try
vodafone@vodafone.ie
vodafone

not 100% sure if they are right

PS. What have you use for sky? is it generic username and password or individual one?

Just need to set vlan Id to 10

And use username from below and any password

Thanks Cyrus,

Have done this. It does not appear to be working. The modem makes me enter vlan for phone and iptv also.

Sorry I was using a unifi usg and it was pretty straight forward , have you selected connection type as pppoe? That’s the only other thing

This is the one you need to set, if its not on custom it wont give you the options.

darren_147 · 09-04-2020 9:45am

Thanks Guys,

I ticked the box 802.1Q Tag and it worked.
Thanks for your help.

I am hoping to get rid of my Sky Q hub also, The Archer C9 seems to only be a router, do you need a separate modem? I am reading conflicting information online that you do/not need a modem for a FTTH/FTTP. Can anyone clarify this?

A C9 should work standalone with FTTH. Tag as above and username provided. Not sure if pw is the serial.

Oh grand. Doing some research online the C9 seems to be EOL (would explain why its a little hard to find online). I think I will get the C80 in place of it.

Can Anyone confirm what the current settings for vodafone FFTH(openeir not SIRO) are.

I have a virtual pfsense firewall and getting different answers in different threads on boards some say username is vodafone@vodafone.ie, other says router Serial Number, others saying you need to contact vodafone to get it. All threads/posts are saying different passwords also.

I am trying to minimise downtime as much as possible so if any one could confirm current setting I would appreciate it or is it a case the settings could be different for everyone? e.g Some have vodafone@vodafone.ie, others have outer Serial Number and its just test and hope you get it right?

This is mine today works fine vlan Id 10

grimeire · 10-09-2023 4:38pm

So all you needed was vlan 10, username and password and that was it.

No luck for me but i can see the some PPPOE traffic on the interface. i am not sure how to correctly set up the interface in pfsense so will ask on their forums.

Sorry not familiar with pfsense hope you get it going

I think the serial number stuff was pre open Eir to be honest on the fttc connections

I contacted vodafone today. Took three attempts before I got a tech support person even able to understand what i wanted. They just sent me the username - serialnumber@fieftth.ie and password - broadband text. Couldnt even tell me if vlan was needed or if serial needed to be in up case or lower case or even if it matter.

Numerous more tests with pfsense failed so i tested with my macbook using a pppoe connection and that failed also. I cant set vlan on macbook so that could be the issue.

Anyone know any apps that allow me to configure pppoe using vlan tags on macbook so i can see can i get it working with pfsense out of the equation in case it a rule or a config within that thats causing the issue.

Also do you know if you also get a private gateway address like i can see in the gigabox router.

I finally got it working.

The issue seems to be the Broadcom NIC i was using.

I used my DR server with a dedicated intel NIC as my current server has no free PCI slots and the intel PCI card is an x4 card where as the broadcom is an x1 card in current server and bang straight away the connection worked.

it seems the username and password do not matter all that matters is vlan is set to 10.

Here are some shots of my working config incase it helps someone else.

**first create vlan on wan interface with vlan tag 10**

Screenshot 2023-09-13 at 2.21.06 p.m..png

**Configure Wan Interface**

Set wan interface to vlan interface and set PPPOE and enter random username and password of if you want you can use router_SN@vfieftth.ie and broadband but it made no difference to me other than getting allocated to a different public IP segment.
