Basically as the title says.
I don't have a current screenshot so I've had to rip one from the internet, and the screenshot I've got is from an RT, not a DSL Model, but the options are the same.
I'm not really sure what the issue is here? I've followed a guide on EE's website to no avail.
I've been given a username and password which I'm assuming is for .1x or something similar. I also have an option for a VLAN ID but the guide on EE's website states that a copper connection does not need a VLAN ID.
I think it's also worth mentioning that when I got the router it was second hand and upon plugging it in and connecting via ethernet, I was able to ping Google. I had to factory reset it after that as the previous owner hadn't left me the login credentials, but the point is that I know it works.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated!

@dav_gamble96 Link to third party router setup, if you have an fttc connection then settings are per Fibre.

Which type of BB have you? Is it ADSL or VDSL (FTTC). Both are copper to the house. VDSL needs the VLAN ID = 101, ADSL doesn't.
In Using & Configuring a Third Party Router you'll find everything you need to set up your router incl. the BB PPPoE Username & pwd. which are now the same as BT's (Username = bthomehub@btbroadband.com / pwd = BT or leave blank). What did you mean by '.1x'?
The ASUS DSL AC86U contains an ADSL/VDSL modem & so you'll see settings for the modem, like VLAN ID. VPI/VCI. The RT model doesn't, so such settings won't be there in your image (which I can hardly read anyway).
