I just got a VDSL modem installed by Vodafone. It is in bridge mode.
I can connect to it fine direct from my PC using PPPoE network connection, however I am having problems connecting to it via routers (I've tried a couple).

Currently I am connecting with a Dlink DIR-300, it's just a wireless router.

I've tried various combinations of Static IP with .10 and .1 and checked the login and password a hundred times. Still get internet disconnected.Router setup
Oh, and tried with dynamic ip - it fails faster.
I've updated to auto connect, no joy. Turned off all devices and restarted in various sequences... nothing.

Anything else...!

Oh well, turns out it's the router - DLINK DIR-300 is a bad match for Clear/Telstra/Vodafone VDSL. I used a Draytek Vigor 9020 and it's fine, connected straight away. I'm guessing the DLINK has the wrong encapsulation.

What was the modem they installed that's in bridge mode? Did you try with "Service Name" blank/empty on the PPPoE config in the DLink?

It looks like the D-Link DIR-300 is supported by OpenWRT.  You could look at upgrading the DIR-300 to run OpenWRT.  I have found OpenWRT works well with PPPoE when I have used it in the past.
