Note: You cannot just use any of these devices on any line type: There are combinations that will work, and combinations that will not. You MUST read the link above. In short, BT lines can auto-detect PPPoA or PPPoE, so will work with pretty much anything. BE lines on the other hand are hard-coded to either PPPoE OR PPPoA. For a BE PPPoE line, a simple bridge mode router like the ZyXEL is the correct choice. For a BE PPPoA line, you need a device that can do true PPPoA on the wire <-> PPPoE on the LAN to the FB. The Vigour 120 is one of the only devices that can do this. |
