Hi guys and gals, I’m pulling my hair out here.Ive spent a fortune on this router but can’t get it working at all.Im probably not as clued up as you guys so be kind I really need help. I’m vdsl fibr...
Does your modem need PPoE? Which means, do you need to enter credentials like a username and password?
If so, make sure you do this on the router?
If you connect directly to your BT hub, do you get Internet?

- Thanks for reply I’m not on by fibre I live in Hull we have a seperate telephone exchange who also supply our fibre lightstream.Im currently using a Technicolor modem router.im pretty sure you do need to sign in but the modem which is a bit openreach modem I was told in a netgear forum would work for vdsl from the cabinet which I am.Ive no settings for this it’s just plug and play lol.Need help setting it up on XR500 as I don’t know what I’m doing.
What model router is it? Has it a setting called bridge mode?
- Hi
No it’s just a basic modem no bells or whistles.I thought bridge mode was only for modem routers??Its a bt openreach modem
Can you confirm your service is not pure fibre, I thought Lightstream was pure fibre only? In which case you would have to use the router you have but change settings, are you sure you have FTTC (Fibre from the cabinet)
- 100% vdsl fibre from the cabinet which this modem supports
