title: Vodafone PPPoE CityFibre
3+
---
4+
5+
## What
6+
7+
If you have no intentions to use the locked down, cheap Vodafone router that they supply you, you will need to have the PPPoE credentials
8+
in order to use a third party router.
9+
10+
If you are unsure what PPPoE is, please refer to the [Wikipedia page on PPPoE](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-to-Point_Protocol_over_Ethernet)
11+
12+
## Some notes
13+
14+
As far as I can tell, this guide will only work on CityFibre, due to the VLAN. However the rest of the guide remains true
15+
16+
## Getting your PPPoE credentials
17+
18+
You will need to contact customer service.
19+
20+
Be firm but polite around needing the credentials. They will give you the usual garbage about how _uSINg A thiRD parTy RouTEr May ADd isSuES aND InSTability WE MaY NOt be ABle to troubLEsHoOT iSsUEs_ - and to that I say... Poo you!
21+
22+
You can use the below
23+
24+
```text
25+
Hello Support. Please provide me with the PPPoE username and password for my connection.
26+
27+
I need this copy and pasted in to the chat, as some characters (like 0 and o) look similar.
28+
29+
If possible please can you text this to me
30+
```
31+
32+
## PPPoE details
33+
34+
Regardless of your router, you will require the below details
35+
36+
| Field name | Value |
37+
|------------|-----------------------------------------|
38+
| `VLAN ID` | `911` |
39+
| Username | `dsl#########@broadband.vodafone.co.uk` |
40+
| Password | What ever Vodafone gave you |
41+
42+
## Add Vodafone to Unifi
43+
44+
Navigate to **Settings** > **Internet**
45+
46+
Click on the interface that has your cable plugged in to.
47+
48+
Give it a name, for example `Vodafone`
49+
50+
Under the Advanced field, click `Manual`
51+
52+
Set the below:
53+
54+
* `VLAN ID` set it to `911`
55+
* IGMP Proxy `Default`
56+
* IPv4 Configuration `PPPoE`
57+
* Username: `dsl#########@broadband.vodafone.co.uk`
58+
* Password: _What vodafone provided_
59+
60+
