Hi so I'm trying to use my Tp-link Vr2100 modem with my ee modem. I have the ee router plugged into the DSL port and then a network cable coming from network port 1 on the ee modem into the WAN port on the tp-link modem and the tp link modem has been switched to "Wirless Router Mode" . But I've been trying to setup the tp-link router up but the username and password doesn't seem to work, the username and password I'm using is: bthomehub@btbroadband.com and BT (also tried no password). But if I set it up with Dynamic IP it work fine.
FYI the ee route has a Internet connection and works fine and all the cable are fine. I was also using the tp-link router with my previous Internet provider for many years via the DSL port and user the username and password for Plusnet.
I have attached two screenshots one of it setup as a dynamic ip and the setting in trying to use for pppoe!
It's never been this hard in the past....

Let's see your settings for the Net Config (your 2nd pix)? What choice does the Type drop-down show?

is this the correct page?

I can't read it. What's the last Type Drop-down?

@Olifab The Tp-Link VR2100 Router does not have a dedicated AP mode off operation, you will need to go set it that way, have a look on the Tp-Link community page for how to do that!
