Switched to TELUS - how to use my own router?
I just switched to TELUS from Shaw. I'll be using the Internet and 2 phone lines, so the installer made a setup with Nokia ONT XS-250X-A, Network Access Hub NH20T and Wireless AP B20T. I would like ...

This is where the tricks begin. A couple of things to try here... First plug a laptop/computer into the 10Gbps port on the Nokia XS-250X-A and start it up. if the Nokia XS-250X-A is indeed in bridged mode you will receive a Telus WAN IP address as the IP of your computer. Be very carful doing this as the only firewall enabled will be what you have configured on that computer.
You should be able to navigate to the Nokia XS-250X-A via the address you previously tried. Sometime the admin user name is printed on a little label on the device, I would look for that and try it instead of the one generically found in the pdf document. Some of the time you can only get to the GUI interface after a reset.
As a last resort you may want to factory reset your Nokia XS-250X-A and then plug into one of the 1Gbps LAN ports 1-4 and you again should be able to log into that device.
Remember that if you do factory reset the device you will have to configure it into bridged mode again on the 10Gbps LAN port to get back where you are currently configured. again only factory reset if you are comfortable with reconfiguring the Nokia XS-250WX-A into bridged mode.
Personally, I'd just do the following as you are probably correct in the assumption that the Nokia XS-250X-A is indeed in bridged mode.
Unhook the NH20A as a test and hook up your ASUS AC1750's WAN port to the Nokia XS-250X-A 10Gbps LAN port and see if everything's working.
Then the only device you have to worry about configuring would be the ASUS AC1750... Cheers

I'm a bit reluctant to do ONT factory reset, so I'll just go ahead and connect the ASUS router to see what happens - can't hurt.
Thanks a lot for your help, I'll let you know who it goes.
