Oh, and in General Setup put in your VLAN tag if you need one (so long since I had adsl that I can't remember if it had one or not :oops: )

Have you tried connecting the 120 directly to a PC and setting up a PPPoE connection on the PC? That should at least tell you if your login credentials are being accepted.

If you've connected it directly to a PC (no router involvement) then all of the settings are done in the PC - e.g. in Windows (10) - Control Panel - Set up a new connection or network - Connect to the Internet - Connect using Broadband (PPPoE) - enter your credentials and there you go - if the 120 has been set to factory default it should then connect.

There should be no need to adjust any settings within the 120 itself - just like the old Openreach modem in that respect.

But really, you shouldn't need to faff about with a direct PC connection, it should work in just the same way if you fill in your credentials in the WAN2 PPPoE settings in the router.
