Hello,
I have been searching for information on how to setup my OpenWRT router when I change from Virgin Media as an ISP to Zen ISP (UK)'s FTTP service with CityFibre infrastructure without success. The OpenWRT ISP configuration site seems to give guidance for those who have a DSL service with ZEN, but not for FTTP installations. Zen ISP, understandably, only gives advice on the router they provide. Currently, I am with Virgin Media and my topology looks like this: VM Hub 4 in bridge mode -> x86 router with OpenWRT(22.03) installed and Adguard as DHCP and DNS backends -> Belkin RT3200 on a OpenWRT snapshot build as a DumbAP providing Wi-Fi.
I am assuming that I have to change my current Interface WAN protocol to PPPOE , enter the IPV4 and 6 addresses and enter my ZEN ISP customer credentials where needed as well as add a VLAN ID of 911. That seems straight forward enough for me, but I have a feeling that I might be missing something. Any guidance from those who have successfully setup their OpenWRT routers for ZEN ISP will be welcome.
I have posted this question in the OpenWRT forum, but haven't had much response yet.
