gig... yet hopefully 🤞) and a few devices running on Wi-Fi 7 alongside 6E - Never experienced any slowdowns and the router hasn't given me any issues since I purchased it

Deffo a steal at £200 - purchased mine a few months ago for £300 but can't complain at that price especially for what you get with it.

[#12]

If you can set it to 0 I don't know how. Every time I try this appears.

Enter a value between 2 and 4094.

[#13]

@grundy2 is there a separate option to 'disable' VLAN ID ?

[#14]

No there is not.

I can either enable or disable IPTV/VLAN but that is it. If I emable it I cannot disable the VLAN ID

[#15]

In that case I suggest you disable IPTV/VLAN
