Connecting a fritzbox to fiber.

[Markus111]

Hi there got my username and password from Vodafone. Followed instructions to set up my fritzbox as the main router. Copied and pasted username and password, enables vlan and set to 101. Enabled pppoe passthrough in the settings but I can't get it to connect to internet. 

Is there anything in missing out on? There's other settings and stuff I received from VF that I can't see in the fritzbox user interface ect set encapsulation protocol, framing....

Help would be much appreciated thanks

VLANID for Cityfibre is 911, for openreach fttc 101 and openreach fttp it's not used.

Hi thanks for reply. Ok so I'm open reach fttp, so should i try it not enabling the vlan? What about pppoe? Thanks

PPPoE encapsulation is necessary so yes, use your PPPoE details. Yes, disable VLAN, or leave VLANID blank.
