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...

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.

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.
