Open reach modem and air port extreme router

[#1]

So I have the PN router but
Was wondering if I can just cut the middle man and
Hook up the AirPort Extreme to the open reach modem
Like this

Is it possible as I don't really want 1 modem and 2 routers working
One of each would be better
Many thanks

Yes, it will work fine. You will need to configure the PPPoE connection on the Airport with your PlusNet username and password as described here http://www.plus.net/support/broadband/hardware/broadband-connection-settings.shtml .
Note that link seems to imply you don't need a password for PPPoE but it's wrong, you do! it's the same as the one described for PPPoA.

Hi D3lboy,
I'm successfully using the Openreach modem with an Airport Extreme and have no issues.
Hope you get on OK

Yeah it's good to have a spare around in case there are any issues in future, it will help to prove whether it's your router or connection.
