8200AXL-1200 modem-only?

[LucasvdB]

I just ordered the 8200AXL-1200 to replace the old Openreach ECI modem. It has been advertised by various vendors as 'modem-only capable'. That is what I need to connect it to a DECO mesh system. I have now downloaded the full user manual and I cannot see 'IP over Ethernet' configuration that is required for TalkTalk. Should I have ordered the 8800nl r2 instead?

Link below (you need to set the WAN interface to 'Bridge' mode, you might need to also turn off the DHCP server, as you will be using IP Over Ethernet)

Bridge Mode (modem only mode)

Thank you billion_fan.

I'll try to use the right keywords in the search box the next time:)

I'll disable the WiFi too of course, but might use the USB LTE modem facilities in the future.

When will there be firmware for Manual Band Selection.
We have a problematic band 41 which we need to disable. Then it should Aggregate with 3 or all of the following. B1, B3, B8, B20 and B38

Band 41 was a temporary band used by our countries ISP's during covid. The regulator already gave orders to shut down band 41 which will be replaced with band 20 and Band 38

We already have b1, b3 and b8 active on the one provider


On the other provider we have - B1, B3, B40 active. and soon to be active - B20
