Centrylink fiber

I recently had Centrylink fiber installed (Arizona) and, if possible, would like to remove the Centrylink provided model/router and go directly from the ONT to my Orbi router.

 

I understand Orbi supports VLAN tab (I see it in the configuration settings) and i have my ISP provided PPPoE but can’t seem to get it working.  Looking for specific Orbi settings to support this scenario or confirmation it is not supported.

 

thanks for your help

      Thanks Darren, appreciate it. After trial and error, I believe the Orbi router doesn’t currently support this configuration. PPPoE username and password looks ok but I think the issue is the Orbi doesn’t allow a change/edit of the “Internet in port” VLAN tagging ID change from 10 to 201.

       

      I’ll next try a managed switch to see if the VLAN ID issue can be satisfied.
