"Internet Connection type" for wifi mesh

maxBB — Thu, 09 Mar 2023 13:39:24 GMT

Hi there,

The wifi coverage in my house is dreadful, so I'm thinking of setting up a mesh. However, I need to know my "internet connection type" to set it up (e.g. Dynamic IP, PPPoE, Static IP etc) and I have no idea how to find this out!

Does anyone know?

Thanks!

Hi Chris,

My package is Fibre 65, does that in any way answer your question?

Do you have a box on your wall (ONT) or does your router just connect to your telephone socket?

The router plugs into the phone socket.

(Thanks for the quick replies btw!)

Thanks. It's dynamic IP address and the following help article has settings for a 3rd party router, hope this helps - Set up a non-TalkTalk router - TalkTalk Help & Support
