Re: PPPOE codes for connection to third party router

Thanks @mae-3 

 

so Instead of dmz'ing the main gateway eero, should I be port forwarding the ip's for the games consoles instead?

 

Ive never done that before is it complicated?

It is better security-wise to port forward the ports required only that are needed through each router and not use the DMZ method. It isn't that difficult, just forward the ports from the internet sitting router and don't use the DMZ method, TP-Link in your case to the internal router and then forward the ports from the internal router to the game console or whatever else you use.

 

I use this method myself as I have 8 public IP addresses and use a 1-1 on /29 NAT block through a firewall, and then forward the ports through the firewall individually and then through an internal router for game console and gaming PC without any issues whatsoever. And I port forward in the same way for internet servers, web, email and Jitsi meet video server, etc... 😀

Re: PPPOE codes for connection to third party router

Hi, been reading through all of this and pulling my hair out! I've got an openreach modem (white box) on wall. I've purchased a TP Link AX3000 to replace sky router. My old TP link worked fine plugged straight into open reach modem, but this new one won't connect to internet. 

 

In set up it doesn't give option to have DHCP Option 61, just static/dynamic/PPPoe and two other random ones and when using PPPoe with the log in detials provided it doesn't work. 

 

How do I set up using IPv6 PD settings when I have to state which internet protical i'm using from abive first? 

 

Thanks in advance

For dhcpv6 prefix delegation authentication in absence of option 61

 

Enable both ipv4/ipv6 dual stack on the wan

Enable dhcpv6 dynamic on the wan

Enable pd/prefix delegation on the wan

For address creation on the lan select slaac/ stateless

Re: PPPOE codes for connection to third party router

HI @Tom98261 .. do you mean the openreach filter / fibre splitter, or an actual modem? i thought if you was with Sky they supplied you with a combined modem router?

 

the TP-Link you have mentioned is just a router, i think,  so you shouldnt need to add any broadband protocols,  just connected it to the modem. via the blue port on the back?

 

TBH i have limited knowledge, hopefully @mae-3  might be able to explain better?...sorry

So I tried to input what you asked, but still not working. Taken images of each step so hope this helps. 

 

I used dynamic as don't know the user name or password of PPPOE (which says it's meant to be when setting up?)

 

I took a picture of open reach modem, when i tried my old TP link router, that worked fine with this modem. I guess new routers have way more to sort out!

Re: PPPOE codes for connection to third party router

UPDATE.

 

Having found out TP Link routers don't work directly connected to ONT on wall. I sent back and got a ASUS RT AX 88U. Though any of the RT AX range will work. Very simply logged in to router set to Dynamic IP and under the DHCP put in the details the other champs have said in this thread and bingo!! 

 

Using the 5gz option I now have wifi speeds of over 300 mbs in all areas of my house where as sky router would drop connection in those far areas. 

 

Thanks to all in this thread

Re: PPPOE codes for connection to third party router

@mae-3 

Hope you can help. My recent Netgear router packed up and they have stopped making them. So we now have a Draytek Vigor which I want to set up as the new router and then reconnect to our Orbi mesh. Basically the same set up that's worked for years but with the Draytek router rather than Netgear.

 

Sky have also since renewed our deal to the latest broadband (not fibre) and sent us the SR203.

 

Can you tell me how I configure the Internet Access options on the Draytek? Reading this thread I can't make out whether I use PPPoA or not. On the netgear I did use PPPoA and somehow used Wireshark to get the DSL username etc from the older Sky router. However using Wireshark on the SR203 I can't find the required details. 

I'd really appreciate the help - this is killing our work from home. Many thanks.

 

For context we have about 50 devices in the home which is why the original router was replaced by our netgear / Orbi combo. The SR203 is supposed to be better with multiple devices, but it seems to still struggle.

Re: PPPOE codes for connection to third party router

Hi can anyone advise which router to buy with dhcp option 61 ?

@Daniel82 

 

Asus routers are the most compatible and most support DHCP Option 61 and DHCPv6 PD.
