Moving to o2 - Linksys Router settings

Have just moved from Zen to o2 BB and wished to carry on using my Linksys router rather than use the "tacky" o2 supplied unit (last time I saw plastic of that quality, it had Tic-Tacs in it !)

I found that the o2 "idiots guide" to continue using your own router was obviously meant for more intelligent idiots than me !
They have missed out one very important point, set the encapsulation to:- "RFC1483Bridged".
Once you have done this it removes some settings that don't apply but o2 tell you to do things with.

.............then just do the following
Multiplexing method: LLC
VPI: 0
VCI; 101
DSL Modulation: ADSL2+
If no static IP address set to "Auto"
If static IP address enter figs supplied
NAT: enable

Very impressed with o2 so far. Download speed has doubled to 13mbs, upload speed has almost tripled to 1.1mbs - monthly fee down from £24.99 to £10 - real money saving !
