ASUS dsl-g31 on o2? how?

[razer121]

Does anyone know the correct settings for the asus router? it wont find my o2 be connection in the auto setup so im havin to enter it manually but....its askin for loads of information that i cannot give it (o2 cant either) so if anyone has any idea.....

Settings like?

EDIT - assuming that the Be connection details are the same as the O2, does this help?

[razer121]

See, i've put them settings in....but the router wants even more settings! on the vci page it not only wants the vci inputs but, anouther setting and anouther 3 odd extra settings, it is driving me crazy! shall i get some of settings and post them up?

[Splash]

yep, otherwise we won't know what info you need

[razer121]

ok where to start! so the first page gives you these options,

"step1. ATM PVC config"

VPI:
VCI:
Service category: (list of options UBR without PCR etc)

Now its the service cat that stumps me, im unsure which one to put it on!

"step2 connections type"

PPP over ATM (PPPoA)
PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)
MAC Encapsulation Routing (MER)
IP over ATM (IPoA)
Bridging

Encapsulation mode (2 choices, they are : LLC/SNAP-BRIDGING or this can be SNAP-ROUTING. Or its: VC/MUX)

Enable 802.1q (option to tick a box)

"step 3:
This is dependant on what i do in the first few steps....so what do you think so far? i've tried so many different configs so far!

IPoA
LLC - bridged

enter your ip address/subnet etc as provided by o2/bethere

You mean the one that O2 dont provide? i have to have it on automatic

Ah. I assumed it would be the same as my bethere connection. My Netgear router with dgteam firmware has 3 options: dynamic, static ip and IPoA. As a bethere customer I use static ip with details they provided. I guess you'll need to use dynamic if the option is listed.

Are you connected via LLU or BT ipstream?

For BT ipstream you'll need to use:

PPPoA encapsulation
VPI = 0
VCI = 38
VC-Based multiplex
MTU 1500 or 1492

[razer121]

I'm connected via LLU,

[Splash]

From http://www.o2help.co.uk/broadband-settings/

Routing protocol: Bridged Ethernet, Ethernet over ATM, RFC 1483, RFC 2684
IP address: choose to get dynamically from the ISP
DNS servers: choose to get automatically from the ISP
Multiplexing method: LLC-Based
VPI: 0
VCI: 101
ADSL Mode: Auto
MTU: 1500

Does that help? You should disable 802.1q as that's related to VLAN tagging, and you really don't need to be playing with VLANs when you're struggling to get a router online

Right, i've inputed them settings and still no connection, dsl light is lit up but internet light just keeps flashing. I read one other post on the o2 forums about how the exchange has to "forget" your not using the O2 wireless hub 2 before this ASUS will connect, now he had to wait half an hour for his to work, i'm going to give it over night with the correct settings and hope to god it works!

Razer.

I setup a new router on sunday for my o2 connection and i had to call them up and get a raden password and username.

I'll post all of my settings when I get home.

My connection connected within a few seconds once I had entered the details. after spending about 30 mins trying to get it to connect with no user name and pw.

I was on the phone to o2 for the whole of 5 mins to get my UN & PW
