Hi all,

I've just had Quickline FWA installed at my house (UK), they use their own 5G network. They installed the following:

Zyxel NR7101 installed outside
Zyxel EX3301-T0 router inside
POE plug for the NR7101

They said that I can use my own router if I like, but I need to set it to DHCP, MTU 1500, and turn off VLAN. I've tried this and it doesn't work. Though another one of their operators emailed me the following, but I think they are oddly just telling me the settings for their installed Zyxel EX3301-T0 router, which is set to IPoE.

Three horizontal lines top right->Network settings->Broadband->Pen and paper icon far right
General:
-Name & Type is pre selected
-Mode: Routing
-Encapsulation: IPoE
-IPv4/IPv6 Mode: IPv4 Only

VLAN: Disabled
MTU: 1500

IP Address: Select
Obtain an IP Address Automatically

DNS Server: Select
Obtain DNS Info automatically

Routing Feature:
-Enable 3, only Fullcone NAT disabled

6RD: Disabled and

DHCPC Options: Should be blank."

I've hit a bit of a dead end because they have said that I should just make sure the Orbi is set to DHCP, VLAN is off, and the MTU is 1500 (which the orbi won't go as high as this).

Anyone got any idea on what I could try?

I know its possible because someone else has done it:

I'm going to ask them on that forum too, but I thought I would check in here too.

Thanks in advance
