PPPoE Troubleshooting

I’m new to Mikrotik… and not a network expert, so here it goes:

I’ve watched about 20 tutorials online on how to setup a pppoe client on Mikrotik, but I can’t get it to work.

I’ve set my modem to bridge, dhcp turned off, lan ip address 192.168.1.1, subnet mask 255.255.255.0.

In Mikrotik I’ve configured a pppoe client, but when I click on “apply” it just stays “connecting…”. And it never connects - nor do I get an error.

My username and login are correct - according to the ISP.

I’ve tried bridging, creating ip pools and configuring a dhcp server, but I don’t think it would have any impact on the pppoe client connecting or not - right?

ps: on my eth1 I have the modem connected (wan). On the following 4 eth ports I have 3 ap’s and a computer. My Mikrotik came preconfigured with eth2 being a local-master and the rest local-slaves. should I leave it so? can I leave one of my ap’s as master?

After 24h of uninterrupted agony, I found out that I had to enable multiple protocols over a single pvc on my bridge modem (the issue was indeed with the modem, not the mikrotik)
