What our TalkTalks settings to setup a different Routers

I_Have_Questions — Sat, 26 Oct 2024 11:17:23 GMT

Hi there,

I am trying to set up my own TP-link router as the TalkTalk ones DHCP failed. I have looked through the articles and entered the recommended settings but getting no where. Anyone managed to use their own router and do you have the required settings?

What make/model of TalkTalk router do you have? If it is faulty it can be replaced free of charge.

I am going to need more information then. What model TP-Link is it, and what package are you on? Does TP-Link say that it is compatible with your TalkTalk network?

Tick ADSL not VDSL (Fibre To The Cabinet).

Then follow the Non-fibre broadband section below:-

Thanks, that was the article I followed no joy. Do TalkTalk have to accept the connection or do something at their end?

Does TP-Link actually say it is compatible with TalkTalk's ADSL service?

What are the other choices in the dropdown menu where it says PPPoE? Is there an IPoE option, or maybe DHCP?
