For VDSL2, all you need to do is change the setting below:
Under Advanced page click Setup - ADSL Settings:
Multiplexing Method - VC-BASED
VPI - 0
VCI - 38
DSL Mode - Auto
Now click apply and now click WAN Setup:
WAN Preference - Auto-Detect
Use VLANID (please ensure tick the box) and set it to 101
Now click apply and sign out
Both way will work as I have tested it.

I have only been on fibre a week and a half, and will make a few tweaks (for example, replace the RJ11 flat cable provided with the BT modem with a CAT5E RJ11 patch cable, and possibly remove the MK3 extension socket in favour of a simple RJ11 box).
Once everything is stable and working, I will be looking for an all-in-one solution.
In the running so far is the Billion BiPAC 8800AXL, the Billion BiPAC 8800NL, the Netgear DGND3700, and the TP-Link TD-W9980.
Would be interested in anyone with experience of the TP-Link TD-W9980 as it looks reasonable.

Only issues I have is no local dns, and the printer port driver is mac/M$ ONLY but that will probably not bother most people.

Hairy, on the TD-W9980, excuse my ignorance here, but when you say no 'local DNS', what do you mean? I assume it picks up the DNS from plusnet? I am also assuming you could change the DNS manually (say to Google DNS?). I wasn't sure what you meant by local DNS though.
Also, does it run powered for long periods without having to reset? That is kind of my gold standard for routers. I know it isn't much to ask, but I have seen a lot of routers that can't run for, say, months on end without a reset at some point.

I have had it for several months, it has been running without rebooting (bar upgrading the firmware earlier this month) with no issues.
You can change the DNS to anything you want for the local lan, I have mine set to a my server so I can get local DNS running. I like to contact my machines by name not ip address. On M$ PC's this is done by wins (unless they have finally removed it, it was still in use last time I was on an M$ lan) but I run 100% Linux on my lan which is DNS only.
I know you can do it by adding local hosts files, but why have the hassle of changing them when a server can do it. I have asked for this to be added to the feature set along with a Linux drivr for the print server.
Over all I am pleased with the performance of this router, and the price was right for me (£70), the Asus routers being 2x the price. Don't know about the cost of the DGND though.

Now that DGND3700v2 works with Vdsl2, do any of the more recent ADSL 2+ Modems, D6100/6200/6300 work?

Netgear DGND3700v2 only work with VDSL2 using WAN port with openreach modem (not the DSL port) because of Broadcom chip are BCM6362 see here: http://www.broadcom.com/products/Broadband-Carrier-Access/xDSL-CPE-Solutions/BCM6362
Netgear DGND3700v1 will work with VDSL2 using both WAN and DSL ports either with or without openreach modem. They have Broadcom chip are BCM6368 see here: http://www.broadcom.com/products/Broadband-Carrier-Access/xDSL-CPE-Solutions/BCM6368

Can a mod please change the title of this topic & info in the first post to make sure that its clear that the DGND3700v2 is NOT a VDSL2 modem/router ... and that you still need a BT fttc modem with it.
TIA.

In the first post you said
Is this correct or not
Quote You should be able to get FTTC on the Netgear without Openreach Modem if you connect the DSL cable to the back under ADSL port but you can use Openreach Modem if you connect the DSL cable to the back under Cable/Fiber port.
Both way will work as I have tested it
