Title: HG612 & ASUS RTN-56U with TalkTalk FTTC
Post by: bibacet on January 08, 2018, 10:52:38 AM
Hi,

I can't seem to get an IP address. The TalkTalk router works fine. Can anyone see an issue with my settings?

HG612
Hardware version: VER.B
Software version: V100R001C01B030SP08
Firmware version: A2pv6C038m.d24j

ASUS RTN-56U Padavan 3.4.3.9-099

HG612 Sync: https://i.imgur.com/j2w4DAN.jpg
HG612 WAN settings: https://i.imgur.com/OMN8P5m.jpg
ASUS WAN settings: https://i.imgur.com/UdQNXBq.jpg

There's nothing major in the ASUS' log after I enable IPoE:

Code: [Select]
Jan 23 23:53:02 RT-N56U: Hardware NAT/Routing: Enabled, IPoE/PPPoE offload [WAN]<->[LAN/WLAN]
Jan 23 23:53:02 RT-N56U: Hardware NAT/Routing: IPv4 UDP flow offload - OFF

Jan 23 23:53:02 dnsmasq[401]: using nameserver 8.8.4.4#53
Jan 23 23:53:02 DHCP WAN Client: starting on eth3 ...

syslog is attached (PPPoE was getting an IP address, which seems strange).

Thanks.

Looking at your screenshot, it looks like you need to configure the Asus router to using PPPoE, and enter the relevant user ID and password which EE should have supplied you with...

The information below I took from this EE page:
http://ee.co.uk/help/mobile-and-home-connections/broadband-gallery-mobile-broadband/home-broadband/broadband-set-up-guide (http://ee.co.uk/help/mobile-and-home-connections/broadband-gallery-mobile-broadband/home-broadband/broadband-set-up-guide)

The settings you'll need to update your router are below:

protocol: PPPoE (over Ethernet)
broadband username: Format similar to yourname.orangehome.co.uk@fs or PRODUCTIONHQNUN123456@fs
broadband password: You chose this when you first registered, and it was confirmed in the welcome email

Hope this helps...

Thanks, but I'm with TalkTalk, not EE. :)

Ah, apologies for that... here's the TalkTalk settings.

Looks like you'll still need to authenticate. So you'll probably need to change the Authentication to 'Yes' in the 'Special requirement from ISP' section.

In the end a factory reset worked a treat.

Thanks.
