RAX50 & Option61

Good afternoon,

Can I ask if Option61 for the use with Sky FTTC exists for this router? If so where will I find it within the settings?

Cheers...

Edit: Apologies as this should be in the Nighthawk thread..

      Thanks for your reply. I've already investigated that link and noted it was just over a year old but did include both the RAX40 and the RAX80, hence my question.

      I understand the RAX50 isn't a DSL version but other manufacturers routers do support option 61 so a DSL modem can be connected to them with the router authenticating the FTTC connection.

        The user manual for the RAX50 does not mention DHCP Option 60 or Option 61, just as the user manual for my Orbi RBR50 does not mention them.  However, on the Internet setup page, this appears:

        And, the RBR50 is not mentioned on that Knowledge base article.  Appears to a county boy that the article is incomplete.

         

        Ordinarily I would recommend calling the "Pre-Sales" technical support number, but I have a suspicion that whoever answers those calls will simply look in the user manual and find...... nothing.
