do you need a modem to access the internet with an RAX50?
everything else working but wont pick up the interset from a connection that works perfect for another free router that came with the fibre order, diagram says it needs a cable modem before the fibre...

Perhaps the thing to try is the Mac spoofing which I can’t seem to emulate? Do you know how to do that when the Router is a petal of the daisy, maybe best to get W router for another £100..;-(

You seem to have arrived at your idea of a solution without understanding how your ISP's system works.
I see no suggestion that this has anything to do with how TalkTalk runs its network. That term just does not appear on its community site
Home - TalkTalk Help & Support
Then again, as an ex TalkTalk customer, this does not surprise me. It has always struck me as the worst ISP in the UK, one-time home of (Baroness) Typhoid Dido (Harding).
What makes you think it will work for you?
I still have no idea what your TalkTalk Internet service is (cable, VDSL, fibre) or what the first box out of the wall you have.
