SKY FTTP - happy apart from no PPOE

Finally went live with 500mbit FTTP from SKY today. It's amazing it has finally happened, I organised a Gigabit voucher scheme campaign last year. We literally hit the deadline just before we would no longer be eligible.

Mega happy with the speeds my only disappointment is I have to use the Sky router and can't just connect via PPOE with my Ubiquiti Amplifi Alien router. With my FTTC service I just disabled the wifi on the Sky router but annoyingly with the latest model even when disabled it still shows up. Hoping thats just a bug with the firmware.

Sky use DHCP/IPoE rather than PPPoE for authentication.

I know. I was hoping for FTTP it might be different, but unfortunately not.

Cant you set the client ID under DHCP option 61 in your router to authenticate?

You don't get a lot of options unfortunately. This is the options I get:

What happens if you change "Network Type"?

Can you not select another “network type” from the drop down at the top of the page, like simply DHCP?

PPPoE is the incorrect network type in this scenario.

I am currently using DHCP but plugged into the Sky router.
