I've been having issues with connecting my TP Link ER605 router directly to my ONT Modem for FTTP. The Router has PPPoE capabilities, and I'm assuming that there is some configuration that I'm missing for Vodafone, as I know other people are successfully using these routers with other providers using PPPoE on FTTP. in my logs I get the following errors when it tries to connect:
Which suggests that the Vodafone end is booting the connection, likely to some misconfiguration. My current settings are as follows, minus the full username.
I have tried the VLAN id as 101 and disabled. I cannot set it to 0, although I haven't tried it on VLAN 1 yet, which I might try this evening. I've left IPv6 until I can establish a connection. Also IPTV is turned off for the connection.
As a side note, these are the full settings available under IPTV, although I dont think these are relevant unless I wanted to pass the Digital Voice setup into my network, but that's for another day. I'm sure it's possible, I just haven't seen anyone try it yet, and frankly I never use the landline so may just ditch it altogether.
I also tried cloning the MAC address of the Vodafone Router on the ER605, but still no dice.
I deliberately changed it for the picture. Although I'm not convinced they're correct. I've reattempted at lunch time with following:
- Internet VLAN disabled
- Internet VLAN enabled and ID set to 101
- Internet VLAN enabled, set to 101, and 802.1Q enabled.
With the first option I get the following logs, with an additional log line (not include in the image due to the username being present) - PPPOE [Username] failed to connect to the server because authentication failed with the wrong username or password.
With the second two options, I only get the PADI timeout error.
I've already confirmed my username and password with Vodafone twice, so unless there are separate details for ADSL lines and Fibre Lines, I'm pretty sure those are correct.
