BT FTTC + DM200 Modem + RAX80
Hi - I'm having problems setting up the RAX80 with a DM200 Modem and BT Infinity (VDSL / FTTC). The DM200 is set up and seems to be OK - I've set it in bridge only mode. The issue is then connecting the RAx80 - I have a white internet light but it's not making the connection.
I'm using -

Where did that come from?
That's a local address. And one that BT uses for its nasty modem/routers.
The Internet IP Address setting is Get Dynamically from ISP.

Is that BT's DNS? Or something you chose?
Those are BT's DNS. Should I be leaving that as dynamic as well?
Your call.
Some people like to use Google (8.8.8.8) or something else that claims to be faster, but that should have no effect on the operation of your modem.
