      Draytek 2820n on Sky Fibre Unlimited

      Ok I have done alot of reading regaurding skys new fiber & non-sky routers..

      I have been with sky for a couple of years now on their normal adsl using an old username & password from an old netgear router bought off ebay.. I got my Draytek working fine by using the mac address & user/pass, this worked fine all this time.
      (I use to run a second line using BT Infinity with the Draytek & openreach modem which worked fine)

      2 days ago I got my fiber upgrade an the sagem router with the openreach modem setup. Tried to get the Draytek and the openreach modem to work but I cant seem to get any connection using settings:

      Connection Type: MER / MPoA (RFC1483/2684)
      Encapsulation: Bridged IP VC-Mux
      VPI: 0
      VCI: 40

      Has anyone cracked the mer yet?? or got the Draytek 2820n working on a fiber connection???..
      Any info will be great.

      nvm contacted Draytek an got a beta firmware (3.3.7.2 RC3a) for the Vigor 2820n an after doing the options its connected!!
      Still using the Sky modem as the 2820n only supports adsl but it has a connection an im back on the net woohoo!
      Made this post using this setup Now my Sky router is going in the bin!! best place for it, I think you'd agree :evil:

      THANKYOU Draytek!!!!
