Hi Netduma Team and Community,
I’m reaching out for some assistance with getting my R2 router connected to Zen Full Fibre broadband. Here’s a summary of my setup and the issues I’m facing:
I purchased the R2 router back in 2021. Initially, I was using it with BT as my ISP, but due to some connection issues, I packed it away after about a year. Recently, we switched to Zen Full Fibre broadband with a 500/500 Mbps speed, and I decided to give the R2 another shot, hoping it would perform better with a full fibre connection.
Here’s my setup and what I’ve done so far:
Updated Firmware: I downloaded the latest firmware (3.3.280) and updated the R2 router.
Current ISP & Setup: Zen is now our ISP, and the ONT box is connected to a Fritzbox 7530ax router. After speaking with Zen, they confirmed I could connect my ONT directly to the R2 (via WAN port) and bypass the Fritzbox.
Initial Setup: I connected the ONT to the R2’s WAN port, performed a factory reset to start fresh, and launched the setup wizard.
Issue: When I tried running the setup wizard, it detected no internet connection. I checked the forums, and per advice from Frazier and other posts, I skipped the wizard setup and manually entered the PPPoE credentials in the WAN section. However, despite following all instructions and troubleshooting suggestions, I still have no internet connection.
I would appreciate any guidance on what I might be missing or further steps I could take to resolve this issue. I’d love to get my R2 fully up and running with Zen as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide!
