Yes, is setup by default like that.
Could well be a faulty unit then if DSL light isn't coming on at all.
Are you on G.fast? I don't think the VR2800 supports G.fast - it has a VDSL modem. You would probably need an Asus DSL-AC88U. From the VR2800 specs page:
The Archer VR2800 is compatible with VDSL2, ADSL2+, ADSL2, and ADSL.
I can't find where I saw now, but the VR2800 is supposedly G.Fast compatible.
I had to sent the unit back as yerstady i spent my day trying to get this sorted.
First called TP link support (paid calls) after i have seen that the guide dosen't work i have been forworded to the bt
Called BT then as tp link guy was insisting that the isp login can't be general but bt turned me to they as the login it is general
Called Tp link again and no luck after 40min of trying all sorts of things between rests and reboots, the guy said your unit is faulty as no DSL light come's on send it back.
Started the refund proces on Amazon then i noticed they offer expert help if you want, said ok why not, spent another 45 min with no luck.
At this stage i asked for refund not replace thill i'm 100% that the unit i buy is fully compatible with g.fast so if anyone have a good specs and working 3rd party router that will be amazing
What i need to achive is:
1. custom dns
2.parent control
3. portforword
4. usb 3.0
5. No-IP
6.good range
7.MU-MIMO
8.gigabyte eternet ports
Can anyone have a recomandation of a working solution, atm i'm thinking to buy a modem and a fibre router, could you recomend me what router na modem to buy that will work with this as going on live chat at bt is a joke.
Many Thanks,
John
An short update:
The archer VR2800 is not suporting gfast
The gfast use protocols ITU-T G.9700 , ITU-T G.9701
