When BT install and Setup Infinity they setup 2 boxes. One is the Infinity Modem which is presented with a standard telephone connection and the modems then presents a Ethernet connection. This then plugs into a BT Home Hub to provide the routing and NAT.
We needed to install a Draytek Router for a LAN to LAN VPN. Just to note if you provide your own router with BT infinity , it will need to be a Cable router not an ADSL Router. You cannot use the DSL Modem in a normal ADSL/ADSL2 Router to Sync with BT Infinity. Therefore a Draytek 2710 will not work with BT Infinity as it does not have a cable connection , only a 2820 ( Latest Model in the Draytek range ).
To set this up on a 2820, if you disable Wan1 ( The Adsl Port ) and then Go into Internet Access , then Enable Wan2 Port for PPPoE.
You will need to enter the following username :
bthomehub@btbroadband.com the password can be anything. After this the PPPoE connection will start, get the Dynamic IP address from BT and Start working!

Setting up Draytek Router on BT Infinity, 10.0 out of 10 based on 1 rating Tags: 2710 Infinity, 2820 Infinity, Draytek BT Infinity
Is there any way to set up a lan to lan VPN using BT Infinity without using any extra equipment other than the modem and BT HH?
Well I have a Vigor 3200n and I can’t get the cursed thing to work. This is for business use, not home use and we have a username and password which we have setup in the router. The [email protected] is off no use to us. As for disabling WAN1, I don’t think this applies to this router. I have two Fibre Optic BB connections from BTInfinity with the crappy 2wire routers. I need to get our Vigor3200n up and running so I can avail of the “Load Balancing” features of this new router, among other things. Can anyone help here… please….
