Hi all,
Apologies if this is a dumb question but...
I currently have a Billion Bipac 8900AX R2 ((plus TP-Link Mesh) with a PlusNet FTTC connection
I have a CF 500Mpbs install booked for later this week and I understand they will install a 'modem' and router.
I want to continue using my Bipac router with CF. My understanding is that I should be able to do that by just moving the ethernet from the CF Velop router to my Bipac router and adding a WAN entry on the Bipac.
Assuming that is the case, any ideas where I would get all the necessary config params required for the Bipac? When I select the Add WAN service the following form appears:
followed by:
Not really an expert on this stuff - took me ages to set up the fixed IP and firewall rules on the Bipac - so any dummy-level help would be much appreciated.
Note that my Plusnet contract still has 6-7 weeks to run. I signed up early for CF as they offered a 12m contract (important as we may move in the next 12 months) with 6 months free. So, if can leave both the PN and CF connections active for the next few weeks that would be great - obvs with the CF as the Default/Primary connection if possible.
Thanks
