[Virgin-Rez]

Hey folks,

Long time no post! My family and I have moved to India for two years with work and I've brought out most of my IT kit with me to save on buying while here (and nowhere to store it all!)

We've signed up to a FTTH broadband connection which for some reason only likes to work when connected directly to my laptop!

This is both puzzling and infuriating as I'm spending far too long trying to resolve what should be a straightforward connection.

The Linksys E3200 worked beautifully with my Virgin Superhub before we left... the superhub was relegated to simple modem mode, an ethernet cable to the router and both wireless and wired connections were available.

The FTTH modem is a AONT-100C by Alphion. In my mind this should simply be outputting (for want of a better term) a LAN signal... and indeed it does when connected to my laptop. Plug it into the E3200's yellow 'Internet' port and it doesn't matter if I use a wired or a wireless connection I cannot get the data to pass through the router.

The router therefore feels like it is the source of the problem. I've reset the router back to factory settings and still no joy on either connection type.

Any thoughts or advice greatly appreciated.
