I've managed to create a problem for myself whist attempting to allow remote access to a server on my home network, resulting in the need for a factory reset of the Billion BiPAC 8900X R3.
After said reset I have been unable to configure it to connect to the Internet even though it syncs as it should do.
I have entered my username ******@plusdsl.net
Newly changed password
Set Authentication Method to CHAP
Set protocol to PPoE
Connection type to VDSL
Do I need to set VPI/VCI? I thought this was auto detected.
I can't remember what I am missing as this worked well before I outsmarted myself..
Edit: The router supplied by PlusNet connects, so it definitely something that I have miss-configured.
Fixed! Go to the fix.

You say you have changed the password. Assuming that this is your account password have you also updated this in your account in the Plusnet Member Centre? Can you log into the member centre using the same user name and password?

Thank you Baldrick
Yes that was my cunning plan, to change the password for the Plusnet Member Centre login, which in turn changes the password for the DSL account and the Plusnet router.
The plusnet router still connects, so that must have taken place.

Thank you SpendLessTime
From that, it looks like I need to set the VPI and VCI.
A quick search it suggests setting VPI to 0 and VCI. to 38.
Edit:
This complete balderdash, VPI and VCI are ADSL and ADSL+ not FTTC which is what I have.

I'm sorry if I'm asking the obvious but just a thought, are you inputting the Hub One settings manually. I'm just thinking that if it's using the TR069 auto set up it will pick up whatever it sees as the correct password, which might not agree with your settings. You can log into the member centre with your new password?

From a look at the R3 manual and @SpendLessTime s link above, you need to set :-
Layer2Interface to PTM
802.1P Priority to 0
802.1Q VLan ID to 101

Hello Baldrick
No I'm using the auto setup of the PlusNet router via the Member Centre, which I now log onto with the new password.
