John, I have done a few of these now and generally they go OK. The thing to remember is that you are now not dealing with ADSL but Ethernet. The Virgin Hub is doing the “ADSL” bit and turning it into Ethernet, which is what the TP-Link would have been doing internally.
However on one occasion there was a Virgin Hub that just refused to work with a Draytek router. I know Drayteks well and have often used them like this but it wasn’t happening. This was in Lockdown I and the customers family business was being kicked out of their office. We were relocating the server to his house and setting up VPN connections so the rest of the family could remotely access it and an instant fix was needed. Went up to Argos and got a £30 TL-WR940N and it worked first time. I had to find another way to do the VPN but it’s been faultless.
Tested the Draytek on another hub and it’s fine. This is the sort of thing drives you nuts, he may be doing everything OK and it’s just not playing. Before you throw it through the window try a factory reset on the TPL. This is literally the only setting on the WAN page (it’s a live screen shot which is why I’ve obscured the IP address it obtained). No user names or passwords required, just set it to Dynamic IP and the Virgin Hub does the rest.
