Has anyone done this at all? One of our branch offices is getting Infinity next week. We use Draytek 2820's to VPN them all together and this site has a 2830.

From googling around, its a case of disabling WAN1 (ADSL) & WAN3 (3G) and then on WAN2 setting it up as a PPPoE connection with the username and password of the BT service. How does this work when the Infinity box in front of it will be connected already using these details?

So I assume one of the 4 port connections on the Draytek would feed into the LAN and then the WAN2 port would go into one of the 4 port connections on the Infinity box.

Thanks!
 
Disable WAN1.

Connect WAN2 direct to the Infinity modem. The BT supplied Infinity router can stay in its box.

Configure the PPPoE connection on WAN2.

Update any configuration settings to use WAN2 rather than WAN1. I needed to modify the open incoming ports and the VPNs.

Ah, thats the missing part of the puzzle for me. I've no experience of infinity so assumed it was an all in one box that they were supplying. Now I know the draytek simply replaces their router and connects to their modem only that makes much more sense.

Thanks!
