However I want to use my TP-Link TL-WR1043ND router instead of the Technicolor one.
I have tried to set it up as PPPoE but it doesn't connect to PlusNet.
The router has a detect option which says to use Static IP rather than PPPoE.
So I set this up with the static ip assigned to me by plusnet.
This then worked for a while until I had to reset my router to change the wireless channel and now it won't connect as either static ip or PPPoE.
Any ideas on how to set it up.
Thanks

I also set the connection timeout to 0 to make sure its always on.
Then I tried the static ip option. Entered the static ip given to me by plus net. set mask as 255.255.255.0, set gateway and dns to what the TG-582n said it was set to.
But no joy there either.

Is that right? It probably doesn't matter, but I'm sure the TD-8816 indicated a mask of 255.255.255.255 (cannot find it on the tg585), which would fit a single IP address allocation - but perhaps I'm confusing this with something else, such as a PPPoA connection.

255.255.255.255 is the correct one to use for a single IP but then TL--WR1043ND doesn't allow me to enter that as a mask. 255.255.255.0 can be entered. I don't think it makes too much difference.

I have not changed any settings.
I did notice that BT has an outage that affected PlusNet at the same time I was trying to setup the TP-Link but the problem was around Reading and I am near Manchester so can't see how that affected me!
I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks for the help/support
For anyone else with this router the attached image shows how I set mine up.

BTW, I find the TL-WR1043ND to be excellent.
