When will router be sent?

Hi
I get my Fibre installed on Monday but the View order status for the router still says Hardware dispatch pending
The order has not yet been placed
Isnt this cutting it a bit close because even if its posted tomorrow, it cant get there till monday at least and the engineer is booked for 8:00 - 13:00
Not that bothered because hopefully the engineer will use the router I have which is fibre enabled anyway.
Thanks

Re: When will router be sent?

Hi Keith,
Firstly welcome to Plusnet and our community forums.
Your router has been dispatched today and it should have been dispatched prior to this, unfortunately a system error prevented this.
You'll be able to use router either way, and if you haven't received our router you can always create a PPPoE if needed.
Let me know how you get on with your install.

Keith, If you wish to use your own router, you can find the details for the connection settings here http://www.plus.net/support/broadband/hardware/broadband-connection-settings.shtml

What make/model router do you have?

Ok, connect the WAN ( black ) port on the DGND3700 to the modem ( LAN1 ) port with an Ethernet Cable. Then try the setup wizard on the DGND3700 and it SHOULD autodetect the connection and ask you for your username/password. If that doesnt work then go to the WAN setup page on the router ( manual page 46 ) and change the WAN preference to 'must use Ethernet WAN'

Re: When will router be sent?

Didnt work. just keeps saying username and pass are incorrect. but I did just get a text off my previous isp saying my internet had been suspended. so maybe plusnet are doing something?  order status page still says current progress is on activating the line though.

Re: When will router be sent?

Maybe your account isn't quite active yet, although with a Fibre install it's usually done in time for the actual install. Hopefully one of the Digital Care Team will be along shortly to confirm...

No problem. Smiley
That looks pretty good, you must be quite close to the cabinet.
