I'm due to be switched from ADSL to fibre tomorrow and wonder if this will just move over seamlessly, or is there anything I need to do or be concerned about.
I'm asking as I'm not using the PlusOne hub following a series of DNS issues leading to loss of access that were only finally resolved when Plusnet sent me a different brand of router that is actually used for John Lewis broadband customers. It's a ZyXEL VMG8924 - B10A
Thanks!

I'm upgrading from Plusnet ADSL to Plusnet fibre but have a John Lewis router, which was supplied by Plusnet

Pretty much should just work when the switchover is completed, you shouldn't have to change anything.

@BL64 I have a VMG8924 but have only used it on a VDSL2 (FTTC) connection. Some modem/routers can automatically switch from ADSL to VDSL, i'm not sure if the Zyxel can do this. You may need to set up a new WAN interface VDSL over PTM with PPPoE encapsulation as for ADSL with Username and Password. The other things needed are 802.1q - VLAN ID 101 and 802.1p - Priority - not sure if this matters much, mine is set to 2. I would also disable IPV6 as Plusnet don't support it.
This should get you connected.🙂
