NowTV, replacing router and using Vigor130 & RBK50

[Scottona]

Hi All...

After 24 hours of pulling my hair out I am looking for help in setting up my router...

I am on NowTV Super Fibre, I think this is VDSL and get 79mbps... Due to a poor master socket location and solid walls I struggle to get WiFi...

So I purchased a vigor 130 modem, followed the instructions to setup in bridge mode, all looks fine...

Following lots of reviews, knowing I need option 61 I went with the Orbi RBK53 mesh system... But for the life of me I cannot get this to connect to the internet... Has anyone achieved this? I have tried to set the Mac address and multiple user name/password combos and lost count at the number of guides I tried...

Can anyone help before I have no hair left?

Cheers
Scottona

I have come across this but will reset and attempt again, hopefully I missed something obvious, feels like a minefield of different info on the option 61
