BYO Modem on Belong FTTB

Hi,
I have Belong NBN on a FTTB connection (telephone cable brings it into my apartment from comms room). Am wanting to change modem/router as their one is more locked down that I'd like.

I have a TP-Link TD-W8961N (https://www.tp-link.com/au/support/download/td-w8961n/) ADSL2 router at home already.

I was told Belong used IPoE so I presumed I wouldnt required any PPPoE login credentials. But I am having trouble getting it to work. I currently have the following settings: https://imgur.com/yf1z39V I have tried PPPoE without credentials and Dynamic IP as the ISP type with no luck. IPoE is not an option here (although I thought DHCP might by a subcategory of IPoE). This is the status screen I am getting: https://imgur.com/ylLuyWJ

I was hoping someone could advise what the correct settings would be or if my modem is not supported.

Thanks.

    Grab yourself a DJA0230 aka Telstra Smart Modem. They're ~$35 on eBay/Gumtree and work great.
