Non Talktalk router not connecting to Fibre65

Keykey — Sun, 26 Jan 2025 21:14:25 GMT

I have been asked to help connect a DrayTek 2830 modem/router to a Fibre 65 Talktalk package(FTTC)

The Talktalk router connects normally but when I plug in the same wire and plug from the filter, the DrayTek DSL light flashes fast indicating it cannot connect

Inputing the Talktalk credentials

phone number at tt dot net plus

PPP OVER ATM(PPoA) using VC-MUX. etc doesn’t work

Any ideas?

The account was originally with tiscali if that is any help

many thanks

Hi,

Have you followed the fibre set up described here?

From your comments it seems you are using the bon fibre Instructuons.

I assumed the fact it comes down the phone line from the cabinet to the house meant I should use the “non fibre” credentials

I will try the fibre ones

It still doesn’t answer why the dsl lights is flashing rather than solid

Thanks

TalkTalk has long used remote authentication so look for settings relating to IPoE with DHCP, or similar.

Just had a quick search on the internet for the 2830 and it looks like it only has an ADSL/ADSL2+ modem built in so won't be able to connect to VDSL (FTTC) services.
