Hello, I recently installed FTTH and a fibre optic modem in another room. My ISP is Telekom in Germany. We currently have three routers at home. A Telekom Speedport W724V with analog ports for our landline phones, an ASUS RT-AX56U for WiFi on the second floor, and a TP-Link router for the ground floor. Previously, our phone station was in the office room next to the TP-Link, connected to the DSL modem. I moved it up to the second floor where the fibre modem is now. I tried connecting the ASUS router to the modem but it didn’t show internet. I read that I need to use PPPoE in the router’s WAN settings, but I didn’t have much time and just connected via the Speedport. Now I’m ready to set things up again, but I’m confused about the process. What should I configure on the ASUS router? I’d like to bring the Speedport back to its original location.

The fiber gateway is a specific model, and all devices are configured with their standard router settings rather than functioning solely as wireless access points.

You can look for it in the standard setup section. They remain in their default settings.

Examine the device directly. Multiple routers handling router duties on the same network can cause issues with DHCP, NAT, firewalls, etc. Switch your secondary wireless units to access point mode once you assign them unique static IPs within the same LAN subnet as the fiber gateway. Avoid special PPPoE configurations that you must input for your own router if you plan to retain the fiber gateway. In reality, you’ll probably need to keep the fiber gateway since all configurations are linked to it and your ISP account. Simply connect an Ethernet cable from a LAN port on the fiber gateway to the WAN port on the wireless router, and configure the latter with a fixed IP in the same LAN subnet as the fiber gateway. Since the fiber gateway functions as a router, consider changing it to bridge mode (may be challenging if settings are unclear) or switch your ASUS device to bridge/AP mode.

Refers to item A-020011. Thank you, I'll handle it later. Today I linked the ASUS router to the fiber modem, and it functioned properly. The issue was with the Telekom Speedport W724V. I connected its "Link" port to an ASUS router LAN port, but there was no internet access and the phones didn't work. I had to reset everything again so we could use our phones now.
