welcome aboard.

[GigabitEthernet]

Any advice for me when I receive it (tomorrow: Amazon Prime)?

[Chrysalis]

just make sure is a 30+ min gap between unplugging the hg612 and connecting the billion.

[GigabitEthernet]

It's not going well. I cannot get the 8800NL to sync...

[burakkucat]

A complete guess by me, because I have absolutely no idea of how you are attempting to configure the device, but ensure that you have set up a vlan tagged with the ID 101 . . . 

If all else fails, take a look at how an HG612 is configured.

I'm trying it out as a router first, with PTM selected (VDSL).

I'm trying it out as a router first,

Ah, I see. 

with PTM selected (VDSL).

And now I don't see.    The settings for the modem has no relevance on configuring the device as just a router. 

[GigabitEthernet]

The 8800NL is going to perform the routing and modem duties. It is a one-box solution.

   The kitz guide for the Zyxel may help- http://www.kitz.co.uk/routers/zyxel_VMG8324-B10A_vdsl_setup.htm . The GUI is not the same but key things are there.

Mine just worked out of the box using the quick start menu and following the instructions summarised below from the Plusnet Forums hence the Plusnet specific details

8800NL Setup

In the QUICK START menu:
WAN Interface    ( WAN  >  Wireless )
Main Port = DSL
Layer 2 Interface = PTM (VDSL)
Type = PPPoE
WAN IP Address = Obtain an IP Address Automatically
Click Continue.

WAN Interface    ( WAN  >  Wireless )  2nd Screen.
WAN Service.
Type = PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)
Username = *********@plusdsl.net (******** = your username that you login in with)
Password = The one you login with.
Service Name = Plusnet (Can be blank)
Authentication Method = CHAP (Can be AUTO, but found it works better if you select CHAP)
IPv4 Address = Static (UNCHECKED)
IP Address = Will be blanked out unless above is checked in which case enter your IP address.
IPv6 for this service = Enable (UNCHECKED)
MTU = 1492
Click Continue & WAIT for about 15-20 seconds, if you've done it all correctly it will connect.

You certainly shouldn't be entering your IP address (static IP I presume). You get assigned the same one each time your connection us re-established.

[GigabitEthernet]

But the ISP connection for me is irrelevant as the 8800NL won't even sync

[les-70]

  The Billion can have vdsl disabled but it is normally enabled by default.  Equally it should be in modem and router mode not be in a router only ppoe mode.

 You also might try changing the adsl lead.  I had (now binned) a modem lead that worked with the HG612 but not with the ECI/r or other modems.  It was due to a slight defect in the plastic channels that the RJ11 connectors sit in, so basically depending on tolerances it sometimes simply failed to connect.

  You could post screen shots of the settings so they can be checked.

I have the same router on the same ISP. I had to change a couple of the PTM settings from the default for it to work. I have attached what works for me

[GigabitEthernet]

Nobody's understanding that those settings won't make the router sync
