Plusnet FFTP setup for TPlink Vr2800

Getting FFTP full fibre installed tomorrow and not 100% of the configuration needed in the VR2800 for it to work?

 

Anyone got experience of the configuration setup? 

 

I understand a cat 6 between BT Terminal and WAN port on router. not sure internet connection type or VLAN Id number?

Re: Plusnet FFTP setup for TPlink Vr2800

@infinite  for FTTC you will also need vlan ID set to  101

Re: Plusnet FFTP setup for TPlink Vr2800

I have a TPLink Archer VR2800. I have upgraded to full fibre today and am trying to get my router to work with full fibre rather than using the one supplied by Plusnet. I have done the following things and I'm facing no internet connectivity; 

 

Set the operation mode from DSL modem router mode to Wireless Router Mode (I did this because it was expecting me to connect to a phone line which I no longer have)

Connection type:  PPPoE

Username and password same as works on the new plusnet router.

Vlan ID to 101

 

However, it will not connect. Any ideas?

@midnite VLAN ID is 'none' - it is not used with a Full Fibre connection.

@midnite 

From a google search.. " Does  The Archer VR2800 work with fibre broadband".

 

 

The Archer VR2800 has one DSL port and 4 ethernet ports, but no fibre port, to make it work, you need buy a fibre modem, so that we can connect it to the fibre cable provided by ISP and connect the modem to VR2800 and get internet.

Thanks @shutter . Although, AFAIK, the ONT is a 'modem'.

Re: Plusnet FFTP setup for TPlink Vr2800

I'm happy to get a new router etc. What do I need to look for in terms of it supporting full fibre.

 

Would something like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08C3VRM6M work? It has the lan2/p6 port on there which I believe is necessary.

 

Thanks in advance

@midnite I would wait for @MisterW or one of the other Community members who understand FF to respond before you take any action.

Re: Plusnet FFTP setup for TPlink Vr2800

and here he is!

@midnite The vr2800 should work fine in wireless router mode. Connect the ONT to lan port 4 (wan port ) configure pppoe and as@jab1  says , disable vlan id

If it doesn't work then try a factory reset and start by setting wireless router mode first.

The white box BT will have installed in place of your master socket.
