Cannot connect, but DSL light on?

I've recently upgraded to fibre from ADSL, and after the connection working OK for a few days I cannot connect at all. I am using the Openreach modem (Huawai HG612) and the new Plusnet 2704n router. The green DSL light is stays on constantly on the modem, but I cannot connect with the router, or directly via ethernet into the modem. I'm confident I've got the password correct. I've tried all the usual power cycling and resetting shenanigans.
The problems began when I tried to setup my Apple Airport Extreme instead pf the Plusnet router. I could not get it to work, so gave up, and when I swapped back to the Plusnet router I was unable to connect.
I have raised a ticket with Plusnet, but wondered if anyone had any bright ideas? My intuition tells me that there is something amiss with the authentication procedure; either my account is somehow locked, or its not expecting the password and username that I'm putting in?
Thanks

Each time I also left plenty of time after turning the modem on before turning on the router. The DSL light goes solid green pretty quickly (maybe 20 or 30 seconds).

Are you using the correct username? It should be in the format username@plusdsl.net

That's why we passed it back originally as we thought it was working.
Tony was able to drop the stuck connection allowing you to get back online

It was a "stuck session" according to Ben who sorted it very quickly for me. This was around 2pm.
(And for the record, the 0800 no. was answered almost immediately. My only complaint is that the hold music while Ben was checking things was way too loud!)

The router either tells me the authentication is incorrect (it isnt) or if it does give me the connected wan ip (172.etc) I still cannot get online.
Anyone any ideas?
Appreciate any help in the matter.
