Own router won't connect (FTTP)

[#1]

Hi,

I have a TP-Link VR2600 router that I was previously using with Plusnet FTTC. I had FTTP upgrade last week and all set up with the Plusnet Hub 2 router. I'm now trying to switch back to my TP-Link, but it won't connect. Hoping someone can verify my setup / point out if I'm missing something.

* switched the router's Operation Mode to Wireless Router, and connected the WAN cable from the ONT to the appropriate LAN/WAN port

* connection details:

    * Username: <myusername>@plusdsl.net
    * Password: <my password for logging into plusnet portal>
    * VLAN: Enabled
    * VLAN Id: 101
    * Connection Type: PPPoE

It fails to connect. In the router logs, I do see a PPP error: "ppp0 Timeout waiting for PADO packets". I have tried reentering username + password, but don't believe it's an issue there.

I've tried throughout the weekend in case, never works. As soon as I connect the Plusnet Hub 2 back, that connects fine.

Have you tried it without the VLAN enabled? This is only needed when the router is also the modem, but the ONT is now the modem.

@anonymousthegee Yep, @Mustrum is correct , no VLAN ID required for FTTP

@Mustrum @MisterW Aha! Thanks so much, that sorted it!

Interestingly, WiFi on the PN Router 2 is significantly faster. But unfortunately, can't split 2.4/5Ghz on it. But that's my next task - replace with a mesh system!

Thanks for your help, much appreciated!
