This guide will show you how to configure the Vigor2860 router to connect to TPG VDSL2 NBN connection.

Step 2: Check firmware version installed in the router

The Vigor2860 is shipped with the standard firmware version. VDSL2 NBN uses Vectoring. Therefore you will need to update the firmware in the router to the vector version.  To do this, download the firmware from the link below:

Once the firmware is installed proceed to the next step.

Click on WAN 1 link to configure WAN 1 details.

1.        Select Yes for Enable option.

4.        Select Enable for VLAN Tag insertion.

6.        Click OK to save the settings

The router will now restart.

Step 4 – Configure WAN>>Internet Access

Login into the router once the router has restarted

Go to WAN>>Internet Access configuration menu

1.        For WAN 1 select PPPoE/PPPoA for Access mode
2.        Click Details Page button

1.        Select Enable      
2.        In ISP Access Setup section enter the required details:
3.        Username and password as supplied by TPG
4.        Click OK to save the settings

The router will now restart.

Step 5 – Check the router is connected to TPG VDSL

Login into the router once the router has restarted.
