Question 1

Does it work with bt tv? can someone paste the list of pre configured ip tv providers?

Accepted Answer

Yes it does work with BT TV. I had struggled with it for a while and had actually packed up this router to return it. After giving it one more go, it turned out that my problem was with powerline adapters. What I did to make it work was (in IPTV and VOIP tab) enable IPTV by ticking the appropriate box and (not sure if necessary) leaving the other option as IPTV STB Port - but left all the ports as "Internet". Changing a port to "IPTV" did not actually work.In General Tab, I enabled IGMP Snooping, IGMP Proxy, NAT and set IGMP version to "version 3".This has been working now for several days albeit with a temporary cable up my stairs bypassing the powerline adapters. N.B. - you will need to have an Openreach (or equivalent) modem as the Synology is a router only. Hope this helps.

Question 2

Hi, will this work with Fibre-optic broadband?

Accepted Answer

I have this wired MY RT2600ac to BT Fibre Broadband. You need an OpenReach modem. You can pick them up fairly cheap on eBay. Run a network cable from the modem to your Synology and you should be good to go.  When you buy your OpenReach modemthey come in one of two variants (1) Huawei (2) ECI. Try and buy the one that matches your cabinet. Your cabinet will be a green metal cabinet on a street somewhere in your neighbourhood. Use the KITZ cabinet checker site (google it) for more information on identifying your cabinet and the switch gear used

Question 3

How to set this up with Talktalk, all wired through a modem do i need to configure some settings, says no internet

Accepted Answer

Yes, you need to configure it – it’s not 100% just plug and play

Question 4

Hi is this going to work with sky broadband ?

Accepted Answer

It will but what you will have is something called double nat. That is fine if you are just browsing, streaming & downloading. But if you want to do fancy things like a VPN server or VoIP you may have issues
