Greetings
I’ve been trying to configure my first mikrotik to manage my home network for two weeks now.
I have basic knowledge about networking (enough to set a home network with user friendly routers), and tired of bad router quality, I decided to go for mikrotik and, why not, learn something new.
The scheme is:
ISP modem-router ---------> Mtk hAP ac^2 -------> wired and wireless clients
After some reading and youtube videos, I figured out I want my ISP modem-router in bridge mode and Mtk handling PPPoE, so I did the following config:
1°) Tried quickset with no success
2°) Reset config without default settings and tried this config:
/interface pppoe-client
add add-default-route=yes disabled=no interface=ether1 name=pppoe-out1 \
password=******** use-peer-dns=yes user=********@speedy
3°) Updated firmware and ROS to latest version
4°) Checked for DHCP client on ether1, disabling encryption in default profile, changing MTU to values lower than 1500 (ISP mrouter uses 1480)
5°) Tried different modem-routers I have (TPLINK TD-W8968, FiberHome HG110, Huawei EchoLife HG520c and Mitrastar DSL-2401HN-T1C)
None of the above steps got me any further than PADI:

I’ve seen in some videos that some rules under mangle are created automatically when setting up PPPoE, but It doesn’t happen in my case, I guess it’s because that happens once any response comes from the ISP-mrouter.
Would you please point what I’m doing wrong, or any suggestion?
This is how /interface looks actually:
[admin@MikroTik] /interface> print
Flags: D - dynamic, X - disabled, R - running, S - slave
# NAME TYPE ACTUAL-MTU L2MTU MAX-L2MTU
0 R ether1 ether 1500 1598 9214
1 ether2 ether 1500 1598 9214
2 ether3 ether 1500 1598 9214
3 ether4 ether 1500 1598 9214
4 R ether5 ether 1500 1598 9214
5 X wlan1 wlan 1500 1600 2290
6 X wlan2 wlan 1500 1600 2290
7 pppoe-out1 pppoe-out
[admin@MikroTik] /interface>
And RB model:
# jan/02/1970 00:02:16 by RouterOS 6.44.3
# software id = BFWB-6JA2
#
# model = RBD52G-5HacD2HnD
Thank you in advance, and sorry for any misspell, english is not my mother language
