Using a Vigor 166 G.fast modem with EE Fibre max 300

[Thomas1979]

Hi,

I have just bought a Vigor 166 G.Fast Modem to use with my WiFi 6 router and EE Fibre max 300 connection.

My broadband username is readytoconnect@fs

The guide says for the broadband password "you'll need the login details or the password that came with your EE router" 

My question is does that mean the Wireless password/key or Admin password or something else? I do not have any other passwords other than my EE login to web account? 

Any help gratefully received.

Hi @Thomas1979,

Welcome to the community 🙂

Have you tried to use the router WiFi password to connect?

Has this allowed access?

Modem arrives on Tuesday. Hoping to have everything ready for it hence the question. Thanks for your reply

Hi @Thomas1979,

Let me know how you get on when it arrives using those details.

@Thomas1979  you should have a read of these articles Using your own router and Home Broadband settings not forgetting VLAN ID -101.

[Thomas1979]

Thanks yes I’ve read them but it’s not clear. 

it says follow these instruction if your broadband user name is readytoconnect@fs and links to this 

follow our step-by-step guide to setting up your own router

where it’s says

broadband password: you'll need the login details or the password that came with your EE router

I want to know if that means the WiFi password the admin login or my ee webpage login it’s not very clear to me which password it refers to

[Mustrum]

No it is not the wifi password - that is only for wifi on that router.

Your broadband username and password will be PRODUCTIONXXXXYYYYY.fs and the section describes how the password follows.

[Thomas1979]

But when I login to my EE router it says my broadband name is readytoconnect@fs 

I have no information about PRODUCTIONXXXXYYYYY.fs what are the x and ys meant to be? 

cheers

Is your service live yet?

I understood the readytoconnect changed once the router went live, but maybe that is just on ADSL/.

[Thomas1979]

Yes its live Im connected with the EE router atm and its settings are as follows.
