FTTC TO FTTP router settings TPLink VX230v

[Terryphi]

I have booked an upgrade to FTTP for next month and IDnet have provided me with a new username and password. I hope that someone who has gone through this can clarify something for me. Following installation by Openreach did IDnet change the username and password for you remotely or did you have to do it yourself? (I have researched the procedure in case I have to do it.)

If you were getting a router from IDNet, it would be pre-configured with the new login details.  If you're using your own current router, then as far as I am aware, it would need to be configured by yourself, but I can't say for certain.  There may also be other settings that would need changing.  I'm sure IDNet would be able to guide you through it if needs be.

When switching, I asked IDNet to keep the same login details. It then became a matter of moving a cable from one ethernet socket to another. (We were using a separate DSL modem in pass-through mode, with a separate router, so one PPPoE link was the same as any other.)
