Hi, please can anyone help me how to set up Bipac 8800AXL R2 for BT fibre FTPP. I wanted to keep it and don't want to use the supplied router as there is no qos. My fibre will be installed in couple of weeks and wanted to make sure that my billion router will work on the first day. Thanks in advance to anyone who will help me.

I think you mean a FTTP connection
BT should install a modem for you, you can connect this modem to the 8800AXL EWAN port.
Then run though the quick start option and setup the device for a Ethernet >>> PPPoE connection with your BT username and password entered.

Hi, thanks for your reply. So it's PPPoE not the Ip over ethernet? Do I need to change the WAN port to "ethernet" as well? and are there any settings I need to change? Thank you again in advance I really appreciate your help.

Yes its a Ethernet >>> PPPoE connection that's needed, if you have any port forwarding rules, they will need to be removed and added again with the new Ethernet >> PPPoE WAN interface selected (when adding the port forwarding rule)
