    Asus RT-AC88U - PPPoE WAN Connection problem

    As part of the initial setting ISP brought a new tplink router to be installed. They were charging for it as well. I told them that I have my own Asus router and I don't need a new router. Possibly this could be the reason as they were wanting to also sell their routers as well. Just a guess...

    Asus RT-AC88U - PPPoE WAN Connection problem

    Hurray! I got success right on step 1. I was kind of surprised with that. I had ruled out MAC address binding by using 2 different tplink routers and both of them were connecting successfully. Now under these circumstances, I think ISP is somehow allowing only TP-Link devices only, because...

    Thanks a lot Themiron for the implementation of lcp-ident and these detailed instructions. I will certainly be trying them over the weekend. Will post the update back here. Thank you once again.

    Asus RT-AC88U - PPPoE WAN Connection problem

    Thank you. Once it is available, I will need your help in how to specify/use this option. I saw there is a text field saying "Additional pppd options" which I believe you are referring to. Will it help using the same "non-standard" PPP LCP extension that my ISP and other router is using?

    Asus RT-AC88U - PPPoE WAN Connection problem

    I have already tried setting 1480 for MTU and MRU. But yes, my TPLink router detects the connection something like PPPoE/Russia.

    Asus RT-AC88U - PPPoE WAN Connection problem

    I kept looking for the problem and found very interesting facts. In PAP Authenticate-Request packet sent by my Asus AC88U has padding of random non-zero bytes whereas my TP-Link router is sending the same request with appropriate padding of all zero's. Check the attached two images for...

    Asus RT-AC88U - PPPoE WAN Connection problem

    I know PAP is not very widely used and is least preferred. But since my ISP is using it I don't have any control over it. Since these routers automatically detect the authentication mechanism to be used and then act accordingly, so to me it apparently seems like a bug in PAP implementation in...

    Asus RT-AC88U - PPPoE WAN Connection problem

    NOTE: The attached Capture.pdf needs to be renamed to Capture.zip and then it can be unzipped to extract two packet capture files. I have been able to capture initial PPPoE packets for both scenarios i.e. when my TPLink routers initiates PPPoE connection and when my ASUS initiates PPPoE...

    Asus RT-AC88U - PPPoE WAN Connection problem

    I have just got a FiberOptic internet connection installed through an EPON ONU. I am able to get internet working when I configure my TPLink router using PPPoE. Settings attached. I actually want to replace my TPLink with AC88U Asus router running Merlin 384.9. Trying to setup PPPoE...

    Asus RT-AC88U Upgraded to Merlin

    I have just upgraded my AC88U from Stock firmware (old one) to Merlin 384.8_2. I came across two issues. 1. Since right now I am using my 4G dongle as the only WAN connection so I am using my USB 2.0 port on the back for this purpose. With stock firmware, the internet light goes on whenever...
