Hi,
Hoping someone may have an insight as to what I may be doing wrong here. I cannot get PPPoE to work with Zen on a third party router.

Many thanks in advanced.
Hoping someone may have an insight as to what I may be doing wrong here. I cannot get PPPoE to work with Zen on a third party router.
Background:
- I have recently moved to Zen Unlimited Fibre 2 from (FTTC, VDSL).
- Zen supplied a Fritzbox 7530 AX which connects fine.
- I have a Ubiquiti home setup with a Unifi Dream Router (UDR) as the main controller and router.
- I would like to use this setup instead of the Frtizbox.
- I also have Openreach / Huawei g.fast MT992 from a previous install which I intend to use as the modem.
- I am aware I could also use the Frtizbox in psuedo-bridge mode (and not use the MT992) by entering incorrect PPPoE credentials in the Frtizbox but passing the PPPoE connection through th Frtizbox.
- Frtizbox acting as modem and router = connection works fine, IPv4 and IPv6 (so I am confident I have the correct PPPoE settings)
- Frtizbox acting as router and MT992 as the modem (connected to the Fritzbox WAN port) = connection works fine, IPv4 and IPv6 (so I am confident the MT992 works fine and can be used as an independent modem)
- I cannot get the same PPPoE settings to work on my UDR. Each attempt to connect to the internet fails.
- I have tried using the MT992 as the modem.
- I have also tried using the Frtizbox in the psuedo bridge mode where I allow other network devices to establish an internet connection through the Fritzbox and then deliberately put the wrong PPPoE settings in the Frtizbox so the Fritzbox itself cannot establish a connection.
- The PPPoE settings I am using are:
- Zen username (format "zenxxxxx@zen") and Zen password (the ADSL password from the technical details section of my account on their website)
- VLAN: 101
- I have verified these work in the Frtizbox
- Additional settings presented in the UDR:
- Mac clone: Not used
- QoS tag: Not used
- DNS: I have tried both leaving on auto, and using the DNS the Fritzbox gets from Zen upon connecting.
Many thanks in advanced.
