belly120 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 ok so my new plusnet fibre extra connection is set to go live soon. up to 74 down and 19 up. yay for me lol anyhow, its a pppoe based connection, i have my login details and vlan settings etc, can i drop my billion 8800nl which will work and just use the duma as the solo router and get the higher speeds out of it? if so what will my setup be, will i need turbo mode etc enabled? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A7Legit Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 You might want to keep the 8800NL for PPPoE and DMZ the R1 and have everything running off of that (R1) to benefit from your gaming and everyday use also. I doubt you'd need Turbo mode, but the truth is, you won't know until you try, all it takes is one mouse click to find out. I have 115Mbps on the down and without Turbo mode I get about 84-85Mbps on the down, so whilst in theory I shouldn't have it enabled, I do because I lose 30Mbps without it (pings are the same).

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 12, 2016 Administrators Share Posted August 12, 2016 You should be able to go modem > R1 with PPPoE just fine, your speeds shouldn't be limited by this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
