AOP to UTP?

[denzelULT]

Hi everyone,

 

I am trying to upgrade my standard ISP modem to a TPLInk Archer Router (ISP modem doesn't allow me to turn off DHCP on it or set a DNS server (from a local ip).

 

However, I have an AOP(?) coming out of my wall. One of the coax cables plugs into my ISP's modem, my TPLink router doesn't have coax support but has a WAN port.

 

Would a simple coax to UTP splitter be fine? I can then hook it up to the WAN port on my tplink.

 

I'm not quite sure if the ISP's modem is actually required to establish a connection with the ISP(maybe some type of authentication thing?) I'm not too versed in the hardware department yet.

You can not simply convert a DOCSIS signal to DSL or ethernet. You will always require a docsis modem for this.

 

Do you live in Germany? You wrote "kabels", which makes me thing you're in Germany and your cable provider is Vodafone.

Ah, I see, close enough.  

 

In Germany we only have one manufacturer selling replacement routers/modems to private customers, which is AVM.

They sell the AVM FRITZ!Box 6660 Cable, AVM FRITZ!Box 6591 Cable and AVM FRITZ!Box 6690 Cable, all of which support up to EuroDOCSIS 3.1.

 

Maybe one of those could be an alternative to the TP-Link. However, I'm not sure whether they have a Dutch language package on board and whether they are supported in the Netherlands.

 

Either way, you might also be able to find different models and as long as they support EuroDOCSIS 3.0 or higher you should be good to go. But you might also need to contact your ISP and register the new modem with them before you can use it. Might be worth talking to them beforehand.

The Fritzboxes do work here, my friend has one too. After some more digging I also came to the conclusion I should get one of these.

I'll have a chat with them to see if I need their assistance in registering the new modem, thank you!
