Vigor VDSL2 Modems - Dynamic IP

These instructions will explain how to configure the router to use the DrayTek modem to connect to the ISP.

It is necessary to connect the modem to the Ethernet WAN port of the Ethernet router once the modem has been configured. The router would then establish the internet connection to the ISP through the modem.

1. Connect your computer directly to the modem's LAN port and access the DrayTek modem's web interface via your web browser, which will be accessible on http://192.168.2.1 by default. Enter the username of "admin" and the default password of "admin".

2. Browse to [Internet Access] > [General Setup], set the VLAN Tag insertion (VDSL2) setting to Enable. Set the Tag Value to 10.
The DSL mode can be set to "VDSL2 only" to speed up sync times but this is not required.
Click OK on that page to apply the changes.

3. Go to [Internet Access] > [MPoA / Static or Dynamic IP], select the Enable radio button at the top of the page to ensure that the MPoA (RFC1483/2684) bridge mode is enabled.

Click OK on this page to apply the changes and the modem will then prompt to restart. Click OK to restart the modem.

4. Connect the modem's LAN port to your router's Ethernet WAN port and set the router's WAN interface to receive an IP via DHCP.

Vigor VDSL2 Routers - Fixed IP

These instructions will explain how to configure the DrayTek router to connect to the ISP and establish an Internet connection.

The configuration in this guide requires connecting the VDSL2 line to the DrayTek router's WAN1 DSL port and the DSL LED should be continually lit on the router to indicate that it has sync with the line.

1. Access the DrayTek router's web interface via your web browser, which will be accessible on http://192.168.1.1 by default. Enter the username of "admin" and the default password of "admin".

2. Browse to [WAN] > [General Setup], click [WAN1] and set the VLAN Tag insertion (VDSL2) setting to Enable and set the Tag value to 10.
The DSL mode can be set to "VDSL2 only" to speed up sync times but this is not required.
Click OK on that page to apply the changes.

3. Go to [WAN] > [Internet Access], set the WAN1 mode to PPPoE / PPPoA and click the Details Page button to proceed:

4. Select the Enable radio button at the top of the page to ensure that the PPPoE interface is enabled. Input the username into the Username field and password in the Password field, as required.

The Service Name does not need to be specified.

Click OK on this page to apply the changes and the router will then prompt to restart. Click OK to restart the router.
