Replacing BT Smart hub 2 with Asus DSL-ax82u

[bonesetter]

I'm replacing the BT smart hub 2 with Asus DSL-AX82U and would like to know the installation and setup procedure. Have BT Fibre 2, FTTC. Also can I rename the Asus Mode/router to same as the BT hub to avoid changing all the wireless items?

If on VDSLx

Connection Type: PPPoE

Username: bthomehub@btinternet.com

Password: BT or blank

VLAN ID/Tag: 101

You should be able to change SSID and WiFi password to that of the hub to avoid changing all your WiFi devices

All as posted previously countless times on the forum, which a briefest of searches would have revealed.

I thought I would get a reply with a wiff of sarcasm

No sarcasm, I just get fed up with people that can't be bothered to search before posting the question that has been asked a thousand times before. In the days of Usenet you would have been flamed to death!!

FYI my question in this forum is part of my search in replacing my BT smart hub 2 and an attempt to educate myself  before plugging it in and see what happens. If you don't like me asking this question on this public forum and feel the need to reply in the manner you have may I suggest you refrain from contributing as you wish to be completely negative instead of being positive and helping me in my search.

In turn, I suggest you follow etiquette and search before posting.

You are out of order with your comments

Please keep it friendly guys.

@jac_95 has posted the solution so I'll mark this as solved and will lock the thread.
