Greetings,
I have just implemented PPPoE to provide a broadband connection to homes in a housing complex. I read the wiki on how to implement it and clients can connect but only for a few minutes then they get disconnected and have to manually reconnect. Here is my configuration:
We have a MikroTik RBSXT-5nDr2-US set up in router mode connecting to another on the building where we have a 400 Mbit fiber connection. The RBSXT on mounted on the tower is configured as a PPPoE server on ETH1 which is connected to a switch where a VLAN is also configured to keep traffic separated from our internal network. Two Rocket M5 AP’s are how clients are connecting to the tower and then to ETH1 port on the RBSXT then to the main building.
On the client side they have an M5 Loco setup in bridge mode connecting them to the tower and a Linksys WRT54GL router acting as a client AP and PPPoE client on the WAN port. (I have eliminated the client radio link to the tower as the problem by connecting one of the Linksys routers directly to the switch at the tower with the same results of being disconnected after a couple minutes or less.)
Troubleshooting so far:
(I am in the testing phase and have not attempted to connect more than one client so far because of the connection issue)
1 Connected Client router directly to the switch at the Tower.
2 Set the keep alive to zero so clients are logged until they manually disconnect.
3 Manually set the MTU and MRU on the RBSXT to 1480 as suggested by some forum members.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
