Hello Mike, The Billion 8700NEXLR2 works well in bridge mode with NBN / FTTN / vdsl with a couple of caveats. These comments relate to an iiNet service where you connect to their service via IP over Ethernet (if you're not trying to bridge to the Mikrotik). That is, the connection is essentially DHCP, not PPPoE Unfortunately the Billion manual does not cover the configuration very well, so I will mention the key points here: - You need to connect the UTP cable, being connected to the Mikrotik WAN interface, to outlet 1 on the Billion - The DHCP Server must not be enabled on the Billion - The Billion WAN interface is PTM / Bridging - The Mikrotik WAN interface is DHCP Client Billion support were quite helpful in troubleshooting / assisting me to work this out. This has also generally been my experience with Billion which is one of the reasons that I use them. The iiNet supplied modem is a TG987, which is rubbish. Very home user oriented.

I currently run a 2x Vigor 130's for work.(1 NBN line & other on an ADSL2+ line). One of which is only 100 meters from the FTTN. Sync speed is 103594/39121. Current Firmware 3.8.0_m4(yes there is a newer v3.8.1.2 available!!)..Attainable rate 104964/45377.
Unit SNR tweaking is available -> http://www.draytek.com/en/faq/faq-connectivity/connectivity. wan/how-to-adjust-adsl-snr-value-(for-vigor130/2760/2860-only)/
I run both units in Bridged mode(PPPoE Pass-through), and let a couple of Mikrotik Routers run PPPoE / NAT on the back-end..
I haven't run into any issues with the 130's in 9 months I've had them
Cheers Greg

The vigor 130 does not run a Broadcom chipset so it looses about 10% sync speed.
I use NetComm nb10w in bridge mode. No issues with them

Oh - and the Vigor 130 must be in bridge mode obviously ;)

+1 for Vigor 130, been running for a number of months on a Telstra FTTN residential connection with RB2011 as DHCP client.
It's also possible to connect the original Telstra sagemcomm modem to the LAN (using it's WAN port) to register it as a Telstra VOIP only device with this setup.

Draytek Vigor130 works well, though has issues on short (> I'm told the latest firmware fixes this issue.
Telstra TG799vac works well.
Netcomm NF4V stay the hell away from ;) (When operating normally, they need a reboot every 12 hours or so. When operating in bridge mode, It randomly doesn't bridge unless you do PPPOE+Bridge, and then it doesn't start the bridge until the PPPOE is auth'd, so you burn TWO PPPOE logins (one on the NF4v, one on the 'tik)
Huawei HG658 works well, though annoyingly the interface you bridge to is taken out of the 'lan' bridge, so you have use a short cable to plug from (say) lan port 1 to 2, if you want to only use one port on your 'tik, and still have access to the 658's web interface.

Hi all!
I'm interested to hear any experiences using FTTN services bridged to LAN to present the service address directly to routerOS, for any ISP really, but in relation to modems supplied by iinet are most relevant for this case :-}
Any favourite modem hardware to use? Any known gotchas (e.g. dhcp lease at the head end) or limitations?
Any and all comments will be well received and very much appreciated! :-)
Thanks in advance, Regards Mike.
