Hi there, i am using a vigor 130 as vdsl modem for my Mikrotik. I decided to update the Virgor fimware to a more rescent verion, but as soon as i do it, the mikrotik pppoe-client can’t connect anymore, while dsl is in sync. If i go back to a much older firmware it works again. As there also are some security fixes i would like to upgrade the vigor frimware. Has anyone a Vigor running with a newer firmwas as 3.8.3_m7 ?
seasrching the forums it looks like a few others also had these problems, but downgrade is not so much of a solution i think.
For the UK (modem 4 or modem 8 ) there was an issue going from 3.7.x to 3.8.x with the introduction of QinQ support which had the symptoms you describe. Resetting to factory defaults and reconfiguring any settings required, e.g. LAN IP address for management access, resolved the problem. There are vulnerabilities in all versions prior to 3.8.5.1.
Thank for your post, so it will work, i just need to find out how.
As soon as i install 3.8.4.1 i can’t get any connection. 3.8.4 is working. I tried factory reset without success. 3.8.4 works with factory reset out of the box, without changing anything. Will try some more Modem Verions now, but m8 is not working too.
What do you mean with reconfiguring any settings? I only need to change what i need, not anything due to some strange firmaware bug with saved configs, or?
Yes, only any specific settings for managment. Here the factory defaults are bridge mode so the modem will establish a DSL connection and allow PPPoE or DHCP connections from the Mikrotik (or other router) to be established (most of our ISPs use PPPoE but some use DHCP).
The firmware for other countries may have different defaults for bridge vs. router mode and any tagged VLAN IDs.
Thanks for clarifitaction, then i do not know whats wrong. Can’t get the Mirkotik to connect on newer firmwares. I even compared config page by page to see if some defualt are changed, but its all the same 3.8.4 is working, anything from 3.4.8.1 ist not. Modem syncs perfektly, but pppoe dailin is not. If i compare ther logs on MT it simple looks like he is not getting an answer. He is not even trying to send the logindata.
As the PADI/PADO/PADR/PADS handshake completes successfully the PPPoE session should work, but there is no response to the LCP negotiation.
I would suggest connecting the modem directly to a PC/Mac and configuring a PPPoE client on that to verify a connection can be established, if that also fails then it would be a case for Draytek support.
Vlan7 was configured on the Vigor130, that works fine until 3.8.4. After 3.8.4.1 its not working anymore. I removed the vlan tagging on the Draytek Vigor and added the vlan 7 to my mikrotik interface. That solved the problem.
