YESSSSSSS!!!
Thanks to the huge help given by bishbashbosh the SRX300 has been hacked
(lots of virtual hugs mate
)
Fed the extracted username & pw into the PPPoE WAN box on my R9000 and bingo! the R9000 is able to obtain an internet connection direct to the Openreach ONT unit. But....
My IP address has changed (I am supposed to be on an ipv4 static) so I guess its only a matter of time before the ISP finds out that I'm no longer using the SRX300. If/when they get in touch I will grovel to them to let me use my own kit....
Once again thanks to bishbashbosh, burakkucat, ignitionet, uderzone, 4uture and others
