Fritz Box 3490 - Plusnet 80/20 settings
« on: January 11, 2018, 02:42:20 PM »

got a Fritz Box 3490 that is currently configured for Plusnet ADSL.
it will be changing to Plusnet FTTC 80/20.

what connections will need to be changed once the FTTC goes live?

I have set my MTU to 1500, to be honest I don't see much fragmentation with this setting.

is that only specific to IPv6 though?
i have that option disabled as ISP doesn't support IPv6.

the current settings for ADSL on the box are

vlan-id : disabled
vpi : 0
vci : 38
pppoe

the plusnet link about connection settings doesn't say anything about vpi and vci.
only the vlan-id

Vpi and vci only apply to ADSL connections and VLAN-id is only for FTTC.

Correct. VPI & VCI are for ADSL which uses Asynchronous Transfer Mode protocol (ATM) so I suspect any values in those fields would not be relevant. FTTC uses Packet Transfer Mode (PTM) with a Vlan id.

the migrate happens on 18/01
if i stick in the vlan ID value just now (whilst it's still ADSL), will that stop ADSL working?
just thinking that if the setting is already there then when the migrate happens and the connection drops the router will reconnect and have the FTTC setting already in place.

I can't answer that question, I know some routers such as BT HomeHubs can switch between ADSL and VDSL2 without user intervention, I guess they must try both modes when attempting to connect. I use the HG612 Openreach Modem which is not automatic and by default is VDSL2 only, before I had FTTC I had to reconfigure it to connect to my ADSL service. I don't know if having the VLAN-id enabled will upset the ADSL connection, there's only one way to find out, give it a try, what can possibly go wrong. :)
