I have bought a Vigor2860 router to replace the one that Talk Talk supplied. I cant get online. Talk Talk say they cant provide me with a username and password for their service. Has anyone else had similar problems getting online with a Talk Talk fibre optic service?

to set the 2860 with TT try this

wan>general setup > wan 1
- Vlan ID tag - 101
- Always on , Enable

WAN 1 -- Internet access
select MPoA/Static or Dynamic IP (under Access Mode) and
click Details page. On MPoA/Static or Dynamic IP page make sure that
'Enable' button is selected and click 'Obtain an IP address
automatically' button and press OK and set MTU 1492

Alternative check at their forums, some guys are helping or use the one from the old TT modem

When i was with TT long time i always was using my on line account (ex-tiscali) xxx @tiscali.co.uk but i think now it does not need, ask at their forums i am vey sure few others using 3rd part modems with TT fibre
