Belkin Router Setup

[Fatbloke75]

Hi there, I have a Belkin F6D4630-4 v2 router and I need to set it up as my vodafone router died last night.

I have the username and password from Vodafone but do not seem to be able to get an internet connection.

The last part of the username is @homebroadband.co.uk but I've read on the forums that people are using @broadband.vodafone.co.uk. Which is it.

I've aslo read that you need to set the VLAN to 101, the belkin unit does not have this feature.

Any help would be appreciated.

just a thought is that a  VDSL2/ADSL2modem/router compatible vodafone router

Good question, I'll look into it and let you know.

It's an ADSL modem and will not work with a Vodafone VDSL FTTC connection.

But it should work if you want to use it to boost your wifi etc as a second router connected to the first adsl2/fttp router
