Trying to get a 3rd Party Router working with BT I...

Hi,
I'm trying to move away from the HHub5 on our FTTC BT Infinity connection (40Mb/s). Eventually I settled on a TP-Link WDR 3600 N600 - the flavour which is happy to talk to cable modems and take an OpenWRT install.
So far I've hooked up a BT OpenReach "white box" modem using the HHub's RJ11 lead, going from the DSL filter into the OpenReach modem's DSL socket.  The modem's DSL LED lights up solid green - which I presume is good?  The TP-Link router is up & running fine with OpenWRT installed, I can connect to it over WiFi and I've hooked up its WAN connection to the OpenReach modem's LAN1 socket (LAN2 is blanked out).
But whatever I put in the router's PPPoE settings I just can't get an internet connection to come up.  So far I've used '[email protected] (as it's set on the HHub) and a few other suggestions from the forums including 'anything you like' @btinternet.com and @btbroadband.com - nothing seems to get the connection going.
Is there something I've missed or can anyone suggest a solution?
Many thanks,
Steve
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sorry to answer my own question, but in case it helps anyone in the future:
I had to put my username in the username AND password fields - same details in both.  I've not seen this written  anywhere online, everyone says to leave the password field blank as it's unused.
So to recap - this is what got my TP-LINK WDR3600 (OpenWRT based) router working with Infinity: stick [email protected] in the PPPoE usernamd AND password fields.

The laptop and desktop both will access the Internet and work when hardwired through the router's Ethernet ports. When trying to access wireless, the Laptop shows to be connected to the router and also to Internet, but Internet Explorer can not access any websites.  Suggestions? Thanks.

  • Trying to get my sound card to work with ArchLinux

    Okay, let me tell you my problem. I'm still somewhat of a noob when it comes to linux so don't be hard on me . And, yes that's half of my problem, anyways I've got a sound card called the Soundblaster X-FI USB and I've been trying it to get it to work with the alsaconf command which hasn't worked of course Let me point out that whenever I use my backup flashdrive with PuppyLinux it the Alsaconf inside of it see's the card that I'm using and automatically sets it up.. Plus whenever I type the ' cat /proc/asound/cards ' command I get this..
    0 [Intel          ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
                          HDA Intel at 0xefffc000 irq 21
    1 [S51            ]: USB-Audio - SB X-Fi Surround 5.1

    *(The first one being my dead onboard audio)
    So please help me out here I really want to have sound again and hey maybe I'll learn something new about linux!

    there's some experimental driver that maybe makes it work with alsa, see here:
    http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=n … &px=Njc3NQ
    My card is a USB which isn't compatible with the driver that they include. So no help there ;(. I've loaded Ubuntu recently and it has worked perfectly with my soundcard (Creative X-FI USB Surround 5.1) right out of the box. I personally think there has to be a way to get it to work in Archlinux since it worked in Ubuntu...
    Although. I suppose I could just use Ubuntu but I'm more of a fan of Arch. So does anyone have any idea what Ubuntu used as in drivers wise to get my card to work in linux??

  • Screen Saver - 3rd Party to work with Mac OS X 10.4.11

    I would like to purchase a third party Screen Saver that will work with my Mac Mini, OS X, 10.4.11. I would like a Screen Saver that will give me greater flexibility in displaying my photos; would allow each photo to remain on screen for a longer period of time then the existing software will allow and to have more options when transitioning from one photo to the next.

    Get GraphicConverter gives even more options...

  • Does this 3rd party drive work with PCI 7356?

    Hi,
    I bought PCI 7356 and AKD servo drive. However, it seems AKD can only achieve 15k rpm, which is lower than my target speed. I wonder if this drive, Analog Servo Drive S16A8 by Advanced Motion Control, will work with PCI 7356 controller. My motor is a brushless DC motor with 4-pole. I would like to run the motor at 30k rpm. The rated voltage for this motor is 24V and the rated current is 1.4A. The part number is BN12HS-13AA-02CH. I attach the spec sheet for the motor and the drive. Will this drive fit in my application? Thanks!

    Hello dandan9002
    It looks like one of our customers, serkanb, is running into an issue trying to use this drive with a similar card to yours.

  • Trying to get lexmark Z708 printer to work with Snow Leopard

    I've just set up a friend's new Mac, using 10.6.4; he's moved from Windows with his Lexmark X708 printer. I can't find any Z708 printing drivers that will work with SnowL - not on the installation 'extras' on the dvd, nor on apple or lexmark's pages (the 708 driver for 10.4 on lexmark's site doesn't work). is there a workaround or do i have to persuade him to fork out yet more for a new printer?

    There is a "Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard > Printing, faxing and scanning forum you just missed it.

  • Trying to get a 2nd display to work with my MacBook

    Hey,
    I have the late 2008 aluminium MacBook. I'm trying to use a 1440x900 monitor as an alternative display for it using a mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter. However, I can't seem to get it working. The monitor either just shows a stock background, or if I use mirroring, it drops the resolution to the same as my MacBook.
    Ideally, what I'd like to do, is use my magic mouse and keyboard plugged into my MacBook with the lid closed, but the display appearing on the bigger monitor. Can I do this?
    Thanks

    Both is expected behaviour when using external display with your MAcBook.

