Vodafone have been and installed gigafast. Yay!
Vodafone’s router has not arrived. Boo!

How do I configure my Draytek router to work with Vodafone’s fibre network? I have the username and password for PPTP and that hasn’t worked. I’ve tried a VLAN tag of 911 as suggested by the internet. That hasn’t worked on either incoming connection or outgoing. The connection between the Draytek and the Vodafone bridge is a known good cable and the Draytek web server says that the link is electrically good.

All four lights on Vodafone’s fibre bridge are lit, so there should be a working link.
What do I need to do to get it to work?
 
In which case, and if memory serves me, you need to set the 911 VLAN tag (if that is correct; serviced areas may differ) on the 'Service' rather than 'Customer' (under WAN > General Settings > WAN1).

I’ve tried all three options.


Might be worth waiting until it does just to make sure the service is fully active and working correctly before using a different router/setup.

I’m impatient and the lights on the fibre optic bridge indicate it’s live.
