Hello people,

http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,137664.0.html will lead you to this...
In the QUICK START menu:
WAN Interface ( WAN > Wireless )
Main Port = DSL
Layer 2 Interface = PTM (VDSL)
Type = PPPoE
Username = *********@plusdsl.net (******** = your username that you login in with) , You'll enter this on the next screen IIRC.
WAN IP Address = Obtain an IP Address Automatically
Click Continue.
WAN Interface ( WAN > Wireless ) 2nd Screen.
WAN Service.
Type = PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)
Username = *********@plusdsl.net (******** = your username that you login in with)
Password = The one you login with.
Service Name = Plusnet (Can be blank)
Authentication Method = CHAP (Can be AUTO, but found it works better if you select CHAP)
IPv4 Address = Static (UNCHECKED, unless you have a static IP)
IP Address = Will be blanked out unless above is checked in which case enter your IP address.
IPv6 for this service = Enable (UNCHECKED)
MTU = 1492
Click Continue & WAIT for about 15-20 seconds, if you've done it all correctly it will connect.

Awesome - I think you replied to my question over on Amazon.
Many thanks - this router is coming tomorrow, so am all set to configure it.
So the static IP I enter is the one that pn assigned to me?
Cheers,
Ricardo.

Yep. To enter it, just tick the IPv4 Address box & enter it and that should see to it.

DON'T enter a static IP address in your router!
Plusnet don't do static IP addresses in a way that routers understand it - instead they give you a reserved IP address. In other words, leave your router set to obtain IP address automatically / from ISP, and they will always assign you the same one by DHCP.
