Tutorial Distributel (Bell) PPPoE passthrough/bridge without SFP, using Nokia ONT

[L&LD]

Welcome to the forums @pcoude.

That old(er) Linksys router more than likely doesn't have the hardware to give you a measured 1Gbps down/up speed.

What does an AC-powered, GbE Ethernet-wired, device show when plugged into the Linksys?

Also, what does a WiFi AX class network adaptor used within the same room as the Linksys show, when also powered by AC power

The VLAN settings are on the IPTV Page. Set it to Manual, then ser WAN VLAN to 40.

The setting is also available on the stock firmware.

I have an older Asus Router and just got Distributel installed. Thanks for your tip. Here is how I set up the VLAN.

Thank you so much for your feedbacks! No matter what I do I never get something higher than 500mbps.
I think you're right and it's my velop whw03 that is too slow to handle the 1000Mbps speed. I'm going to downsize my plan to 500Mbps and save $10 a month ;-)

What steps can I take to debug / test this issue?

If you used that router with a previous connection, make sure you don't have old QoS settings limiting the speed, and also you don't have a VPN redirecting all your traffic through a tunnel - 200-250 Mbps is the actual throughput limit of OpenVPN on that router.

Also make sure on the Tools -> Sysinfo that Flow Cache and Runner both show as being enabled.

Thanks for getting back. I just realized I was comparing wired and wireless connections (doh!). Also I was using an older laptop so it was running on an older Wifi protocol. I think I'm ok over here (apart from posting before double checking my tests!)

Thank all you guys for the tip, it works super well. My configuration:

Nokia ONT + ASUS AX86S, Optic cable to ONT, Cat 5 cable from ONT to Asus WLAN port.
configuration in ASUS AX 86S:

1. In WAN: change the PPPoE user name and Password ( you can find in your Distributel account portail: User Name : xxxxxxxxxxx@yourhomeinternet.net
   Password : xxxxxxx )
2. In LAN/IPTV: change ISP Profile: Manual Setting + change Internet VID to 40

step 2 is important, if without, no internet connection.​

Hope it helps,
Thanks,
