Nice piece of work. Can't quite get my head around it to do it on TP-link router AX50
Worry ye not! It's nowhere near as complicated as that solution.
I'm grateful to Liquorice for posting the external link, it's something I wish he'd made available 20 pages back.
The good news is that there are several detailed success stories on this thread if you can be bothered to scroll backward far enough. Good also is that IIRC they don't need anything as complicated as running a Raspberry Pi/Linux server on the same network.
I can't be certain if any of the simpler solutions reference TP Link, but they are certainly not all Asus. Just get a cup of coffee, scroll back through the thread and bookmark any posts that look promising.
I've made a simpler version work with SH2 and my own Asus RT-AX88U router in preparation for the supposedly inevitable day when BT kill my copper line and stick DV up my nose.
But instead of that, BT kindly pulled me a new, replacement copper line alongside the FTTP when my original copper line failed somewhere between me and the exchange 3 miles away. I can't be complementary enough about the BT technical team or the (3rd) engineer who arrived at my door. It's amazing what you can get sorted if you speak nicely to someone who isn't a call centre drone, explain what you need and why you need it.
I'd already put the SH2 in a bin bag under the stairs, hopefully to rot. I fully expect to be out of BT contract and (only if absolutely necessary) moved to a VoiP solution with another provider by the time I would ever have to use the SH2 again.
Come to think of it, I'm glad we didn't get the external web link at the time, because I'd have been pulling my hair out trying to implement that particular solution. Even though I didn't need it, I only persevered with the simpler setup because Liquorice was insisting it was impossible or infeasible and that the aformentioned DV was on a planned timescale that I could not deny or avoid.
