Hi Everyone!

I would like to create a router with a Raspberry Pi: but as you probably know, if you have Fibre/UFB in NZ (on Spark at least), you need VLAN Tagging (set to 10) the NTU ((whatever it is) set to the max (usually 1495 (woah there are a lot of brackets!))). Also PCP set to 0, protocol needs to be PPPoE, and the Spark username and password. This is from my list from when I called Spark up when I couldn't figure out my router settings .

How do I use these settings? Also if I have missed anything out please tell me!

Thanks,

Ben

A Raspberry Pi will not be a great router as it is a 100Mbit Ethernet port switched over USB direct to the CPU.

If you still want to try ensure:
1) You know iptables.
2) You understand performance will not be great and
3) You've got everything firewalled off correctly - be responsible.

The page you're looking for is here: https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfiguration#Howto_use_vlan_.28dot1q.2C_802.1q.2C_trunk.29_.28Etch.2C_Lenny.29

Now, if you're using Raspbian it uses dhcpcd which means you'll need to disable the interface in dhcpcd to use standard Linux networking support. Add "denyinterfaces eth0" to your /etc/dhcpcd.conf file and then edit /etc/network/interfaces to set everything up. You'll need to set up a PPPoE dialer to run over your VLAN 10 interface.

For a distro I'd recommend DietPi over Raspbian if you want the best performance. Bare in mind like I said it will not be great...

It sounds like you're trying to solve a person problem with technology. That never works. If Wi-Fi is the problem, turn off Wi-Fi and leave the router on, then make sure your machine is wired instead.
