Yes, still using that set up, currently getting 522mbps down and 102mbps up. But obvs with that set up means I can't use a land-line, but only ever got nuisance calls so don't miss it.

My VF CS experience was terrible, however they did compensate this with £126 worth of credit to my first 3 months bills.

Ok this worked also, so I can now see my NAS etc, but it's a little slower than usual. Although I can see the Netgear Switch through the Netgear app, I can't connect to it by typing the IP into a browser, if I allow automatic IP assignment it picks IP's in the 192.168.0.2 onwards range, even...

Ok, saved the settings and it seems to be working!!!!!!! Thanks so much for the help buddy, I really appreciate it! Been trying about 2 months to find a ******* way round this! Is there a way to log into the switch once its connected ONT-Switch-Google Router? The usual IP address I look it...

Appreciate the input, I'm the kind of person that if I'm wrong about something, I'd rather just someone say it straight out and say it, so thanks for that. Ok so I have set up as below: VLAN-NEW1 by Scott Hastie, on Flickr VLAN-NEW2 by Scott Hastie, on Flickr VLAN-NEW3 by Scott Hastie, on...

Well Vodafone gave me 2 numbers, 911 & 101. Away to try 101. Photos below: VLAN2 by Scott Hastie, on Flickr VLAN1 by Scott Hastie, on Flickr

Yeah I found this part when I was trying again not long ago, set port 3 to VLAN ID 911, still not working

Yeah I checked the details 3 times with Vodafone before trying them, even copied and pasted the details straight from the chat to a word doc, still didn't work. I'll try some more tinkering later, but really almost my wits end with this, been trying various settings and set ups since...

It's still possible I'm configuring wrongly, I configured the switch firstly connected his way: ONT-VF Router-Switch, this was the only way to set up the switch as it needed Internet to set up. Once the VLAN was set I then connected it this way: ONT-Switch-Google Nest WiFi Router, and tried to...

Yeah it wont let me input 911, only 1 to 5, or all, but even with all selected, it still doesn't work.

And so the struggle continues........... The switch didn't work, it will only let you assign a VLAN number based on number of switches, so 5 ports only a VLAN of 1-5 can be selected. I tried selecting all, saved, connected google router, input PPPoE info, connection failed.

Yeah, thought that might happen. As it's a completely new line installation, internet and phone come in on the fibre cable to the ONT, that's why the router needs to support VLAN tagging, for the VOIP part for the phone. Which is frustrating, as it ties you to the VF router to have a landline...

I'm currently working on a solution for the VLAN issue in which a couple of forum members have suggested using a cheap network switch, I have a thread on it here - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/forums/threads/which-modem-for-gigabit-lan-cable.18902659/ But they remaining issue is the landline...

I've ordered a Netgear switch from Amazon which is coming tomorrow, but, just thinking about it, would the Netgear switch send the VLAN ID back towards the ONT? Cos thats where the VLAN ID is needed in order to connect the Google Router to the ONT.

True, never thought of that. It's no major issue, in last 3 years only calls to landline are nuisance callers.

Ok, this sounds like a promising solution. Switch is like £24 from Amazon and it would arrive tomorrow. This would also solve landline issue, as landline connects to Vodafone Router, but I can still have VF router plugged in, but it's not passing through the internet signal to the Google WiFi.

Ok, thanks. How would the switch work? So I could potentially remove the ISP router and have: ONT-Switch-Google WiFi? The problem is I don't want 2 routers in the network, as this is the current case and it's causing connection and speed issues. Connecting to the ONT directly requires input...

Anyone any other ideas? Looking for a modem only, no wifi, that supports LAN cable (Not DSL) and VLAN tagging.

Is your ORBI a mesh based system? WiFi router + points? If it is it probably won't, my ONT only has a single LAN cable going to the VF Router, there's a plug on the VF router for your telephone. I did have a Google Nest WiFi Router + 2 WiFi points system, but the problems I had is that you...

That is indeed my thinking. As soon as the embargo is lifted, and the other companies start offering it, I'm off.
