Amplifi HD - Draytek Vigor 2860n to Amplifi HD on BT - No IP address
-
Hello all,
TLDR: Amplify HD always says "no ip address" no matter what I seem to do when setup behind the Draytek Vigor 2860.
I've just purchased an Amplifi HD and some Mesh Points to upgrade my apartment wifi from a piece of trash that is the BT Homehub 6.
I've got an old Draytek Vigor 2860n (I'm fully aware this is overkill, but I had it already) I'm not using so I figured I'd use it as the modem.
Draytek Vigor 2860 -> Amplifi HD
If I use JUST the Draytek 2860n the connection works fine by just setting the VLAN to 101 and the PPPOE login to homehub@btbroadband.com and the password to BT.
I then plug in my AmplifiHD to LAN 1 and switch the Vigor to bridge mode, put the PPPOE details in Amplify and just get "No IP address". As far as I can tell this should just work.
I've tried:
- resetting both
- tried with and without the VLAN setting in Amplifi or either
- the Draytek just with factory defaults
- the Draytek in both Bridge and not Bridge
- DHCP on or off.
I'm just banging my head against the wall here. No matter what I do, I just get "No IP Address" on my AmplifyHD. Can anyone provide details on what exactly the settings on the Draytek and Amplifi should be? I must be missing some setting here or making some rookie mistake.
Happy to provide any other details. I really have no clue what I'm doing wrong here.
Please save me.
Thanks!

Did you do:
WAN >> Internet Access : PPPoE Pass-through -> And TICKED the box "For Wired LAN" on your Vigor?
Also if you connect your PC directly to your Vigor in Modem/Router mode, can you get an IP address and connect to the net?

Yes I could connect directly through the Vigor.
That box did the trick. Thank you so much! Don't know how I missed it.

@hphsts Glad it has worked for you but I would still prefer to use my Vigor as the main router and put the AmpliFi in Bidge mode. This is purely so that I don't lose out on any of the amazing features the 2860 router has to offer.
