TP-Link Deco Be25 - can’t figure out how to get it to work
Hello there,
So I got hyperoptic a couple of days ago and was told I could use a third party router which I decided would be best to get close to the speeds I’m paying for.
I bought a deco be25 after finding deco devices easy to use and reliable.
Following instructions I found elsewhere I plug the cable from the ONT into the deco. Set up as dynamic and no VlAN settings and no connection.
I tried cloning the MAC address of the hyperoptic router. No connection.
I called hyperoptic who added the MAC address of the deco. No connection. Nothing I try sees the internet connection.
When I plug the Ethernet cable from the ONT box into my Mac directly. No connection either.
It works when plugged into the hyperoptic router as a bridge but not otherwise. I’d rather not have two routers running.
Any idea what could be going wrong here. I’m going slightly nuts trying to figure this out. Hyperoptic have as expected said its third party so their not going to help.
