Hi all, I kinda got scammed and bought this 2years ago, buyer hid the fact that its only compatible with singtel business broadband because its a router that came along with it. Now I'm just wondering if it is even possible at all to reconfigure and use this router at all? Router = Aztech DSL8800GR(S) ADSL2
You can use it only as an AP. Router > Ethernet cable > AP
Hey xonix thanks for the reply! I did the connection like this modem -> Router -> PC using the ethernet cable but I was unable to receive any internet connection. The light representing internet was red.
Connect to Router WAN port. For fibre broadband ISP supplied ONT Port-1 is for internet only.

The light representing internet was red. Do the following in the aztech settings Disable dhcp, connect from router to any of aztech 4 lan ports. Don't connect to WAN, it won't work for an AP.
@Zealtee, in order to setup your Aztech DSL8800GR as AP, after you disable the dhcp on the Aztech DSL8800GR, you need to connect it as a secondary router as below : That is what @xonix trying to highlight to you. BTW, what ISP are you trying to use with the Aztech DSL8800GR ADSL router ?
@tungsten2 @xonix thank you for the prompt reply and help! I will try out the new settings and post an update asap. My ISP is starhub at the moment. I understand that I am only able to use the aztech router as an AP (whats the value of this actually), so does that mean that my setup needs to be like this: modem -> router -> Aztech router -> computers? My primary D-link router is getting old and cranky and initially I wanted to replace this with the aztech router... is that not possible?
Yes, modem -> router -> Aztech router -> computers Dlink routers got 3 years warranty. I replace both in january this year. Now working swee swee.

BTW, what ISP are you trying to use with the Aztech DSL8800GR ADSL router ? I've just tried the above setup, it kinda works but the network is rather unstable (pages often dont load) and slow. The wifi feature on the other hand doesn't work at all.
