Full Fibre 500 Bridge Bridge Mode

Good morning,
I currently have Virgin Media and want to move to Plusnet Full Fibre 500. I have a UniFi Access Point connected to a UniFi Dream Machine.
I therefore need the Plusnet Router to be able to use Bridge Mode. Before I proceed with the order can I please get confirmation that the router provided allows for this setup

Hi @rogermbolton welcome to the forum.

When you have Full Fibre installed it is terminated in your property at ONT in which is a Fibre modem, so no other device is required.

So provided your UniFi access point supports PPPoE connections you can connect it directly to the ONT

Re: Full Fibre 500 Bridge Bridge Mode

Thank you for your quick and helpful response. So for a geek wannabe like me that thinks he knows but actually doesn't, I need to check if my UnFi UDM (Dream Machine) fully supports PPPoE connections. Then that's all I need, I don't even need the Smart Hub Two..... Is that right.

@rogermbolton  have a search through previous posts, Im sure there's been a few regarding using the Unify USG.

For information , the settings required for using your own router are here :- https://www.plus.net/help/broadband/broadband-connection-settings/

However , the ones shown as for Fibre broadband refer to FTTC ( Fibre to the cabinet ) NOT Full Fibre. Those settings are the same except for VLAN , For Full Fibre VLAN should be disabled.

Correct - I does fully support PPPoE, I've been running mine for a few years. You just go Ethernet from the WAN port on the UDM to the ONT. You don't need the Plusnet router.

@rogermbolton 

Might be worth getting the Hub2 anyway - just for backup.
