7700N and fibre broadband
Posted: Thu Oct 18, 2012 9:29 pm
I'm currently on ADSL2+ but am moving to fibre (PlusNet 80/20 with an estimated download of 57Mbps) on the 26th. The router that PN supply, Technicolor 582N, doesn't seem to get many good reviews so I am hoping to keep using my 7700N.
Obvious first question is, can anyone confirm it will work when connected to the BT supplied fibre modem.
As far as the 7700N is concerned, I know the username/password will need updating and the config changed to PPPoE - Always on, but are there any other settings that need to be changed? I had a quick play this morning and there seemed to be a lot of other options!
How about connecting to the modem. Can I use any one of the 4 LAN sockets or must I use LAN 1?
Thanks for any insights
