As my Cable ISP still can't provide a working connection since 7 days now I got a new DSL connection from another provider.
So I bought the Vigor 166 and use it now for testing in router mode with PPPoA and fixed IP, works fine...
But when I put the DSL modem in bridge mode I can't use my RB behind it to negotiate with the ISP.
Read in old threads here that PPPoA isn't possible with RouterOS....only a link where I need to use PPPoE with the DSL modem which in turn does PPPoA,
but that link is dead by now.
What confuses me is that when the Vigor 166 is in Router mode, it offers in the PPPoA/PPPoE settings:
Code: Select all
If this box is checked while using the PPPoA protocol, the router will behave like a modem which only serves the PPPoE client on the LAN.
How do other people run successfully a DSL G.fast connection with RouterOS and PPPoA?
thanks in advance
