Upgrading to TP-LINK VR600 from BT Smart Hub 2

[CYMRUCHRIS]

Hi all, I'm trying to do the above using quick setup on the TP-LINK VR600 I have selected BT VDSL as provider and username as bthomehub@btbroadband.com and tried the password as blank and bt but no luck.

I saw in a post changing DNS setting in advanced to VDSL2 but that didnt work either, any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Did you set operation mode to DSL modem router mode?

Didn't see that setting just went through quick setup TP-LINK said thatI need to contact BT to get VCI or VPI settings etc? Thanks

Sorry just checked that mode is selected

You appear to have G.Fast, the VR600 is not G.Fast capable.

Thanks for your quick response can you recommend a alternative please?

The ASUS DSL AC88U is G.Fast compatible as is the TP Link AC2800 GC430-G2v be careful with the TP Link there are 2 versions of the AC2800, this one and another https://service-provider.tp-link.com/g-fast/gc430-g2v/
