Hi Sifus, just bought a new Asus Router RT-AC86U and using Time Fibre 500 mbps. Anyone can give some guidance/tips to setup my new toy? Thanks for the assistance.

I have just signed up a renewal contract with TIME and upgraded to 500mbps package. I thought of getting a vertical type (due to space limiting issue) router, such as Asus RT-AX86U Pro or TP-link Archer BE805. Any sifu here using it now? Any feedback on which one should i take? Furthermore, does the TIME mesh node that comes FOC can be linked to the abovementioned model router?

Go for TP-link Archer BE805. You will need to request the Installer to configure it ONT given to bridge mode, and your Router will perform the PPPOE dialing.

Thanks for your explanation, but it seems too technical for me to understand it. But I will get the installer to do what you have advised me. By the way, currently I'm still using the Huawei Echolife HG8042H GPON Terminal as modem, do i still need to use this Huawei device after installing the TP Link BE805 router? Or the installer will replace a new modem for me? Thanks again for the advice again.
