Hi Darren,
Many thanks for your video but l couldn't get it work.
Perhaps you or some expert can help me as I am network idiot.
Story goes:
I livein Melbourne at the moment using ADSL2+ connect and I just installed the NBN (National Broadband Network) yesterday.
Everything seems to work until the Miwifi part where it would not connect。
People advised me that I might need to get a router with vlan supported and or try to configure this newly bought Xiaomi Ax3600, hence they directed me to your video.
This is where i am stuck as I do not even know how to connect correctly right at the begining.
This is what is happening:
1. Connect the HFC modem to the router WAN port and connect one of the LAN port to my desktop, is this rorrect?
2. My broadband service provider did not give me any login or password, so I cannot do the PPPoE setup like you have shown in the video.
All the help and advice are very much appreciated.
Many thanks.
You need to enable bridge mode for your HFC cable modem which disables its routing function which basically turns it into just a "modem" that authenticates with your ISP and acquiring a connecting IP address. After that, proceed to connect it to the WAN port of the wireless router.Enable DHCP/Static IP for the WAN settings of your new router instead of using PPPoE.
There is no need for PPPoE authentication here as your NBN cable modem authenticates itself with the ISP network via DHCP assignment.
