New PPPoE fiber

[Dokmone]

Self taught Noobe here. Just recently switching to Fiber from cable. Reading that my GT-AX1100 should be able to replace their router. As far as I can tell I need to have the PPPoE credentials and swap VLAN tagging. I have found where to setup the VLAN but not to switch from DHCP to PPPoE. The ISP is Kinetic which I believe is like CenturyLink. I have the most recent Merlin uploaded on the main and node (RT-AC88U) hardwired. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Under WAN is the Connection Type and one of the options is PPOE. I use automatic for a cable modem, but the settings on the WAN page change in these ways when I pick PPOE. I can't tell you how these features operate, but its accounted for in the WAN setup of Asus Merlin. I've had 3 Asus routers with Merlin including an AC88 (but not a GT-AX110), the PPOE option has been on all of them

This appears:

Also, a WAN account settings (Auto/PAP/CHAP under PPP Authentication)

It looks like there could be help under "similar threads" by scrolling to the bottom of this page.

Thank You @paulbates. Apparently Kinetic doesn't use VLAN and all I needed was the PPPoE setting. I am now connected without their hardware. My router doesn't think I am connected though and can't monitor traffic. I am getting speed tests of 580-600 though.

YW... I'm out of my territory with utilizing PPOE on asus.

• This post from below seems related, especially passthrough, DNS.
• This post too, sounds like things to try

What does the General log file show after you boot up the router?

Zipptydoodah!
I've a PPPoE connect also, and sometimes on reboot I get that "disconnected" as well. Just reload the page Crtl-F5 and usually Bob's your uncle.
Does your provider offer Native IPv6? turn it on, if it's available to you.

You may want/need to input the MAC address of your provider's router/modem in the appropriate spot in the Asus' WAN setup page.

Awesome working good for me now. I will check on the IPv6. I guess I will hook up the provider router to get the Mac address. It wasn't even hooked up for 12 hours before I was getting rid of it. Never even logged into it. You guys are awesome. Thanks for helping me out. Any other tips?

You may refer to Merlin post if your internet report disconnected:

Release - Asuswrt-Merlin 386.4 is now available

After a long wait, the new version of Asuswrt-Merlin is now available. 386.4 merges with GPL 386_45958 (plus a number of security fixes backported from newer code), updates various components, and also adds support for the RT-AX86S (uses the same firmware as the RT-AX86U). The highlights of...

Your ISP should provide you with the precise details of the connection set up. e.g., here are my ISP generic connection details for FTTC (see the section Service Protocols: ):

there's usually a sticker on the side/bottom that will show you the MAC...usually no need to power it up
