Hello,

as the thread title states I am changing my BRSK provided router to the Flint 2 and would like a quick and easy to follow guide on how to connect the Flint 2 so I have basic internet access.
I will be using the default Flint 2 software.
I won't have internet access while I connect the Flint 2 so that is why I would like a guide.
Something simple so I can copy and paste into notepad.
Could you make it simple to follow as I am pretty clueless about networking.

Thank you.

Looking at https://help.brsk.co.uk/en/articles/6705168-can-i-use-my-own-wifi-router-with-my-brsk-service they use DHCP protocol for authentication, you'll need to enable dynamic DNS (DDNS) on the Flint 2 https://docs.gl-inet.com/router/en/4/interface_guide/ddns/
then you just unplug the ethernet cable from the BRSK router's WAN port and plug it into Flint's WAN port (first from left). BRSK says it can take 10 mins for the line to come back up.

Thanks @IC3.
The flint 2 arrives tomorrow, so hopefully this will get me set up nicely.
Thank again

Power down Brsk router, connect ONT to new router WAN port, wait 15 minutes, power new router on.
