Can't set VCI / VPI / PPPoE LLC
Hello.
I have a FTTH connection. My ISP installed the ONT and a router. I want to remove the ISP router and use my Orbi.
Problem: I have to set certain VCI and VPI values and I can't find where to do it within the Orbi settings. I also have to choose LLC type under PPPoe, and again I can't find how to do it anywhere.
Those three terms seem to be of common use, but I can't even find them mentioned in the user manual.
Up to now, I haven't been able to use my Orbi as my main router, and I don't want to use it just as an access point.
Thanks for your time.
As it turns out, the spanish forums were fast and reliable. I needed the VLAN which I already had setup and NO USER/PASSWORD.
Niiiiiiiiice. Silly, but niiiiiiiiice.
I'm already posting with just the ONT + Orbi.
Thanks for the help, I've learned a few things through the issue.

Possible that the Orib may not support your ISP configration, so you may need to keep the ISP router and use the Orbi as a router in the ONTs DMS or configure the Orbi in AP mode.
Modem Combo Units:
Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router.I suggest you try options 2 or 3.
Thanks for the quick answer.
I am a bit disappointed by the possibility of the Orbi not supporting my ISP settings. As far as I know, they're quite normal and comparable to many other ISP around here.
Today I will try your second option, I think it has the best advatages. As long as I get the speed and the drops stop I'll be pleased.
As a side note: today I also disabled CG-NAT with my ISP and now I have a normal public and dynamic IP address. Do you believe having CG-NAT might have been a problem when trying to set the Orbi as the only router after the ONT? I might try it again.
Thanks.

Let us into the secret as to who this ISP is and maybe a fellow customer can help.
As you say, most ISPs use standard settings.
