Question
DrayTek proudly advertise that the Vigor 120 is a great match for a Time Capsule, so I bought it.
While I can successfully get online with the Vigor 120 on its own (stable and at reasonable speed) using iiNet’s specified broadband settings, I’ve had no success pairing it with my Time Capsule when following your tips and those of others on this thread.
Have you had any experience setting up or helping others set up the 120 with a Time Capsule?
The critical change for me was leaving the “Client for PPPoE/PPPoA” checkbox set to Enabled. My settings now work perfectly.
Also, I discovered my Vigor120 – bought around August last year – already had the latest firmware, so no upgrade was needed.
Solution
These are the precise settings I use when connecting to my ISP (in my case iiNet, who specify VPI and VCI numbers):
SETUP: DrayTek Vigor120
1. Navigate to Internet Access -> PPPoE / PPPoA
2. Use the following settings:
PPPoE/PPPoA Client: Enable
VPI 8
VCI 35
Encapsulating Type: VC MUX
Protocol: PPPoA
Modulation: Multimode
PPPoE Pass-through – For Wired LAN: Checked
SETUP: Apple Time Capsule
In Internet Settings (via Assisted or Manual Setup) use the following settings:
Connect using: PPPOE

Connection: Always On
