Router help!

[Darkshadowhaxor]

Okay so. I have a problem. I have a TP-Link c20i. It supports my Fibre optic... Only problem though is my connection comes though ADSL, and the router only has a WAN in. Is there a solution to this rather than using a ADSL router a modem like I am currently?

I've tried plugging the ADSL into the wan port directly, it clicks in but the router doesn't receive any connection

Could you use the isp box and connect your own router for the network?

ISP box? I only received a shitty adsl router. That is what I use as a make-shift modem

most ADSL routers can be put into bridge mode

 

what model is it?

I have the crappy ISP router as a form of modem. into a decent router. Problem is I don't want to have the crappy isp router as a modem. I Just want a direct connection into my decent router

the tplink doesn't support ADSL input, you will still need to use an ADSL modem 

 

your Fibre optic internet isn't delivered over fibre, but copper from the Telecom companies local node

 

Up here, Bell advertises DSL as FIBE, and telus advertises their DSL as OPTIK

 

if we know what model you are using, then we might be able to help If your connection is bonded, however, you may be forced to use the ISP provided modem

I doubt its bonded. I live in the UK and I use Plusnet / BT / Openreach

@Darkshadowhaxor most likely its VDSL2

 

what speeds do you get?

definitely not ADSL....thats VDSL

 

I'd recommend something like the smartrg 501 

 

IT should do the trick and is just a modem, I'm not sure if BT is using PPPoE or just regular DHCP for their VDSL connections, so it might be plug and play, or you may have to call in to get login credentials

Oh. Thanks for enlightening me on my connection format and the suggestion. I shall look at it shortly! Thanks

Would this work?

should do, not 100% sure if it supports VDSL vectoring, for noise reduction, but if you are close to the node, you should have no issues
