Question Trying to set up a TP-Link AXE75 AXE5400 Router to replace the Now TV Hub Two?

[ItsShand]

Hi there,

So recently I bought a TP-Link AXE75 AXE5400 Router in the hopes of upgrading the Now TV Hub Two Router, however there seems to be no clear way to replace the old router with the new one, only to connect it from ethernet to WAN and have it as a second router effectively. I am hoping someone may be able to tell me if it is possible to fully replace the Now TV Hub Two with the new router? I have read online that Now TV and Sky make it tricky for customers to replace the provided router. I'm new to network and router improvements, so just looking for any help I can get!

Thank you

Searched Google and found Now TV Hub Two Router is a DSL router which uses a phone line.

TP-Link AXE75 AXE5400 is an ethernet router, so it can't replace the Hub Two router,

you can only setup TP-Link as an AP (access point, LAN port to LAN port, which will lose most of it's functionality) or cascade the TP-Link's WAN port to Hub Two's one of the LAN ethernet ports and create a double NAT network, it won't be a serious problem as long as you don't host servers.

In theory you can buy a DSL router to replace Hub Two, but I don't live in UK and don't know what DSL router model is compatible with your ISP's DSL service.
