Hi, First of all, apologies for not posting in Dutch. Any help or response in English would be very much appreciated. 

I have purchased a set of TP-link Deco M5. I have them connected via the T-Mobile router (Zyxel VMG8825-T50) but I would like to bypass the T-Mobile router and connect the Deco base unit directly to the modem. I contacted T-Mobile via chat and phone but could not get the appropriate advice. Can anyone help?

Hello @AdrianUK 

You mean directly connecting to the mediaconverter? You can follow this guide and set up VLAN.

VLAN 300 internet

VLAN 640 IPTV

Connection type DHCP

Thanks for the quick response (and in English too!) Waggas. I will have a look. Interestingly, when I dig a little deeper into the Deco settings, I see that the main M5 is actually working in router mode, rather than AP mode and I am getting all the functionality with the full BW that I would expect, so at the moment, things are going well.
