Hi.. My DSL-N17U has been working as a stand-alone modem/router and doing a lot of the work.. Just behind it, there is a RT-AC68U that's running Merlin.
The RT-AC68U does the LAN DHCP, and most of the routing/etc. This has been working fine, with DSL-N17U doing the PPPoE, 802.1Q enabled, on VDSL2 LAN PTM.
I thought I would switch the N17U to the Bridge mode because currently, I had to double-NAT and it's ugly and wasteful..
So, tried to set my DSL-N17U and the AC68U in Bridge mode..The two devices are connected via ethernet obviously.
However it never works.
On the N17U, setting the bridge mode is done, LAN port 1 selected..
I then went into RT-AC68U and changed the connection from Static IP to PPPoE, entered username and password.. Hit save.. I verified that I used the correct username/password.
However the RT-AC68U never shows a connection.. I'm using Turkish Telecom, TTNET..
I also couldn't find anything in the log files either, about what PPPoE was doing, and if it could connect to the remote site, etc..
Any ideas how to get the Bridge mode working?
Many thanks!
