Sentinel thanks for the advice and recommendation, ordered amazon for both 130 and 86u hopefully my Pure VPN can be utilised now after all this time the dskl 88u has failed especially wifi with all home automation devices heating, security cams and nest hello and lights all failing when IPTV is used and netflix and prime video over wifi fails…. looking forward to a stress free Christmas period. Can i see vdsl line stats with the draytek 130 or is it by the 86u router?

Yes and all by default, If you leave the DrayTeK 130 modem as it is, when it arrives, the access to modem will be via (192.168.2.1) and the ASUS RT-AC86U by default IP address is (192.168.50.1) and the ASUS will allow access to modem by Default by Telnet or web Browser ;-)

As the DrayTeK 130 is BT MCT (SIN498) approved, then make sure you use the latest firmware approved for BT (3.8.3 BT) and read the instructions carefully as two files are includes, .all and .RST one of the firmware’s installs and keeps the original settings, the other installs and wipes current config, you want the one that keeps the settings ;-)
