Deco XE75 and Vodafone set up help

[alancane]

Hi 

Does anyone have all the input details on setting up a DECO XE75 with Vodafone Fibre. I have the PPPoe username and password as I am using a TP Link router at the moment, but wanting to switch over to a faster mesh. The details are the same and I add them, but it's still glowing red, so something isn't right in the set up. I was told to add VLAN 901 (though my current set up doesnt have it) and it doesn't work - with or without. If someone has got over this issue with the set up, I would be most grateful!

@alancane Have a look in this thread https://forum.vodafone.co.uk/t5/Other-broadband-queries/How-to-Set-up-a-third-party-router-with-voda...

Thanks. I've already been through this thread for when I was setting up but to no avail.

I don't know why Vodafone keep giving 901 at the VLAN, it isn't correct for either Openreach or CityFibre.

As the setup should be very similar to the previous TP-Link, is it possible you are misreading the username and password from wherever you saved them. Try copy and pasting them from the current one to a txt file, and copy and paste into the new one.

Thanks - thats what I thought so put them in manually, no copy and paste etc and they were correct but still didn't work.

Anyone able to give any further advice at all or recommend a company that can come fix these kinds of things?
