Get expert support with your Fibre connection.

Hi everyone,
I recently purchased a TP-Link Deco X50-DSL and have been trying to set it up as a DSL modem router using the configuration guide from TP-Link’s website. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to establish an internet connection.
I was advised to first confirm with TalkTalk whether my connection type is Dynamic IP and if the required VLAN ID is 101. Can someone from TalkTalk confirm this for me?
Additionally, I would really appreciate any help in configuring the Deco X50-DSL as a standalone DSL modem, directly connected to my phone line, without needing to bridge it through the TalkTalk modem.
Has anyone successfully set up this device with TalkTalk, or can TalkTalk support provide guidance on the correct settings?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best,
arekP

Great I like people working, helps pay my diminishing pension👍
Look forward to hearing later. I'm trying to find a deco gui emulator to familiarise myself

Hi @Arekp great thanks, from the deco gui are you able to send screenshots of the settings there please?

Hi,
Yes, I have access to the GUI and I’m sending a photo of the wall socket. It looks like a standard telephone socket. Between the Sagem router and the socket, I also have a white modem from TalkTalk. I have fiber 150

Hi @Arekp sorry that didn't work. Time to get a bit more specific.
You are posting in the fibre section, is your connection actually full fibre? Is the box on the wall ONT or old style phone jack.
Have you been able to access the TP-Link Deco X50-DSL gui?
A couple of screenshots would help if possible.

Hey, I’m not badmouthing anyone! I just wanted to say, half-jokingly, that I tried but gave up and will have to call TalkTalk’s helpline. Unfortunately, I have unpleasant experiences with automated systems that try to assist before connecting you to a real person. 😳

I was going to offer some thoughts, but in light of your denigration of the previous help offered I'll just leave you to it.

Hi @ Divsec
Well, I must say, “many times successfully” doesn’t seem to apply to me! Your advice, while undoubtedly well-intentioned, has proven about as useful as a chocolate teapot. Looks like I’ll be engaging in the time-honored tradition of spending 2-3 delightful hours on the phone with TalkTalk support instead. Wish me luck—I may emerge wiser, or just slightly more broken.
I’ll keep you posted… if I survive.

Hi @Arekp many times successfully. Try simply connecting the new router to the wall and not using the TT kit at all. I'm afraid I don't know the settings for every router out there but it is virtually impossible to "brick" a router. The reset button is your friend.
Please let us know how you get on.
