Draytek 2850- VDSL/WAN query

Only issue I've got is that I can't connect my router to the Openreach box. I don't really need to at the moment as the 2850's internal VDSL modem is working correctly, but am unsure how to get the router connected to BT's modem via the router's WAN socket. I'd like the BT modem working in case of issues and to compare speeds with the Draytek.
I've checked the Draytek manual and spent hours searching online, but can't find anything.
In WAN >> General Setup I've enabled WAN2, set it to auto negotiation, enabled VLAN Tag insertion and changed the Tag value to 101.
In WAN >> Internet Access I've enabled the connection & added my username (email) and password.
I've got the CAT5 cable connected to the router's port 4. Tried 3 different cables...
The BT modem sync light flashes, then stays on steady when I connect the RJ11 cable to the phone line.
Can anyone shed some light?
Thanks

For internet access you need to supply your broadband username which is username@plusdsl.net with your account password.

You don't need VLAN tag insertion and ID on WAN2, the BT modem will handle that.

From what I can see so far, down & up seem to be slightly quicker than with the 2850's built in modem. Need to do some more comparisons before I can be sure. Will be annoying if that's the case as I could've stuck with my old 2820...

Depends what kind of speed you are getting. IIRC the 2820's only have a throughput of 50Mbps

Quote from: chillstar Thanks very much both of you- it was the VLAN Tag Insertion that was messing me up. I disabled that in the dropdown and it connected straight away.

I've got a 2850vn and I get 23/3.5 using the drayteks own vdsl port but 27/5.7 using the bt modem & pppoe.
Not impressed at with the 2850vn so far and it keeps rebooting.
Logged a call with Draytek so I'll see what they can do.

FTTC installed using BTOR modem and technicolour modem, which I have swapped to the Draytek 2850N only which I was using previously, & even having done the latest firmwarej upgrade (which included a VDSL modem update) I see significantly slower connection on both the modem stats and running any speedtest. Anyone got any further ahead with this?
So I have decided to connect the Draytek to the BTOR modem using a similar set up as above (WAN2 port4, UN & password set). I am also on a fixed external IP as well, so do I need to set this?
The Draytek gets a PPPoE connection (can see this in the stats), but I cannot browse any web pages.
Now my Drayteks LAN IP is 192.168.1.1 which I wonder is that the same as the BTOR modem?? Obviously the Technicolour router uses 192.168.1.254
So have I got an IP coflict causing the inability to browse?
Any help much appreciated.
