Anyone know which settings to use for these?

The scenario is an 8800NL being set up for standard VDSL operation (initially in wired mode, as opposed to wireless). That's to say, no special bridging arrangement - it'd be 'in at the front end as VDSL, and straight out at the other end via the four RJ45 ports'. The 8800 would be configured to PPPoE and the VLAN ID would be BT's 0/101, I gather.

However, I see that there are a number of Advanced settings available and, for these, I'm wondering if someone could tell me which values to choose for the following:-

802.1P Priority (dropdown menu choice)
VDSL2 Profile (selectable from a list; 17a, by any chance?)

And would this sort of PPPoE operation be classed as Pass-Through, or not?

802.1P Priority - 0
VDSL2 Profile - leave all profile ticked (8a 8b 8c 8d 12a 12b 17a)

Pass through mode is normally when another device obtains a WAN IP from the Billion, eg Sonicwall, Watchdog etc (Bridging mode). For a normal home setup, with the 8800 doing all the routing etc, this will not be needed (it will only be needed if you connect to a sonicwall, watchdog, another router, and you want the other device to do all the routing, and 8800NL will work as a modem only)

Excellent! Thanks for that, billion_fan.
