Netgear XR300 internet connection not working
Hey guys, where do I find the following settings on the new DumaOS? Connection type: PPPoA (PPPoATM) VCI = 38, VPI = 0 Encapsulation: VCMUX Modulation: G.DMT RFC: 2364 Network type: WAN...
Your Openreach modem should take care of most of this.
On your XR300, choose PPPoE as your connection type, enter your username as bthomehub@btbroadband.com and enter your password as BT
Hey Alex, that worked thanks! Actually BT gave me the wrong login credentials haha...Should've posted here first. Didn't think that the solution would be so easy...For anyone interested: I even published a review about the XR300 (in German) on my blog here.
Some nice pictures and stuff in there, for anyone who wants a bit more info on that router (and knows german ;)).
Anyway thanks for the help man!
That's alright, i'm glad it worked!
I actually had the same problem setting up my own router at home. I was wracking my brain for hours before realizing you just need to give it the BT login details. Obviously the Home Hub has those details built in, so i'd never had to enter them before.
Interestingly enough, apparantly the password field doesn't even matter. People just put in 'BT' because some routers don't like it being blank.
