    PPPoE no need for cloned MAC, how to use the "default"/factory one?

    It's fine with any MAC. I'm using the one the WAN port got from the factory and it's fine. I thought blank field meant default, i.e. factory MAC but that doesn't seem to be the case.

    PPPoE no need for cloned MAC, how to use the "default"/factory one?

    MRU/MTU are both 1492 as they should be IIRC. It works with the WAN MAC, it just doesn't work when the MAC field is empty.

    PPPoE no need for cloned MAC, how to use the "default"/factory one?

    So I'd like to use the MAC this port was given at the factory; how do I do that if an empty field doesn't cut it?

    PPPoE no need for cloned MAC, how to use the "default"/factory one?

    No dice. I can change every setting in advanced ISP requirements, the only thing that will make it connect is to have any MAC in that field. If it's empty it will PADO timeout. Very confused.

    PPPoE no need for cloned MAC, how to use the "default"/factory one?

    I restarted everything (modem, router) and it still won't take a blank field. It sayd PADO time out. If I put virtually any other MAC on clone MAC, then it's fine without even rebooting anything.

    PPPoE no need for cloned MAC, how to use the "default"/factory one?

    If I leave it blank, it says Timeout waiting for PADO. If I put my laptop's MAC and change one character, it works. What am I missing?

    PPPoE no need for cloned MAC, how to use the "default"/factory one?

    When setting WAN to PPPoE, under Special ISP settings, there is a field for the MAC address. My ISP doesn't care about my MAC and I'd like to use the one assigned to that port at the factory (i.e. no cloning). How do I do it? Do I leave the field blank? Do I have to find the MAC from the...

    No PowerOff button in the GUI?

    When I want to turn off my router, I just pull the plug because I can't find any power off button in the GUI. Is it the right way to do it? If not, where is the power off button in the web interface?

    AC66U tries to download and import rstats file at every boot. Can't find where to disable.

    But it can't import the file. I want to disable this, because it's useless, but I can't remember where I defined it. I checked in /jffs/scripts and there is nothing to that effect there. I checked the crontab but nothing there either, and since it's in RAM, it shouldn't survive a reboot. Where...

    DHCP: 2 public DNS addresses + append router IP, no local hostnames resolution

    Hi, I have set the router up so that it uses two public DNS servers. I also checked the box to append the router's IP as a third DNS on DHCP. The issue is that the router's IP comes third, i.e. DNS1: 208.67.220.220, DNS2: 208.67.222.222, DNS3: 192.168.1.1 and when I want to resolve local...

    [378.56.2] Merlin keeps asking for password, can't change any settings

    No, the router is the DNS server for the whole network and no parental controls

    [378.56.2] Merlin keeps asking for password, can't change any settings

    Ok that's odd. When joegreat said hostname, I thought he meant the LAN hostname. I named my router `router.lan` on my network and this is what I was using instead of its IP. But if I use `router.asus.com` then there are no problems. I just upgraded to the latest firmware to see if it makes a...
