Setting up 7800N for fibre BB?

Can someone talk me through how to change the setup of my Billion 7800N so that it works with Fibre Broadband (Zen Internet/BT Fibre); or point me to a good tutorial online on how to set it up. I am having Fibre BB fitted next week and I want to have the setting sussed for when the BT engineer arrives.

I know that the Openreach modem that he fits will connect to the Billion EWAN port and that the current ADSL cable will be disconnected;
but what needs setting up in the router browser GUI?

Thanks
NigelS

Follow these steps

1. Login to the routers interface (basic menu)
2. Click on 'WAN' on the left hand side
3. Change the 'Profile/Main port' to 'EWAN'
4. Set the 'Protocol' to PPPOE
5. Enter your ISP broadband username and password in the sections provided
6. Click on 'Apply'
7. The 7800N will now save your settings and reboot

Once rebooted you should have a internet connection.

Hello

How do you access the Billion admin when the openreach modem is there?
