Default TalkTalk and TPLINK

Arrrrgggghhhhh!

Just switched from BT to TalkTalk. I was using a TPLink VR900 modem router all set up with my home automation, security cameras, NAS, media server etc etc.

Got the talk talk router on d-day so plugged it in and I have broadband at the advertised speed.

But, I don't want to set it all up and it doesn't have all the features I want as does the VR900.

So a bit of research and I see that the VR900 is pre configure via the quick set up to connect to TalkTalk. I follow the process and all I get is 'not connected' check phone cable!

6 hours later and I've connected my VR900 to the talktalk router via its WAN port and using talktalk router as a modem and VR900 as router but i cant stream anything! No amazon music, no sonos radio etc. Its also untidy.

anyone got any ideas?
