Help please. How do I set up a dray tek v120 with apple TC?

Question

Could someone please help me, as this is driving me mad.
I have purchased a Dray Tek vigor v120 modem, and want to set it up to use with my TC (version 7 2TB) I have been using a BT home hub3 with the TC, and works fine, minimal setup. Now I want to use the Dray Tek in place of the HH3, so I can use my TC as my main router. Now problem I'm having is with the v6 airport utility. Following the steps from the Dray Tek website, it uses the V5 Airport utility to walk you through, but I cannot do any of this with the v6?
How do I reset the TC, how do I manually. Setup in this wretched v6 airport utility.?
The old version is straight forward, but in v6 I cannot find any way of doing this.
Can anybody help?
Here's the link to setting this up with the old, easier version of airport

The only thing you have to do with the TC is setup PPPoE client. That is no problem. It may work automagically via the wizard but if not it is easy to fix up.
Do the first step from draytek instructions..
Set up the Vigor 120 modem so that it is turned on and plugged into the ADSL line, do not plug it into a PC or router yet.Wait until the DSL light stops flashing and goes solid, that indicates that it is ready to pass through the ADSL connection to your router. The modem is pre-configured for standard UK ADSL connections so will not need any further setup for an ADSL connection with the settings listed above.
Now plug the WAN of the TC into the 120.
In the airport utility click on the "Other wifi devices" in the top left corner.. it should have a (1) on the end to indicate a new device needs to be configured. If not reset the TC and start afresh.
Run through the setup wizard. I always recommend people change the apple names proposed for names that are short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric but up to you.
The wizard might well detect you are on adsl and will bring up the pppoe screen and you type in your username and password exactly as you would in the draytek instructions.
Finish the wizard without other changes.
Did it detect pppoe?? If not you can now edit it.
Click on the TC in the airport utility. Then click on the edit.. this is same as the manual setup in v5 utility.
Go to the Internet tab and click on the connect using there.
Select pppoe.
That will open a bunch of different options where you can type in username and password as supplied by your ISP.
If you run into issues.. please do screenshots of where you have problems.
Edit.. I always should add at the top but end up thinking of last.
Apple do not automatically setup the wireless in the computer correctly. Generally ipv6 will default to auto. For Time Capsule or any airport setup this might be ok.. but it is better to ensure it is correctly set to link-local.
Open your network preferences and fix the ipv6. It should look like this.
