The settings used for Asus Routers are common for Turk Telekom GPON and Turknet GPON.
You can set up the WAN connection via a DSL device set to bridge mode or an ONT device used for fiber, as shown in the video. The minimum required settings are explained in the video. If a step is shown in the video, it is absolutely necessary, so do not skip any steps.
IPTV setting is required for “TĂĽrk Telekom tivibu ev” because IPTV broadcast is transmitted from the local network (VLAN 55) and not over the internet. Other IPTV services (Apple TV, etc.) do not need IPTV settings because they receive the broadcast directly over the internet, they can receive the broadcast over VLAN 35.This guide is great. Thank you very much. I think I’ll just need to do the first part when I get the Fiber from my ISP. I’m not using Tivibu Ev service. I actually do, but only via Apple TV. I just have an online subscription. Therefore I believe I won’t have to set up dual wan. And I assume that the IPV6 activation is also only needed for the Tivibu setup. During my setup I’m sure this video will guide me well.
Thank you very much for your help and time.

Thank you! I have already applied for Fiber. The new system will be coming to my house within a few days :)
AND Surprise!!!
I found a solution. It’s probably all due to the modem I was using. It was a coincidence but while it wasn’t working at all in bridge connection, I decided to switch the modem back to PPPoE until my Fiber modem and connection will arrive. So I switched it to PPPoE but I forgot to enable the 802.1q on the modem’s WAN configuration page. So I connected to my Router’s admin this time to switch it from PPPoe to Automatic IP but when the admin page showed up I saw that the WAN IP was there! I made a few tests to understand what was causing the issue. So it looks like, when we switch the DSL-AC88U modem to Bridge mode, it doesn’t connect at all as bridge. This function is not working properly if your ISP needs a VLAN tag. But what happened, when I forgot to enable the 802.1q (VLAN tag), my router went connected to the internet and directly got the WAN IP.
So in conclusion, if you want to be able to use DSL-AC88U in bridge mode, you’ll keep it in PPPoE but then disable 802.1q in the modem. And in your router you select your connection type again as PPPoE and set the VLAN ID to 35 as required for my ISP in the IPTV tab. All is working as like I chose the Bridge mode in a properly working modem.
I can’t believe this was the issue.

So in this post you can see my DSL AC88U settings.
8 and 9 shows how I can make a PPPoE connection directly from my modem. And 10 shows what I change to try to connect with my router so I put the modem in bridge mode in 10.

Are you on the latest ASUS GT-BE98 Firmware version 3.0.0.6.102_33570 firmware ?
Did you manage to gain access to the IPTV settings page/tab ?
Can we see how you configured IPTV for Internet ?
Seems you are not receiving an IP address from WAN, Is WAN internet connection type Automatic in your country (see next reply) ?
In a completely sane world, madness is the only freedom (J.G.Ballard).
Yes I found the latest firmware and downloaded manually. The check button was showing me I had the latest firmware but I found this firmware in this forum and downloaded it.
Yes IPTV settings is in the LAN settings. I accessed there and made the following changes as shown in the picture:
I’m also attaching the settings in Wan. but as you see in the picture 6.png, the internet connection is shown as disconnected.
In the next post I’ll send you how I could connect with my Modem to the internet. All the settings will be shown.
Edit: I attached another 6.jpg file. The previous one was a large file.

I think the possibilities are either the GT BE98’s firmware is not mature as you said or the DSL AC88U’s malfunctioning due to that lack of VLan support in bridge mode. I don’t know if there is anything I didn’t try

Oh one more question which I don’t understand very much. Now my modem is connected directly with PPPoe. And my router is gaining automatic ip from the modem and that’s how I’m using the internet via my router. So in order to make this setup work, the DHCP server has to be enabled in the modem’s settings. When we switch to Bridge, does it matter whether the DHCP server is enabled or disabled in the modem? Which one is better?

Thank you for the reference. Yes I have those exact settings on my router’s admin page. In Dual Wan I can select the Primary WAN as 10G WAN or 2.5G WAN / LAN1. I think I should select the port where I’m connecting the ethernet cable coming from the modem. In may case it’s 10G WAN.
I just don’t understand why the ISPs require the VAN ID if it is related with IP TV. I’m not using it and I don’t have a subscription for IP TV either. But it looks like it’s still needed to enter I guess.
I’ll try to do whatever you say. But my wife is watching something from Apple TV :) I can’t stop the internet. I’ll try a little later. But if it doesn’t work, do you think it’s most probably due to lack of the DSL AC88U’s VAN Id support in bridge mode?

Hello,
I have been using Asus DSL AC88U modem with a VDSL subscription for a long time. Today, after many years, I decided to buy a router for the first time. I purchased the Asus GT BE98 model, which I really liked the features of, even though it’s a bit expensive but I definitely wanted to get it. I have never used a router before, but I have some understanding of how it works. Today, when I tried to make the connections, I encountered a problem, which is that it simply does not work in Bridge mode. I suspect that the issue may be more related to the DSL AC88U modem I am using. However, I wanted to ask here to make sure.
Normally, just changing the connection type to Bridge should have been enough. Then, by entering the PPPoE settings on the router connected to the Lan1 port and entering the username and password, it should have worked. However, the router does not seem to get the Wan IP in any way in this mode.
After doing some research, I learned that the DSL AC88U does not support VLAN ID in Bridge mode, even though it appears to be enabled in the settings. My ISP needs this to be with the value of 35. This modem has not received updates for years. Could the problem be entirely due to this? During the router setup, I activated the special ISP settings section in the advanced settings and entered ’35’ in the VID section, but the result did not change. I also don’t have another cheap VDSL modem on hand to try.
I can’t make up my mind about what to do. I think the modem I’m using should support VLAN in Bridge mode, and despite being a supposedly advanced modem, it doesn’t.
I can try two things:
- Buy a cheap Zyxel or TPLink modem and put it in Bridge mode, which would be an expensive solution.
- Try to find someone who has a modem that I can borrow, but that is a bit less likely at the moment. I don’t know anyone close by who can help me on this.
A third solution would be that my ISP keeps calling me and saying that the fiber line has reached our building and they want to change the infrastructure. Maybe I can do that, and their modem will come for free. I hope that fiber modems have a properly functioning Bridge feature. Though my speed won’t change because the infrastructure doesn’t support high fiber speed on our street yet.
I wanted to hear if there is anything you think I haven’t tried. Thank you.
