Hi, currently I am using a rp-pppoe with a router/modem in bridge mode on adsl and all is working fine. We are being forced to move to nbn, in our case fibre to the node. The provider I am looking at uses vdsl, Protocol: IPoE (DHCP / Automatic IP) VLAN: None/blank. Will this work with rp-pppoe? If not is there a similar connection software that will?
Thanks Gary.

My experience with setting up connections for a couple of NBN services is that there is no authentication done by the user (they authorise *their* interface equipment), you just plug your network into their device, like you're connecting to the output of a router. In some cases, that's exactly what you're doing. But it's also possible to plug directly into the fibre/ethernet interface, if you only have one device to connect.
This included with a service provider that had instructions for setting up your logon, with you having to authenticate. Their instructions didn't work, but just connecting in, and doing nothing else, did.
