Eir F3000 FTTH VPN

    Looking for some help with the following scenario, if anyone can assist..

    I have Draytek Vigors 2860 setup in 2 locations with Site-2-Site VPN setup and working fine until in Site1 e-fibre was replaced with FTTH. With this the router was replaced with a new F3000 and the phone moved from a standard PSTN line to VOIP.

    I need to re-establish the vpn between sites again, but if i put the F3000 in bridge mode, I lose the phone and with vigor attached to the F3000 the VPN fails to connect.

    Site2 has mobile broadband Huawei router and the Draytek sits behind this.

    I tired putting Ubiquit Edge routers in with the Draytek on one port and the F3000 on another but the public IP address changes every few mintutes so impossible to keep the VPN alive. I also tried putting in Netgear managed switches but cannot get the VPN to connect.

    Any help appreciated.

    Somethings wrong there. You should be releasing at most once/day. Id start diagnosing this.


    If you could find your own VOIP solution then you can remove the F3000 entirely and connect the dray to the ONT.

    Setting an internal device as a DMZ worked for me and the phone still works.
