How to set up a PPPOE internet connection on your router

[@almuhairi_ue]

Thank you for this information, but how do I make the other router a provider only because it has PPPoE activated, so how do I cancel it?

Normally the old router would not be required. The idea is that your third party router replaces the old one. If you do have two routers for whatever reason then you would not need to use PPPoE on the second router it would most likely be a static ip or DHCP.

What do the PPPoE credentials actually provide the third party router? IP addresses too? I have a BT Smart Hub 2 which I'm about swap out. Logging onto it, it lists my broadband address of 81.x.y.z a default gateway of 172.x.y.z and my LAN side is the typical 192 address range. Will those be replicated across? I assume I'd need to manually change the LAN side to match my current range on the router? Great videos on your channel btw. I've now subscribed

The PPPoE settings are just to connect to the internet. What you do with your LAN is entirely up to you. With PPPoE you will receive an IP address from your ISP normally. Thanks for watching!

Vodafone gave me the pppoe info without fuss on the chat. They can also change that on the VF router as they did when I changed to FTTP. So I have to ask them for the new one

does ee brodband support this option because in the website doesnt say anything about it either in the hub when i log in

EE is BT so the credentials are the same. They have info on their website here ee.co.uk/help/broadband/getting-started/using-and-configuring-a-third-party-router
