So I put the second modem in bridge mode and then chose automatic and it did not like that and I was able to go back to PPPoE and put my username and pass in a different area and it took that and I got internet. Unfortunately I don't understand why it worked. Got to learn more.
This screen shot was taken after I gave up and put the old modem back and is not in bridge mode if I had taken a screenshot of the other modem that was in bridge mode I wonder if your answer would be different. I need more learning.
Sorry. I took off the ASUS Router and the CL modem and now have an older CL modem alone and this is what I see but I am not sure if that helps you. I did choose transparent bridge on the last attempt.
I actually did that. The set up process asked me if my ISP needs a log in and pass and I said yes but it did not work. On my last ASUS router it did work. I have that info it is the same log in I use on a CL modem. Thank you for writing.
I was just hoping to be able to set schedule for the kids, web activity, stuff that the Centurylink modems are supposed to do but don't do. My kids don't go to bad places that i know if I just want to be aware. I wish Century link could just get their stuff to work. Thank you for writing.
Resetting the Asus solved the problem. Up and running. Unfortunately, the parent controls are extremely limited having only
Enable block all devices and Enable Time Scheduling. Still working with router to see if it really has advantages to the Centurylink modem / router.
