AFAIK these are the only settings I need after changing it to PPPoE connection.
I'm using merlin 3004.388.8_2.
The WWW/WAN light on the router is white, as well as the Wifi lights, I have the www port hooked up to the port on the newly-installed yesterday openreach box, and all the lights are blinking green, ISP says connection should be good to go, the 2.5G light on the router is red but that's probably because nothing is using it yet, wifi connects but router says 'connecting to remote server now'

In the only error I can see is 'timeout waiting for PADO packet'

I don't have the HomeHub they gave me years ago at my old address because I didn't need it so just sold it on ebay for £30, all I've done is move it from one address to another now - does it need to be plugged in at least once with a homehub to 'activate' the connection here or something like that? or am I just misconfiguring it?

Edit: I had dual wan disabled but primary wan as 1G and so I tried changing it to dual-wan, bingo works, back to single and just moved the port to the 2.5g one. Easy fix but just wanted to post my solution.
