Full Fibre 500 Bridge Bridge Mode

rogermbolton — Sun, 12 Feb 2023 07:51:37 GMT

Good morning,
I currently have Virgin Media and want to move to Plusnet Full Fibre 500. I have a UniFi Access Point connected to a UniFi Dream Machine.
I therefore need the Plusnet Router to be able to use Bridge Mode. Before I proceed with the order can I please get confirmation that the router provided allows for this setup

Hi @rogermbolton welcome to the forum.

When you have Full Fibre installed it is terminated in your property at ONT in which is a Fibre modem, so no other device is required.

So provided your UniFi access point supports PPPoE connections you can connect it directly to the ONT

Thank you for your quick and helpful response. So for a geek wannabe like me that thinks he knows but actually doesn't, I need to check if my UnFi UDM (Dream Machine) fully supports PPPoE connections. Then that's all I need, I don't even need the Smart Hub Two..... Is that right.

Yes, you are correct no Hub two required

@rogermbolton have a search through previous posts, Im sure there's been a few regarding using the Unify USG.

For information , the settings required for using your own router are here :- https://www.plus.net/help/broadband/broadband-connection-settings/

However , the ones shown as for Fibre broadband refer to FTTC ( Fibre to the cabinet ) NOT Full Fibre. Those settings are the same except for VLAN , For Full Fibre VLAN should be disabled.

Correct - I does fully support PPPoE, I've been running mine for a few years. You just go Ethernet from the WAN port on the UDM to the ONT. You don't need the Plusnet router.

@rogermbolton

Might be worth getting the Hub2 anyway - just for backup.
