There may be a simpler answer, depending on whether your existing 
router is locked down to TalkTalk or not.

If it isn't, once your BT service goes live you just need to log in to 
your existing router and change the broadband username/password to 
something along the lines of firstname.lastname@btbroadband.com for 
the username, and Any0ldRubb1sh for the password. No other 
configuration changes should be necessary, unless any of the settings 
that follow are different...

VPI -  0
VCI - 38
Encapsulation - PPPoA (PPP over ATM)
Multiplexing - VC-Mux or VC Based

Assuming this works, your existing network settings will do just fine, 
TYVM.

Only gotcha is that if you need tech support, they will probably ask 
you to connect up the BT Home Hub, so don't flog it on any well-known 
auction sites...
