mark Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Hi I just changed my internet to plus net from sky I previously was with bt is the setup with plus net the same as the bt setup or could some one link me into the setup guide for plus net thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG__DOG Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 plusnet is pppoe the same as bt (bt own plusnet). The pppoe login however is not the same as bt, bt pppoe is generic and the same login applies to all it's users. There are a few plusnet members on here and I am sure that they can shed more light on your login details if that is what you are after, but if you are just asking is it the same setup generally as bt then yes it is!

BENORMOUS Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I think the plusnet pppoe details are something like your login details on your plusnet account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 11, 2017 Administrators Share Posted October 11, 2017 Would just reiterate the above, other than PPPoE its the same process, R1 in DMZ and Plusnet WiFi off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 username is [email protected] password (both of these are the same details you use to access the member centre) if you have the openreach modem you can hook the R1 directly to it. On the WAN page use PPPoe and enter above login details, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on BT and can get online just by putting my Netduma in the Smart Hub's DMZ. Is the WAN PPPoE login the "proper" way of connecting with BT to another router? Or is it just another way of achieving the same goal, like choosing to use UPnP rather than manually port forwarding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The home hub does the PPPoE authentication for you, if you have a modem that does not authenticate then you would need to set up the duma to authenticate instead. How you have it is fine.

I read Home Hubs have bridge/modem mode but my Smart Hub does not, so I wasn't sure if maybe I was missing out on a potentially "more optimal" method of connecting. Still learning lol... praise the gaming gods for networking wizards like the one and only Zennon haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
