Will my router be compatible?

I currently have ADSL with Plusnet but have noticed that fibre is now available in my area. I'm on the order screen and it's asking if I would like the wireless router.
I understand these to be the "Tecnhicolor" routers - I have one at my business property and at my partners. I have found that the wireless signal isn't very good so was wondering if my existing router would work.
N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router - DGN2200 - V1.0.0.46_7.0.44
I have looked online but cannot find a definite answer. Hoping somebody here could help.
Regards
Kieran
EDIT: I have noticed that it allows PPPoE encapsulation. So this "should" work?
Reason I ask is because at my business property the technicolor connects to another box but at my partners it just uses a microfilter.

it says -
Quote Four (4) 10/100 Fast Ethernet ports with auto-sensing technology; one (1) Fast Ethernet port can be used as WAN port to connect to cable/fiber modem
So it would appear that it should work, although that info is for the current model DGN2200v4, yours may be different !.
What does your handbook say ?, the online handbook describes how to select the "ethernet WAN" instead of the ADSL modem, and that there is a front panel LED which indicates traffic activity when ethernet port 4 is in "ethernet WAN" mode.

I suspect, as purleigh suggests, that earlier versions of the dgn2200 didn't have the ability to use one of the LAN ports as a WAN port.
Quote Thanks for your reply - I have since read another one of your replies to somebody else in 2013 - I am even more confused now..

If you look underneath the router the label should have the version number (e.g. DGN2200v4). If there is no Vn appended it usually means it is a V1.
