Hi, I have recently switched to one stream and as the charge a monthly fee for a a router and I already had a mesh network setup (old house thick stone walls) successfully for several years I thought I could buy a cheap old vdsl router and use this as a modem similar to my old setup with nowtv.

My problem is I’m getting a DSL light on the router but the internet isn’t connecting and one stream are saying that they cannot help me with a 3rd party router.

As I bought the router 2nd hand (from CEX) then I’m sure if it’s a faulty router or it’s a fault of the settings

Welcome, The DSL-N16 is an old model router, but they are robust.

What ISP was you using previously and did the previous modem also act as a router.

I ask as the DSL-N16 from what I remember cannot be used as a modem only, there is no option for Bridge mode but can be used as modem and router if that makes sense ?

Connected via ethernet cable to a set of three tenda nova MW3. The nowtv box is just the standard router that gets sent out when you join.

Sorry just read that properly, (tried to reply whilst out with the dog). The nowtv router was the model NR801. Hasn’t got a manufacturer that I can tell

I use the modem router as a as a router just turn off the wifi as the coverage isn’t good enough and use a set of 3 Tenda Nova MW3 in bridge mode so they provide the WiFi and the router provides the internet access to them via ethernet. This has worked fine for a few years now but as it was time to switch providers I decided to give onestream a go just refused to pay £3 a month for a router that costs £25 new (Looks like a TP Link TD-W9970) . I have now ordered one from amazon to check if I can get it to work but that wont arrive till tomorrow and if I can get the Asus to work I can send it back.

No problem, Does sound initially like a set-up error, have your configured the DSL-N16 for Onestream’s PPPoE username and password and you need to set VLAN to 101.

Fixed thank you very much. It was the VLAN, there was no mention of setting that in the onestream instructions.

Great news and glad you are all sorted

Just one area to consider, ensure the DSL-N16 is running the latest firmware Version 1.1.2.3_999 as this ensures all security updates are applied.
