Trouble using ASUS DSL-AC68U Modem/Router for Spark Fibre Broadband not in a copper line area

Hi,I live in the Mission Heights area of Auckland (had been on the fibre broadband trial since 2008), but when the trial ended in 2012, they changed the ONT to a new one. This meant I could no longer connect my Linksys Router direct to the Fibre WAN and had to use the Telecom Technicolor TG 587n V3. This is a very limited device (only one GB ethernet port) with low speed wi-fi. So I connected it to a Netgear D6300 router to get better results. The Technicolor is still limiting.I bought an ASUS DSL-AC68U modem router which the shop technical guys said it will connect to the Spark UFB.I need to work out how to set it up to connect to the internet.I have tried dual WAN settings, made the Ethernet Port 1 the WAN connection; used the third party Spark Fibre settings (http://www.spark.co.nz/help/internet/getting-started/broadband-settings-third-party-modems/)Although I cannot find any settings to change the Operating Mode; and the encapsulation, VID/VLan settings only applies when I set the router for DSL ->VDSL, not Ethernet WAN.Has anyone successfully used this modem router to connect direct to the Spark fibre broadband (not VDSL)?I only want to use a single modem/router device, not bridge two separate ones.Let me know if you need more information.Thanks in advance.CheersMatt
