Re: Modem Settings for Billion Router

Hello,

I've bought a Billion BiPAC 8900AX 2400 (Modem/Router) and need settings for BT Fibre 1.

In the manual I read:

Information from your ISP

Before configuring this device, you have to check with your ISP (Internet Service Provider) to find out what kind of service is provided. Gather the information as illustrated in the following table and keep it for reference.

PPPoE(RFC2516)	VPI/VCI, VC / LLC-based multiplexing, Username, Password, Service Name, and Domain Name System (DNS) IP address (it can be automatically assigned by your ISP when you connect or be set manually).
PPPoA(RFC2364)	VPI/VCI, VC / LLC-based multiplexing, Username, Password and Domain Name System (DNS) IP address (it can be automatically assigned by your ISP when you connect or be set manually).
DHCP Client	VPI/VCI, VC / LLC-based multiplexing, Domain Name System (DNS) IP address (it can be automatically assigned by your ISP when you connect or be set manually).
IPoA(RFC1577)	VPI/VCI, VC / LLC-based multiplexing, IP address, Subnet mask, Gateway address, and Domain Name System (DNS) IP address (it is a fixed IP address).
Pure Bridge	VPI/VCI, VC / LLC-based multiplexing to use Bridged Mode.

Many thanks!

The briefest of searches of the forum or Google would reveal that the generic PPPoE details of username bthomehub@btbroadband.com and password BT have been posted countless times.

Thank you, I knew these two.

But what about the other settings (table)...?

BTW Shall I enable "IPv6"? (screenshot)

Are you on FTTP or FTTC as BT Fibre 1 suggests FTTC ? FTTC may be VDSL

Thanks,

I have Fibre 1/FTTC and I've already set it to VDSL.

Not that it's not working, I just want to optimise the settings.
