    Hi

    I currently have ADSL - and use a modem in bridging mode to feed an Asus RT-3200 router. The reasons are 1) Great Coverage 2) Router has VPN installed (openvpn) 3) High Speed internally.

    I have just signed up to FTTH - due for install 16 Feb. I added the TV pack (but am not wedded to it as I have Freeview & Freesat)...and ASUS / VPN is my priority.

    How can I continue to use my Asus and the VPN. Will TV pack be affected if I bridge ?

    Has anybody used the F2000 in bridging mode or used a VPN on FTTH to an Asus with success? Any step by step guidelines ?

    Regards

    Sean

    See this thread, firmware should be quite similar.

    One of the Asus units definitely has ITPV support, IIRC the menu is buried in a subpage not in the WAN section. Set VLAN ten and ensure multicast traffic is allowed and the TV could work. Havent tested it.

    Thanks for the info.
    I checked and my Asus RT-3200 - which is flashed with Asuswrt-Merlin 380.63 - does have a LAN - IPTV page of settings.
    Will IPTV work even throught the VPN ?
    Thx Sean

    Sean, did you figure out how to use your Asus to bypass EIR's device for FTTH?

    I'm glad I found this discussion!

    I went through the steps on boards.ie and a few other sources. But, I messed up something. After following the below steps, 1-2 devices got 500mbps+ internet, whereas the rest of my Wi-Fi devices had <1mbps internet. Web browsing was super fast on 1-2 devices and didn't work on smart speakers and other devices. The outcome surprised me. Maybe I did something wrong on the way.

    I'm writing things down here. Could you please help me understand what are the steps involved?

    Equipment:

    1. EIR sagemon router F3000 Swan fibre box F5366s
    2. Asus Zenwifi ET12 (AXE11000)
    3. Huwaei ONT box

    Steps I should do (and I did, approximately), in my understanding:

    1. ONT output ethernet cable should become input to asus WAN port.
    2. asus settings: in WAN settings > internet connection tab> enable 802.1Q 'yes'.
    3. VLAN ID = 10
    4. 802.1P = 0. already was 0.
    5. MTU = 1500.
    6. No change to: WAN connection type is already 'automatic IP'. WAN, NAT, UPnP all enabled. connect to DNS server automatically. TTL value extend/spoof no. DHCP query frequency aggressive. host name blank. MAC address spoofing blank.
    7. This restarts the Asus router.
    8. Asus settings: in LAN settings > IPTV tab > select ISP profile = Manual Setting.
    9. Internet VID = 10. PRIO = 0.
    10. This restarts the Asus router.
    11. No other changes.
    12. No need to reboot ONT.

    Other options I assume we do not do:

    1. Not: Create a WAN profile in the WAN settings page -> internet connection tab. instead edit in the boxes directly.
    2. Not: edit the settings in LAN page -> VLAN tab.
