I have been given an Asus AC2900 RT-AC86U router which has no instructions. It would seem it does not have a built in modem, as unlike my old cheap and cheerful 2 in 1 huawaii modem router (which has now given up), the asus does not connect to the internet when plugged straight into the phone line (UK).
I am thinking of getting rid of it and opting for a 2 in 1 if it has no modem, as it would probably take up a lot of space. I don't think there would be much of an advantage of having seperate router and modem in a small home either with few devices.
I can connect to the router's settings menu however, so it seems to be working fine, just without internet.
Do I definitely need a seperate modem, and if anyone has anything similar, can they recommend something that would work well with an asus router that isn't too costly?
Thanks for any info
