I put in all the details IP, Netmask, DNS based on the values that the Billion used and I get a Connected to the internet, BUT when I try to browse web sites it goes nowhere. I presumed it could be wrong DNS values as I had that sort of thing in the past but it didn't work. Can anyone help ? Do I need somehow to get a modem that 'converts' from PPPoA to PPPoE.
Many Thanks in Advance. I have spent many hours on this and am stuck now. PlusNet support were absolutely useless ... 'can only tell you to use PPPoA'.
I am on ADSL not on Fibre.

With what you've done it's sounding like you've not got any authentication details so it won't go anywhere.
there isn't a way to 'convert' pppoe / pppoa

I had no problems with a TP Link Archer C7 cable router using PPPOE, via a Netgear DG834, in modem only mode, on PlusNet ADSL.
However, I was using manually assigned OpenDNS for the DNS.

The fact is is connected implies to me (I'm VERY basic at these things) - either the username/pw is wrong (but I've not changed them from when they worked before), or there is something else in terms of communication. In the browser (Safari - Mac) ... the progress blue line moves along a few inches and then just stops ... as if waiting for some sort of communication ?
If the Billion 7800N is in Pure Bridge mode is there anything else it needs to do ? I then connect from it with an Ethernet cable.

I have the RT-N66u connected via a Netgear DG834PN modem on ADSL at home. It was a little tricky to set up initially as it's not clear that you have to set the encapsulation settings to LLC, not VC-MUX, which the Netgear didn't do automatically. You don't say what you're using as a modem at work but maybe that might work? There was one other setting to change which I can't remember right now, but I think it involved the number 38, if that rings bells for anyone? If you still struggle drop me a line and I'll go and look it up for you
edit: got work mixed up with home:(

This is connected to the Ethernet WAN port on the ASUS. IS this not correct ?

As pointed out by shure, check the Billion is using LLC encapsulation method. It won't work with VC-Mux.
Picture from 7800N user manual shown below.
