I recently migrated from RB760iGS (hEX S) to E60iUGS (hEX S 2025) and I notices something weird when I recently re-set it up as PPPoE router.
Using the “Quick Set”, though I’ve selected Eth1 as the WAN port and configured the username and password, I wasn’t able to get an internet connection.
Only to find out this created a PPP interface on Eth2 (!) instead.
Manually changing that, fixed the issue but something is acting up here.
Another difference I see from the new hEX S 2025 vs the old hEX S it that “ether1” is not listed in Switch > Ports for some reason.
Among weathered forum veterans, QuickSet is considered as a hack which should be avoided if possible. There were other bugs discovered in the past, but this one is new one to me.
So my advice:
after device reset, use QuickSet to create the PPPoE client interface (on ether1) and see if it again creates pppoe client on ether2. If it does, then create a supout.rif file.
Open a support ticket, describing the problem (and attach supout file, created in previous bullet if applicable)
reset device to defaults and create the PPPoE client interface manually (through proper WebFig / Winbox UI). Don't forget to add pppoe-out1 interfae to WAN interface list to allow all the firewall stuff to properly work.
Never look at QuickSet again ... and live happily ever after.
There is something "strange" with Quickset on recent models or ROS versions, there is already another report of it making use of ether2 instead of ether1 on another device, the hap Ax s:
According to the above, it should have been fixed in a new version, which ROS are you running?
Make sure to have a recent version AND reset the default configuration to the new one, see the post by Amm0 in the linked thread..
