Cant set up 2850 with bt infinity was created by zz9pa
It doesnt seem to connect at all!
I've updated to the latest firmware - and have the 80/20 service enabled..

I've managed to hook it up via the bthomehub for now (hence the WAN2 connection) - but can anyone take a look at these settings and tell me where I've gone wrong ?





Many thanks in advance

I don't think you want that PPPoE pass-through (unless you are doing the authentication on your computer instead of the 2850). Also, in my brief test with a 2850 I found I had to set Fallback Mode to 'Auto'.

That said, be aware of the consequences of bypassing the Openreach modem... I'd strongly advise you speak with BT first.

I bought the router from bt :)

Can you elaborate on the "consequences of bypassing the Openreach modem." ?

As it has been explained to me, BT require their Openreach modem to be on the line. They have automatic processes in place to monitor performance and, e.g., push out firmware updates. If they don't find the expected modem in place then, at some stage, there is a good chance your broadband service will be suspended.
