My Plusnet Fibre will be installed in a few days and I would like to use my Billion Bipac 7800N as router. Could others, who successfully set up this router, please confirm the following settings:
1. Set Main Port to EWAN. Then restart the router.
2. Select PPPoE (keep NAT enabled, DNS select to Automatic, leave MTU as default 1492, leave IP as 0.0.0.0, enter Username [*@plusdsl.net] and password, leave auth protocol set to auto, and save)
3. Restart the router.
Is it necessary or recommended to reset back to factory default settings before configuring the router for FTTC?
The router is currently running firmware 1.06g. However, the latest firmware is 1.06h. Is it worthwhile updating to the latest version? Has anyone noticed any improvements or problems with 1.06h? I am asking because there are reports of 1.06h blanking the dhcp addresses assigned table and the router sometimes not passing data between the Ewan and the LAN, which can only be fixed by a restart.
