About to make the switch from VM to Yayzi… and just want to check my logic…
Currently have a couple of X50 points in the house hard wired back to an X50 VDSL which is being used as the WiFi Router (VM box set to router mode… so nothing complicated there)
With a switch to Yayzi… I am assuming I will plug the X50 VDSL into the ONT provided by City Fibre (and not use the provided router)…
Will I need to switch the VDSL into modem router? or leave it at WiFi router?
Judicial use of didnt give me much to go on 
Cheers

ok should be doable from what I know of the deco’s
Thank you! Will pull the pin on the order now!

Well I’ve ordered it now… so I’ll let you know 
Just submitted a support ticket - there was nowhere on the signup pages to request the static IP option… so hopefully there’s not too many hoops to jump through to get it!

If you went for the 1.2g pro you get a static IP
Weirdly I ordered 900plus, but they gave me 1.2g pro, not gonna complain at the free upgrade

If you don’t need the router let them know and they will only charge you 25 quid for the install

well… I’m in and it’s all running on the Yayzi supplied router
Disconnected the provided router and plugged in my one…
I had a choice of DSL Modem Router or WiFi router… so selected WiFi Router…
Set Internet VLAN to 911… Priority to 0…
…and nothing
If I go with DSL Modem Router… there’s a lot of choices such as PPPoE, Auto Sync-up and quite a few more
Anyone any suggestions if I need WiFi Router or DSL Modem Router mode?
The Deco X50 devices are not VLAN-aware, and will not send tagged packets across the wifi link. The TP-Link Omada APs can do a mesh, albeit without a third radio as a dedicated backhaul. They support VLANs across the mesh links
I could be wrong but i do not think the Deco mesh work with Vlan

They must support it then I just googled it and found the info above. I must be wrong

See url yours will show 802.1Q if supports it
Please connect Deco to the Ethernet port of the ONT with an Ethernet cable and follow the in-app instructions.
At the step where to enter your internet connection type and VLAN ID, Please select “Dynamic IP”…
Do you have that DHCP selected? The rest seems OK with the correct VLAN ID etc.
Don’t know that system at all but assume there’s somewhere you can check if you’re actually getting an IP assigned, as that seems to be the most common problem.

If the above doesn’t work, power cycle the ONT and if that doesn’t work, clone the MAC from the supplied Yayzi router.
So… factory reset the X50s… tried various combinations… and nothing worked 
So have plugged the Yayzi router in… and that’s not getting internet either now… so something somewhere is playing silly beggars!
Have popped it on WhatsApp to them… they seem quick to reply so will await their suggestions
If I get the X50 solution cracked afterwards, I will add to this thread for future reference when people have the same question
If all else fails, I’ll just run them in AP mode - so get the mesh benefits without some of the extra bells and whistles … but good enough… once the Yayzi kit connects anyways

Honestly the AP mode option is the simplest, the routing functions aren’t anything special in this case and it won’t perform any different in that respect than the supplied Yayzi router.
Good shout. One more plug that I was hoping to avoid, but will get the same net result
Will go that route as soon as they resolve the Yayzi router not getting internet
Thanks for the help and advice everyone - really appreciated and great to see a lively community!
OK… so…
In case anyone else comes across this… it was simple enough
X50 in WiFi router mode
Internet VLan on
VLan ID to 911 and Priority to 0
Set to Dynamic IP
…and off it goes
So exactly what I was trying last night, but this time after something done at the Yayzi end by the network bods so it had a connection
Now to find out why the speedtest using the TPLink tool (so straight from the router) is showing wavy lines of 550 to 700 down and 360-430 up…
Yes, there is. The X50 DSL has DSL Modem Router, WiFi Router and Access Point options
I believe the ordinary X50 has the latter two options to play with
I purchased the DSL version alongside the normal X50s to cover all the bases … Virgin, BT ADSL…
but fortunately it also works with the Yayzi offering!
