Getting FTTP installed net week, and whilst I ticked the option for the £7 router, i'm hoping I don't need it, and it can be stashed away as a spare.
I'm more than happy with the features and performance of my Draytek box, so my question is going to be:
a) what box will the engineer fit onto the wall? some kind of fibre terminator, what is the box's "output" Is it a PPOE RJ45?
b) can i use my trusty Draytek 2862?
c) if not, is there some suitable Draytek kit I can buy?
Thanks,
Fixed! Go to the fix.

OpenReach install an Optical Network Terminator (ONT) on your wall. Your equipment conencts vial an Ethernet cable.

If your Daytrek supports PPPoE then you can connect it directly.

Its an ONT (Optical network termination) , it provides an RJ45 Ethernet connection. It needs mains power and to be within 1m of a socket.
b) can i use my trusty Draytek 2862?
Yes, connect a cat5e ( or better ) cable from the ONT to the WAN2 port on the 2862. Configure WAN2 for PPPoE with your Plusnet credentials and youre good to go.
edit : make sure youve got the Hardware acceleration enabled https://www.draytek.co.uk/support/guides/kb-hardware-acceleration-tips especially if youre going for > 300Mb FTTP
