Log onto Fritz!box UI and go to the Top Right corner and enable the Advanced View option.

Then go to INTERNET > DSL Information and set Annex to B, if based in UK and Using VDSL (FTTC) or Annex A if you are using ADSL and ADSL+ (unsure if needed, but did it just to be sure).

Then go to INTERNET > ACCOUNT INFORMATION and select

• Connect to DSL Line (check box)
• Account information (No)
• Connection Settings > Change Connection Settings
• * VLAN ID (101) for BT Fibre and Plusnet Fibre
• * Encapsulation > Routed Bridge Encapsulation and check the obtain the IP address automatically check box

Then Select PPPoE Passthrough and check the 'Connected Devices are also allowed to their own Internet connection' box.

Do not forget to disable the 2.4GHz and 5Ghz wifi and I use LAN1 for the connection from Modem (Fritz!Box) to existing Router (WAN Port)

Hope this proves a good use for the Fritz!Box 3490, as it does use the Lantiq (XWAY VRX288) xDSL chipset and works a treat on both ECI and Huawei DSLAMS in the UK
