   Hold on --the DSl light is green on adsl but orange on vdsl2.   Steady orange means you have a sync.

Oh yes - got a sync (well, it displays the up/down status).  Just can't do anything internet related (it also states that there is a problem connecting).

  I can only suggest checking the guide settings and your isp login details.  If says it can't connect the problem should be there.

MrTAToad, you are using username@plusdsl.net as the username, rather than just username?

I had a similar issue, turned out that the OR engineer hadn't properly signed the job off and as a result the PN system wasn't recognising the logon. Plusnet were able to fix it over the phone.

Oh yes - tried both actually...

Internet connection with the standard Technicolour router is fine.  The only think I can think of is that the Zxyel router can't handle some special characters (&) I use in my router password...

Surely it's just a case of changing your password to test that theory?

Then the Technicolour router will need changing too, along with the PlusNet account stuff and everything...

Nope...

I changed the Plus.Net password (and it seems to have caused "problems" with the Technicolour router), but the Zxyel one seems to now be working...

I just had a thought, the first time I attempted to connect, the network icon in my sys tray told me that I didnt have an internet connection.. when I really did.   I think Windows gets a bit confused if you swap between a combined dsl router and a router with a separate modem.   Its probably something to do with how it sees the network routing.

If you go to the network troubleshooter and let it search for and fix problems, that may solve it.  However I actually made a separate network connection from scratch, so I now have 'Network 1' for the TG582n & HG612 modem and 'Network 2' for the ZyXel.

The Technicolour one was stating that there were authentication problems - however it always takes a long time to get itself sorted.

It all seems to be working fine - the only slight problem is that one of the households Samsung Android devices wont connect.  I suspect its because the router is using a mixed mode - and it is :)

I will be sending it back - the number of times the router sticks on a "Loading" screen is way too many.  I also had it hang on me too...
