I’ll put some more general comments on the Community Fibre thread I started but to keep relevant information in the appropriate thread I can report that my Draytek 2860 connected directly to the Community Fibre “modem” without problems.
I enabled IPv6 on the Draytek (only on the WAN side) and DHCP and it worked first time.
When Community Fibre installed I just connected to the second port on their Linksys (to let the installers complete their commissioning tests) then once they had returned to their vans I removed the Linksys and connected the Draytek directly.
No need to clone the MAC address, all in all very smooth.
The package I have (150 Mb/s) uses CG NAT so at some stage I may investigate an upgrade to get a public IP address but in terms of working with my existing router and more generally, all good.
