Setup RBR850 PPPoE

[Jclayson]

I am having difficulty setting up my Orbi router RBR850. I have a FTTP connection and the ORBI router is connected by Ethernet cable to the ONT. I need to set up PPPoE which requires a username and password, however, I do not have this, and on the PPPoE settings for my previous Linksys router this was blank.

Any ideas how I might resolve this?

Many Thanks!

   It would, I'd expect.

   If you didn't use PPPoE with a previous router, and you don't have
the credentials, then my guess would be that you shouldn't use PPPoE
with your new router.

   Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation.  Get the User Manual (at least).  Read.  Look for
"Specify Your Internet Settings", and, in particular, "Specify an
Internet connection without a login".

   In any case, your (unspecified) ISP should be able to tell you what
the right configuration is, even if they're unwilling/unable to provide
the Netgear-specific how-to details.
