In reply to a post by E7er:

the TP-Link TD-W8980 ADSL2+ router will not work connected to the BT Openreach modem.

You are wrong. It's working as designed.

Spent a good while setting this up myself so thought I'd share how this is done with EE broadband and the TP-Link TD-W8980 router.

First off, there is no preset config for an ASDL connection to EE so you'll need to select 'Other' on the xDSL setup step and enter details manually.

Key things are:

- PPPoA
- VPI = 0
- VCI = 38

All works fine after that. Well, does for me. Seeing good speeds as well...certainly a strong 'domestic' router.

Yes, those settings are pretty standard for most UK ISPs' ADSL BB & for EE are to be found in EE Home Broadband settings under "Advanced internet settings".

However the OP was on Fibre BB, so none of your settings apply!
