Nighthawk D8500 NBN FTTC Setup

[alexwar]

Netgear Community

Enviroment:
Nighthawk D8500
Australia
Provider TPG using NBN FTTC (which is VDSL)

The expensive D8500 is running as a Wireless Acess Point connected to a basic DLink which was provided by the ISP
(Archer VR 1600v). Not ideal.
I dont need the VoIP port and would like to run the D8500 as a Modem as Router.
The feedback was that is possible (looking at some forums)
Make sure athentication is on, VLANID is selected =2 and of course WAN via Ethernert is selected.

I heard there is a bug on PPPoE setup and we need to sync:
community.tpg.com.au/t5/NBN-Installation/Netgear-D8500-FTTC-Setup/m-p/70197#M10812

After all that not working.  Appreciate any advice you may have.

The trouble is that FTTC means different things to different people.

What is an NBN network and is my NETGEAR DSL modem router compatible? | Answer | NETGEAR Support
