RAX20 AX1800 configuration with NBN VoiP Modem
Hardware: -Netgear Nighthawk AX1800 (RAX20) Wifi Router -TP-Link Archer VR1600V VoIP Wifi Modem/Router (proprietory firmware by ISP, not supported by TP-Link, not compatibly with TP-Link Tether App...
Your issue isn't the netgear. Its the fact that you can't get the tp-link to function properly in modem only mode.
TP-link/their forum would be the experts on setting up that device in modem only/passthrough mode.
without it, you do end up having 2 routers running on your network. And armor won't function properly like that.
Options?
1. get on the tp-link forum to get help getting their device in modem only/passthrough mode.
2. purchase a modem only device for service.
3. use the tplink as primary router, set the netgear as an access point, and not use netgear armor.
Thanks for that advice.
I gave up using the phone support with TPG as I was always told yes it is possible and I need to speak to Netgear to determine how to do it.
With the help of the TPG Community I discovered that what I wanted to achieve is not possible without some sacrifice, depending on which router was set as the primary router, I could either lose my VoIP functionality (not an option) or my Netgear security functionality (not an option).
To me the next logical path is to look at Netgear products. Does anyone know if any of the Netgear range (preferable Nighthawk as I desire to use the Mobile App) that have Router, Modem AND VoIP capabilities that work on NBN FTTC.
Thanks in advance
