Shows how to configure VLAN tagging for
Archer C3150( V1 ) , Archer C60( V1 ) , Archer C20( V2 ) , Archer C8( V1 V2 ) , Archer C9( V1 V2 ) , Archer C50( V2 ) , Touch P5( V1 ) , Archer C5400( V1 ) , Archer C1900( V1 ) , Archer C59( V1 ) , Archer C25( V1 ) , Archer C58( V1 ) , Archer C1200( V1 ) , Archer C2600( V1 ) , Archer C2( V3 ) , Archer C3200( V1 ) , TL-WR1043ND( V4 )

Doesn't it?

1442409 2017-12-01 23:40:00 My TL-WR1043ND V4 router does support VLAN tagging, but needs updated firmware which I have not found. I will get them to supply a new router and save the hassle.
I had a flurry of emails at first, then the last one from Chorus stating that they had to get permission because we have a shared driveway. This is nonsense, we have a private driveway, as can clearly be seen on Google street maps. They have now remained silent for a couple of weeks. No hurry, the VDSL has improved as others have gone off it.

Ring your ISP, ask them to make your circuit "Untagged" and "take you off VLAN 10".
You can then use the TL-WR1043NDv4 without issue, no firmware upgrades, no messing around, just set the WAN port to "PPPoE" and that's all, you're good to go!

1442412 2017-12-06 02:20:00 Also, just for the record, those TL-WR1043 devices max out around 140mbps traffic (half-duplex), so they're only suitable for 100/20 plans.
If you want 100/100 then you'll want something faster.
The best device you can get is the Ubiquiti ER-X (EdgeRouter-X) for around $99. It'll do 940 / 800 concurrently, happily, and won't miss a beat... You can then run your TL-WR1043ND or any other device (Such as the UAP-AC-LR) as a Wireless Access Point.

Most solid setup you can get there, HIGHLY recommend the investment.

I think I will keep the TL-WR1043 as a standby and get them to supply a suitable router.