    Apple calls this closed clamshell mode. See here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131

  • Trying to get a Wasp 800 to work with an iPad 2

    Good Morning All,
    Recently, my department has purchased a few iPad 2's, and we'd like to use a bluetooth scanner.  One of our guys purchased a Wasp 800 thinking it would work because it's bluetooth.  I tried it and called customer support twice this morning and didn't have any luck.  I was curious if anyone here had any insight on this issue.
    http://www.waspbarcode.com/scanners/cordless_barcode_scanner.asp

    Just out of curiosity, read the wasp manual, and see what the bt protocols it uses are, then look at the specs for the pad3 and see if they are in the new one.  Or, better yet, take you wasp down to the apple store next week, and try it there, see if it connects. 
    Won't help your issue with the current 2s, but would at least give you a hint about future purchases.
    There were some older threads along the same lines, and while I cannot find it, someone did get a connect using a wired via the cck to the pad.
    You may just have bought the wrong scanner.  See the link below.

  • SB X-Fi XtremeGamer on Vista, trying to get Virtual Midi Keyboard to work with Reaso

    I've got a Vista 32 quad core computer with the Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer sound card. I'm trying out Reason 4, an advanced music production program that needs a midi keyboard. I downloaded Maple Midi and Virtual Midi Keyboard so I can try it out without buying a real midi keyboard.
    The Virtual Midi Keyboard makes no sound when the Maple Midi ports are selected which are the only ones that Reason 4 can see, and when selected Reason acknowledges when I press a note on the keyboard though no sound. the other Midi ports 2-SB X-Fi Synth A, B etc make sound but Reason 4 can't see them.
    And then using Soundfont Bank Manager I see a virtual keyboard and it shows the 4 Maple Midi ports and makes noise with any of them selected but Reason 4 can't seem to see or select this virtual keyboard.
    Any ideas? I'm new to music and audio editing, so it may be something obvious that I've overlooked.

    Yes, its showing up in the device manager and states its working properly with no errors, I tried uninstalling/reinstalling it in 3 of my PCI slots.
    The first time I installed it, I uninstalled my onboard sound like the intructions stated before I installed the new one, why I had to reformat and start from scratch so I can manually disable it in the BIOS because all that is on my partition.
    The only thing that comes up with the card to pick from is my MIDI player, but nothing else, but even with that I get no sound because I cant raise the volume on any volume control.

  • Trying to get Oblivion and Morrowind to work with Commercial Wine

    I hope this message is helpful and I hope to get some feedback about what could be improved about my approach. I researched some stuff I desided to do a free trial of Crossover "The commercial Wine" Which is more GUI and easier to configure. I've got Oblivion to install Sound works, graphics are supurb but it is VERRRY SLOW I've heard of Open GL but couldn't find it in the local community repo. Oblivion needs from what I understand is direct3d or the ActiveX that installs with the game disk. If there are any solutions. I'd be glad to hear them.  Does Windows directX hinder the running of PC Games on a Linux system or would it be better to get the latest optimized Linux i686 DirectX?

    Does Windows directX hinder the running of PC Games on a Linux system
    Yes
    would it be better to get the latest optimized Linux i686 DirectX?
    There is none. directx is strictly microsoft stuff.
    Wine translates directx calls to opengl calls on the fly.
    The easiest way if wine doesn't work is to buy cedega, which would have pretty up to date directx "support".

  • Can't get my 3rd Party Sales Order to create the PO automatically...

    I'm trying to get the 3rd Party Sales Order process to work and I would like it to create the PO automatically (it is already creating the requisition without issue). I have:
    i) Set the Auto PO on the Item Category
    ii) Set the ALE paramenters asociated with the Sales Org definition
    iii) Set the Auto PO on the Vendor Master
    iv) Set the Auto PO flag on the Purchasing tab of my NLAG material
    v) Created a Vendor Info record
    BUT I still don't get a PO being created automatically .... can anyone see where the problem may be?

    I have since confirmed that I can trigger a PO creation by running ME59N BUT the PO is not created automatically when I save the sales order despite what the help text on the item category implies.
    I think I have already done every you have suggested and even a little more, or maybe I'm missing something? Do I need to do something with ALE - turn something on perhaps? Have you actiually seen this functionality working? I'd love to hear from someone who has.

  • How can I get my Canon A620 to work with Windows 7

    Just signed up here, ot the brightest with tech stuff. I'm trying to get my Powershot A620 to work with Windows 7. I'm guessing there's drivers I need to down load ? Will they be on the Canon website or on this help site ? 
    I'll keep looking around. 
    Steve

    If you need photo software and don't have any you can download Canon software here.
    http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/digital_cameras/powershot_a_series/powershot_a620#Dri...
    But if you already have software you use there is nothing special you need. Ether connect the camera using a USB cable or remove the SD card from the camera and use a card reader (either an external one or the computer may already have one built in.)
    If  you decide to connect the camera via USB you don't need a driver; its built into W7.

  • Can't sign in using any 3rd party email client with my iCloud account on any Mac. Tried every settings, My iCloud only works with Mail.app

    Can't sign in using any 3rd party email client with my iCloud account on any Mac or any other Mac. My iCloud will only work with Mail.app. All the clients I tried work perfectly well as long as I sign in with somebody else's iCloud account. But mine won't work no matter the client (Postbox, Unibox, Airmail...) and no matter the computer.
    I can access my account on iCloud.com, but I can't use email clients without getting error messages prompting me to check my password or login.
    I was able to use those clients in the past but a couple of months ago I got logged out of Airmail and the issue started just like that!
    I tried every possible mail server settings including the following:
    IMAP information for the incoming mail server
    Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
    Port: 993
    Username: The name part of your iCloud email address (for example, emilyparker, not [email protected])
    Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP information for the outgoing mail server
    Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
    Port: 587
    SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    Username: Your full iCloud email address (for example, [email protected], not emilyparker)
    Password: Your iCloud password

    Those are the correct settings, and they work with any email client that supports Imap.
    Try again.
