Switching to FTTC was created by jm_paulin
Hi,

I am about to switch to FTTC in the near future (BT Infinity). I know this is VDSL2 and that BT supplies a modem. I was wondering if I can plug the BT modem straight into the WAN2 of the Draytek 2820.

Anyone knows if that works?

Thanks

Jean-Marc

If the supplied modem has an ethernet port and supports PPPoE then it should.

Plug in to any ethernet WAN port and set up the connection as PPPoE on the router (username & password requireD). It works well - I'm using this config on a Vigor2910.

Yes the BT infinity router DOES connect to WAN 2 on the 2820 and does PPPoE passthru, just like a v120

We have just set this up on ours, and it works great!

I've setup my 2820 to use infinity, all OK. However I can't get the IPSEC VPN to work now. Anyone managed ot do this?
