Hi everyone

I just bought the Huawei Wifi AX3 to replace the crappy old Netis router from TM because it's just too weak. However, the new router doesn't come with the DSL port which the old router does in order to get connection, am I supposed to get a converter to connect the DSL cable to the WAN port of the new router?

Thank you. smile.gif

You will need to maintain the NETIS as the modem or use any VDSL modem.

You cant just convert the RJ11 to RJ45 port.

I see, if I'm gonna be using the NETIS as the modem, I'm also supposed to plug the existing LAN cable from the NETIS to the WAN port of the Huawei router right?

Sorry if it's a dumb question, never changed routers on my own before. sweat.gif

Yup. From the LAN port of the NETIS to the WAN port of the new router you bought.
