How to use your own router with O2 Broadband

This tutorial tells you how you can use your own router on O2 Broadband

Although O2 supplies a fairly good wireless router some people like to use their own. That is perfectly OK with O2 - it's just they can't offer support on anything other than their own router. If that's fine by you, here are the settings:

• ISP name: O2 Home Broadband
• Multiplexing method: LLC-Based
• VPI: 0
• VCI: 101
• Username: leave blank
• Password: leave blank
• Domain name: leave blank
• IP address type: this depends on whether you chose our static IP address option or not:
• - If you didn’t choose O2's static IP address option, set this to dynamic IP
• - If you did choose O2's static IP address, enter the IP address printed in your welcome letter
• DNS servers: choose to get these dynamically from the Internet provider
• NAT: enable

If you router offers the facility to "spoof" its MAC address, then change it to the same as your supplied O2 Box. That way the initial login/authentication will be faster.
