Curious kitteh needs to know . . .

Was the installation performed by a member of Black Sheep's flock or did you have to show a sub-contractor the correct way how to do it?  ::)

It was Mr Quinn. He seemed a bit bemused by the fact that he didn't have to do anything at my end of the line, but he was quite happy to go with the flow.

Out of interest, I take it he still left you with an OR modem?  If so which one?

I bet he was ecstatic at landing a job like Erics.  For the contractors, time is money and the sooner they can get out the better.  I bet he thought it was his lucky day :D

I think that plusnet supply the modem/router directly, but when I ordered the upgrade I opted not to receive this. The guy didn't offer a modem and I didn't think to ask.

What you still doing on the forum, Eric ?? You should be hosting a 20-man 'World of War-craft' battle, whilst downloading all the latest box-sets from SKY.  ;) :)

Plusnet shipped my router..  but the Quinn contractor dished out my modem.

Yes, as far as I'm aware and from personal experience, only we supply the VDSL Modem.  :)

can the billion 8800 do bridge mode?

I would buy that zyxel that kitz likes if I can use it as only a modem.

That is what i am doing.

The Zyxel is replacing the OR Modem and I use an Asus RT-AC56U for all the rest, just plug the Asus into one of the Gigabit Ethernet ports on the Zyxel.
The idea was to use the Asus so that the modem NEVER needs to be touched and hence avoid DLM problems due to reboots or hangs etc.
Even if the ASUS has problems or hangs I can simply reboot and it does not touch the Zyxel.
I am also running the 'Asuswrt-Merlin' firmware on the ASUS which improves the functionality no end.

(See http://forums.smallnetbuilder.com/forumdisplay.php?f=42)

Someone else uses Asus Routers and 'Asuswrt-Merlin' and has mentioned it on kitz but I forget where.
