A dedicated bit of network cable between your 130 and router would be best. However if you can't do that you should be able to share multiple networks over the powerline equipment.
option 1.
Two sets of homeplug "IDs" - call one "WAN130" (to link the 130 and the router) and the other "LAN" (router LAN port to other LAN devices in the house) and that should keep the traffic distinct and prevent DHCP issues
option 2.
You would need to disable an DHCP stuff on the 130 and router for the WAN connections otherwise any other home device might end up connecting to the wrong network (ie. the WAN link between the 130 and router rather than your LAN). Not sure if this would work though
Thanks for your reply. Dedicated cabling would be my first choice, but the distance is to far and will not be convenient.
Have tried the homeplug solution for WAN2 and it appears to work well. I am getting good speeds and it appears to be working so far.
I wish I could say the same for the router, which I may return if Draytek cannot fix the constant line instabilities, and router resets, which is annoying and something I have never experienced on other draytek units in the past and on other routers.
It simply does not work on BT VDSL very well at all. Very disappointing for a £250 router.
thanks again for your help and advice.
