O2 Broadband was created by addanc
I am trying to configure the Vigor2710n for use with O2 broadband.
I have transfered the configuration used with a Netgear DG834G as close as I can , but I am unable to establish an Internet connection. In the "Online Status" page I have a green (Connected) ADSL layer and a red (Disconnected) WAN Status; so presumably the physical hardware is OK and the problem is a logical connection issue.
On the netgear their is no log-in configuration for the O2 broadband, and an "Account Name" of "O2 Home Broadband". The netgear help gives the following definition for "Account Name":
Does this "Account Name" map to the "ISP Name" on the "Internet Access"->"PPPoE/PPPoA" configuration page? If this is the case I cannot enter the name "O2 Home Broadband" into this field since it truncates at 15 characters.
Presumably since there is no log-in configuration for O2 broadband I just leave the "Username" and "Password" fields blank on the same page? There is no option to explicitly disable "Authentication"
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

(also known as Host Name or System Name)
For most users, type your account name or user name in this box. For example, if your main mail account isJerAB@ISP.com , then put JerAB in this box.
If your ISP has given you a specific Host name, then type it (for example, CCA7324-A).
