Connecting netopia router to smart

I am using a
Thomson router

to connect to smartelecom

and I wanted to use an old
Router Name Netopia / Model 3347NWG


The first problem was finding the correct settings.

If you have the latest firmware installed I have version 7.7.0r6 I have Netopia 3347NWG wireless router Check for latest for your model.
Then go to start menu clickk run then type cmd hit enter then follow these instructions.

Telnet to the modem\router ->
1. telnet 192.168.1.254
2. Username \ Passwords (if required i myself did not have to)
3. Type in *Configure* (with out the * of course)
4. Type in *dmt type*
5. Type in *set adsl2+*
6. Tpye in *up*
7. Type in *up* (you should now be back at top level where you started)
8. Type in *ppp*
9. Type in *set*
10. Keep hitting enter until port-authentication appears, then change to
11. type in *pap-only*
12. Press "ENTER"

I am now using my wireless router with smart not bridging it with another router.
Hope this might help you in some way

I found that my router was doing CHAP by default as opposed to PAP, which is the required setting.

On the graphical configuration there is NO place to set that, so thanks that I found that post with the telnet instructions.

So here is my telnet conversation

----------
$ telnet 192.168.1.254
Trying 192.168.1.254...
