Hello,

I just arrived at my student residence, the wifi is provided by Wifirst and I was also given a Thomson TG712 modem,
so I took the Wifirst subscription for 1 year and when I go to the wifi networks there is the Wifirst network with almost 0 wifi bars and my Thomson modem with all the bars, the problem is that I don't know how to use the modem,
that is to say when I connect to the modem I get to the configuration page, I enter routedPPP, VPI/VCI: 8.35, connection type: PPP over Ethernet and then I need to enter an identifier but I wasn't given anything about that.
I need help knowing that I wouldn't want to have paid for the Wifirst subscription for nothing.

Thank you

Configuration: Android / Chrome 65.0.3325.230

    Hi,
    have they explained to you what this router (what you call a modem) is for?
    you need to enter a username and a PPP password that must be provided by the ISP.

    and ... There you go!

      No, I wasn't told what it was for. So, it's Wifirst that should give me the identifier?

      If it's to connect at their place, yes.

      In fact, I can connect to the wifirst wifi, but the speed is extremely low, even nonexistent at times, and so I don't understand what the router is for since I can see its SSID but I don't have internet access with it.

      As long as the router is not connected to the internet, you will not have internet access with ....

      Alright, so if I understand correctly, I paid €150 to have a Wifirst connection with (speedtest results): 63 ping, 0.17 Mbps download, and 0.33 Mbps upload.
