Moving to o2 - Linksys Router settings

moonrakerz

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 !
