    Should work, but might be slower in terms of VDSL speed depending on the chipset used for the modem.
    Main setting you need to set is the VLAN ID for the WAN/VDSL connection should be set to 10. Believe also the MTU should be 1500 on the WAN connection but open to be corrected. Addresses for the WAN IP and DNS can be left to DHCP/ autoassign

    I think eir's efibre uses a form of vectoring to improve the speed which is only available on some modems

    It might be cheaper to keep the f2000 and buy a router and turn your f2000 in to bridge mode and connect a router to the f2000

    This is the setup I'm using, with a TP link cable router.

    As a modem the F2000 is very stable, the routing sucks.

    The ASUS DSL-AC68U supports vectoring/G.993.5/G.vector, but keeping the F2000 as a modem only is also an option which gives you a larger choice of wireless routers.
