I would review the installation guide to see how to setup and connect the router:

Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
Turn off and unplug modem.
Turn off router and computers.
Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on computers and rest of network.What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

Thank you.From what i can work our i need a modem for some reason there isn't one built in which to my surprise no one says or on the box
I have a VDSL / DSl connection which by my guess is about 80% in UK and i'm not the only one with this problem
so basically bit of a waste of money
supposedly one of the best routers out and i need a £24 modem to make it work pretty **bleep** !

The "reason" is that you bought a router. This is not the same thing as a modem/router.
You can't expect boxes to say what they don't include.
Your ISP almost certainly explains what you need. It might even offer to sell you the hardware. Most do, albeit at a price.

Sure is, but you need the right equipment and settings.
Is this the same issue as the one you posted here?

The details there are a bit different. So there doesn't seem to be much point in dealing with this conversation.
